In my younger days I had what I considered to be the dream job. I represented a field service force to the design and manufacturing engineering folks for a major computer manufacturer. That was back when computers were bigger than cars and as mechanical. We fought for what we called RAS (Reliability, Availability and Servicability). I wanted to do that ever since I worked in my fathers garage and wondered how some idiot dreamed up the access path to check the master cylinder on what I believe to be a 1955 olds. It was obvious that the idiot who designed this never had anything more than a beer can opener in ihis hand.

When I look at what it takes to change a bulb in the front bumper of an SRX, what the local Dealers people probably had to go thru in order to straighten out the front fenders on my SRX and the grief you guys are experiencing due to the design escape on the sunroof I am reminded that there still is a need for representing the practical side of life to the parts of life dominated by engineers.
