And what about display screens with all the cars interior functions on it, then when it goes out it cost $1,200 plus labor to replace it? And lets hide the heater core under the dash so that it takes $800 in labor to replace a $38 part. While we're at it, design engine bays so that in order to change plugs we they have to pull the engine. Locate the battery in a location so that it takes 2 hours for a professional mechanic to replace it. Make the engine with fiber timing belts so if the owner doesn't follow the expensive routine of replacing it every 70,000 miles and it breaks they have to buy a new engine. Then jack up the price of any new car by $15,000 so we can pay for past and present employees health and retirement benefits so the our poor workers don't have to pay more than $100 a month for all the health and pension plans they get and never tell the public that they're paying for all that.
