I submit they are.

Although I was intimidated at first, it's still an internal combustion engine... but today you need a tuner & O2 sensor to upload the tune vs timing light, vacuum gauge, mixture adjustment and assortment of jets, etc.

 

I had an old first gen Ford Fiesta and that was about the easiest, simplest car to work on. For example, the front and rear bumpers were swappable and each only held on by two bolts.

An old '79 BMW 323i I once had (Euro gray market, no emissions controls) was also surprisingly easy to wrench on. I could adjust the valves with a feeler gauge, a 10mm wrench and bit of coat hanger alone. Now with my '01 M3, you need a team of PhDs and a second mortgage to change a light bulb on the thing.

 

Our old Yugo Skala 101 was so easy to work on.

 

The old VW beetle. I remember when I was a kid it broke down once and my dad pulled the engine out on the side of the highway and fixed it and put it back in the car. All with just a few hand tools.

 

Indeed, very easy, my brother messed with quite a few. I find the fox cars to be fairly straight forward and easy to work on.

 

There simply is no way in hell that Jeep came apart that fast without major modification. I'd be willing to be if you drove it much faster than they did it would come aprt on it's own.

 

i kinda figured the cards were stacked in its favor. i mean it doesnt even look like they unbolted the body to get it off. still, its worth a giggle to watch :P
