Default What cars do you hate working on????

I know some of the people on here are mechanics so what do you hate?

I hate:

VW/Audi - I honestly can't stand VW's

Mercedes - anything before 94 (fuck fuel distributors), especially fixing stuff behind the dash. Newer stuff is ok though.

I second VW's. All those press fittings on accessories... one use hose clamp bullshit, things that are impossible to get to, for no good reason. A 4lb hammer should be on the cover of the factory service manual.

I used to not like Preludes but I don't think to bad of them anymore compared to all the weird european shit I've been working on lately. I just pulled the motor on a 1971 Jaguar E-type V12 for a rebuild. Fucking pain in the ass, weighed a ton and had a cast iron transmission.
