Back in the 70's, I was a professional tech, working in an import shop, and the Japanese cars were starting to come in for repairs.

I'm sure that if I were 5'5", or so, I would have had an easy time working on those, but, I am 6'1", so there were many times I needed an extra joint between my wrist and my elbow.

I have cussed many an automotive engineer's designs!
