[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2559366, member: 116181"] You give the CEOs and engineers too much credit thinking they listen to the accountants. If I had my way trucks would be built to last forever and Remington wouldn't mass produce crappy rifles, but then the marketing people would get their panties in a twist that people would stop buying new shiny things. Bean counters understand value, I have never once in my career ever come across one that ever made the decision to save a penny to cost a buck down the road. Engineers don't listen to us either, they think they're super-special smart (they are super-special, I'll give them that) and when I say things like "hey, maybe the oil filter shouldn't drain directly on to the steering rack when it's unscrewed cause it'll make oil splash everywhere" they scoff and tell me to go back to my calculator and leave the enginmahneering to the expurts that make decisions based on ease of assembly and not repair/ service. This accountant wouldn't ever be dumb enough to put a composite oil pan under an engine that can't be replaced without removing the engine mount, just saying. If the engineers got dirty and twisted some wrenches on occasion maybe they wouldn't build things that look like they're intentionally screwing over the shop guys. [/QUOTE]
