Same here.

My wife and I own a flower shop, so we own a minivan. I hate it. First, it gets about 20 mpg. Plus, it's not that old, but it needs the stupidest maintenance. It runs rich, but the computer doesn't seem to know it, so two dealers and one independent shop have told me there's not much they can do.

I was going to change the plugs a couple weeks ago. I had to pay someone $80 to do it, because it's a V6, transverse mount. Three of the plugs are necessarily pointing at the rear of the engine compartment, and you can't just reach them without a crazy, long, articulated wrench. I don't know how they know how much torque they are applying.

Anyway, nothing is hidden, cramped, or transverse on my bike. I work on it at will.
