no user servicable parts
"DO NOT OPEN. NO USER SERVICABLE PARTS INSIDE"
does this ever get your panties in a bunch like it does me, when you see products like VCRs, or stereos, or computers?
I mean who do the manufacturers think they are, some users can't service stuff, but don't the techs that do the service also use them in day to day life?
I was wondering if one day cars will be like that, maybe even needing a special tool to open the hood.what do you guys think?

I read somewhere that Volvo is building a non-user-serviceable car. It won't have a hood, it's designed so the one-piece front end has to be removed by a technician.
It's geared toward women, who (according to them) have no reason to be under the hood and don't do their own maintenance.
I'll stick to stuff I can work on, thanks.

Yep it's like a different truck at sea level but it's just something you get used to. I keep it tuned up well and it handles 10,000 ft passes with out too much trouble.
