2004 Volkswagon Beatle. My new wife, a recent convert to right-wing-ism, used to drive one. The engineers thought “outside the box” on everything... meaning you couldn’t find anything. And rather than making things more serviceable, the idea seemed to be to make things impossible to service... such as headlights’ bulbs which took a full fifteen minutes to access.

Yet, at the same time, you could easily access some of the wiring, which ran forward from the rear-engine through the ash tray, (which is in the back seat) so that everytime someone would try to open the ash tray, the headlights would go out...

So now the driver is careening through the dark. Fortunately, the emergency flashers are the one things easy to find on the VW.
