Went to a barbecue once and heard the host complain it had just taken five hours to R&R a starter in a Mercedes. He said they finally had to get a small girl, with small hands, to help because of the clearance problems. My friend, who was familiar with those cars, said "Didn't you just pull up the carpet and find the removable access panel?"

Oops.

wasn't the Lexus LS400 one of the first cars to have the starter under the intake? I remember back in college while working at a parts store a guy was trying to change the starter in one, and was *****ing about how crazy it was that Lexus/Toyota put the starter there.
