More like my daily driver.

If anyone wants to complain about workspace under a hood, try a BMW V12 wedged in a 7- or 8-series model. It recently took me about four hours spread over a few days to replace a ~$0.50 o-seal in the hydraulic system on my E32.

Still, I am going to agree about the fender-well battery on the Corvette C4 being a nightmare. There are a couple of different ways to go about the process, but for anyone taking body panels off, be sure to double check the fender alignment before using the driver-side door.

For another model just about as bad, try a Sebring convertible with the 2.7L V6. The battery is buried in the fender-well in front of the driver-side front tire. It is not a challenge to change, but the time it takes to do it can certainly be annoying enough. Did one, well, once. It is not a task I hope to repeat any time soon.
