Um...well...er...

Okay...

How may quantum mechanics does it take to rebuild a DD6-71, and what
is their hourly rate?

If we can keep them busy will they stop killing the universe, or is it
all relative?

Engineers are idiots.

HEY!!!

My son and I just replaced the water pump on the Suburban, yesterday.
What sort of idiot would design an assembly where damn near everything
on the front of the engine is bolted to the water pump?

The kind that have to produce billable hours for the repair section of
GMC's string of dealerships.

I mean geese - how hard is that to understand? :)

You don't just
change the water pump, you disassemble everything from the front main
bearing to the back of the radiator. Idiots.

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

It keeps the repair shops in business.

When they replaced the engine in my new pickup, they had to remove the
cab, cross frame and exhaust system to get to the engine mounts. :)

Fortunately, I didn't have to pay for it.

"When they replaced the engine in my new pickup"
"they had to remove the cab, cross frame and exhaust system to get to
the engine mounts"

That is a pretty eloquent way of making my argument...... ROFL.....

OF course I was.

When they told me they would have to have to literally drop the
chassis out of the body to replace the engine, I was shocked. I could
see removing the hook, but the entire body?

Damn...

Then again, I have a relative who has a new Volvo something or other
and had the emergency flasher go out. They had to remove the entire
dashboard to get to the flasher unit.

Talk about job security. :)
