Hey engineers, hey dipshits, why the fuck aren't headlight covers just designed to like, pop open from the front? My brother just had to change his headlights and it involved taking a bunch of screws off so that he could pop off the back of the wheel well and then get into the headlight casing from behind and it was a massive pain in the ass. Every fucking component on every car is blocked off by layers of unnecessary bullshit

Because then you don't learn how to/can't do basic maintenance on your car and have to take it to a dealership for every oil change, which dumps several hundred/thousand more dollars into their pockets over the lifetime of the car.

usually people that bought a new/barely used car from a Make's dealer and it comes with maintenance in the warranty for a few years.
