Cars you won’t do

"prone to dropping ignition key codes "

I'm prone to excess flatulence should I drink milk so I avoid it.

Cars are prone to doing a great number of things when poked and prodded like an old lady poking loaves of bread at  the grocery store.  An experienced installer knows how to avoid invoking doom and despair from inanimate objects.

I used to have this pet rock that was "prone" to spitting in my hair when I turned my back on it... then I realized I needed to cut back on the hippy lettuce.  "prone"... lol ya, right

The new F430's SUCK when it comes to installing front and rear laser and radar detectors. In order to mount the detector and diffuser, the whole front end comes off! This is the most nerve racking experience, not to mention it needs to be lined up when put back on and that front bumper has some mighty sharp points. Usually we have a tech from the Ferrari serrvice shop come and assist.

I recall VERY vividly, back in 1989 when I worked as a cellular phone installer in Virginia Beach, seeing a car come in for an install that had an infestation of c**kroaches.  I'm not overexaggerating a sighting of one or two bugs either.  I'm talking about an absolute unadulterated full blown grade AAA infestation of c**kaRoaches.  I lifted up that back seat and I nearly soiled myself.  All I saw was a kaleidescope of them in all shapes and sizes.  I would have walked off the job if they had made me work on it.  We had another guy in the shop who did the work.... although he went to jail a couple of months later for stabbing some guy in the leg causing him to bleed to death.  I think about him from time to time. 

I won't work on a Mazda Millenia for anything. i replaced the front speakers on a 2001 model and ended up having two damage claims that day. the f*cking doors are made out of some god damn foam so when you pull on them you have to be super care full not to crack them. oh yeah and plus they have some stupid medal clip in the middle of the door that you can't avoid breaking to get the door off.

What exactly is a Vauxhals I am in the states and never heard of them. Are you being fecious or is that really a car?

Would someone please tell BMW to secure their runningboards in another fashion.  I loathe them so. 

Saab 95 one of the worst cars that we wont work on. takes over 1 hour to take apart. A typical remote install takes 4 hours

Jaguar, most any year.  I loathe their elecrical systems with the intensity of a thousand white hot suns.  I remember long long ago when installed cellular phones were typical, I had a jaguar do some very crazy things after I got done.  Eight hours of troubleshooting later I couldn't find a thing wrong with the install and chalked it up to goblins.  Ten hours of my life went into that car, and I will never do another.

i agree with the jag issues...i had one, can't remember the year..one of the first years in canada i guess (accordring to the owner, beleive was somethng like 86) the cd install wasn't bad...it was running the power wire for the amp he wanted...had to weave it in and out of the frame where the rest of the wiring went...might of been better if it wasn't my first install at that job...

i also agree with the smelly cars..i had one 96 cavalier, i had to roll down the windows and pretty much hang my head out  the window no to toss my lunch...it smelled like spoiled milk with a lil tossed lunch and a little dirty diaper thrown in for a wonderful smell.....3 hours later when i got home my g/f even smelt it...
