Dumb engineering which unnecessarily complicates my life is a major pet peeve of mine when it comes to cars and trucks.
I owned a 2000 Toyota Tundra for awhile. That was absolutely the easiest modern vehicle to work on I have ever owned. Very well engineered. The first time I went to change the coolant I found petcocks with hose nibs already installed on both sides of the engine block, AND they were easy to get to.
My '05 Suburban didn't even have a drain on the radiator. Curse you bean counters!
The Tundra was the one vehicle I owned that I actually overestimated the time required to do things. My '73 requires that I estimate the time to do a project and then multiply by 3.
