| Car manufactures want to make it illegal to work on your own vehicles. Their solution is to design it so complicated to discourage or make it impossible to do so. Plus they will design tools only they have to work on them. |

| I do hear that some electronic parts required being paired with the cars computer. Even though you can replace the part it still won’t work without pairing via a dealer visit or an expensive diagnostic tool. Then there is the extensive list of sensors all about the vehicle that seem mostly to protect the automaker from lawsuits yet we have to pay for them. I like the simplicity of my late 70’s bronco and even my ‘02 Wrangler which is fuel injected but quite simple mechanically.

Page late and a dollar short
| GM in their infinite wisdom years ago designed some power window switches that require programming to the vehicle’s body control module.

Moog may replace those parts at no charge, call them up, have the part numbers, if you did the work it should be easier, they usually want to look back to a shop that sold it, but if you bought them at say autozone they should just replace the ball joints. |

You go from 2WD to 4WD electric and the power increases significantly... |

Savor the limelight
| The internet says new ones start at $220k, while 5 year old models with 30k miles seem to go for $80k. I wish a 911 Turbo depreciated like that. They seem to start at $255k with 5 year old models with 30k miles going for $225k. |
