I still work on cars, ocassionally, and yes, some are quite easy to work on, my '83 Monte Carlo was kinda fun to do a tune up on though, glad I was working at a shop while I owned that one. I had to run it up on the lift, and pull the plugs through the wheel well, couldn't hardly get to em any other way.
The one thing that got to me, on most of the newer GM applications, is the location of the ignition module, on the backside, bottom of the engine. You'd never be able to do that at home, w/out pulling the engine, unless you own ramps, and a few long extensions.
The reason for stuff like this? So that you have to take the car to the shop to get it fixed. It's not an accident, they do it on purpose.
