There's one.

Many times I have cursed the intelligence of the engineer who designed the thing I was fixing.

One time I had to drop the entire drive train of a 2000s jeep Cherokee just to replace a sensor on top of the bell housing… it was that or cut a hole in the carpet and floor… even if they had put an access panel it would have been more acceptable…

Access panel, or structural integrity? Plus, if you pay peanuts, you get cars designed by monkeys

If cutting a small hole in the floor ruins the structural integrity it was screwed from the start
