She is used to seeing stuff like that now, hell since she's known me. We had a spare bathroom she decorated in fluffy pottery barn stuff and one day moved the shower curtain and found the head from my 83 GTI sitting in the tub (hey it was an apartment...)
There are a few lugs integrally cast into the OM603 intake mani at #4 and #5 that make it tough to get at the bottom bolts, even having removed and replaced them all 2 yrs ago. Maybe I need more doctor seuss ratchet extensions or something...or a 24" long allen wrench.
Anyways, I love the OM603, but if you take it into the shop everytime it needs attention it will get $$$$ quicker than a 123/6. And temper my opinion of the car with the fact that Im known for going about things the hard way. I figure if we landed on the moon, damn near anythings possible. Well maybe with exception of fixing the sunroof...
