I feel so immasculinated

I am a fairly handy guy. I can and have fixed most anything that breaks down around my house. I have repaired/replaced countless items in my lifetime. I even worked as a mechanic for a few years. There is no job that I'm afraid to tackle. And my toolbox would make any cro-magnon proud!
...but tomorrow I am taking my car to a shop for the most simple of repairs...it needs a battery replaced. Thats right; me, the manliest of men, has been defeated by a simple battery replacement job!!
Now before you real men laugh at me I just challenge all of you to replace a battery in a Chrysler PT Cruiser! Whomever the brilliant engineer was that designed this mo-fo should be burned at the stake! I'm sure I could've done it myself if I opted to spend my Saturday morning cussing and busting up my knuckles. But fuck that! I'll just pay some other poor sap to do it instead.
But I feel like such a pussy paying someone to do this job!
....anyone got some Midol?

Hard to describe. Its kinda tucked into a corner underneath the air filter box. The only way to get it out (without removing a radiator hose, thus opening up your cooling system) is to remove the air filter assembly. Unfortunately, the air filter assembly is not only attached to bunch of other important shit which would also come out, but it is riveted underneath to a bracket which is bolted to the frame in a spot where no wrench will fit.
FUCK! I hate engineers!

Chrysler did it on purpose so that people will have to pay to get their batteries replaced instead of being able to do it at home, by themselves.
it's all a ploy to make MORE money off your stupid ass for buying a PT Cruiser. although you can park in that thing, that's for sure.

that was the greatest parking job EVAR!
i will remember that for the rest of my life. no one but you with your master parking skillz could have pulled it off. you just barely fit, but you got the spot right in front of the house. i was truly amazed. <3
yeah guys, those other two cars were there before he got there. he squeezed in between them. it was awesome!

Yea some cars are not engineered well at all, I know that the Dodge Intrepid has a stupid battery placement, you have to take the wheel off to replace it. Efficiency has just gone down the drain...Have you checked the manual on it?

I work at an Auto-parts store, and sell a ton of batteries. I also install a ton of batteries (free of charge) for the elderly, handicapped, and women . I usually don't mind at all, bing, bam and I'm done.
However, When I see a late model Chrysler, either the PT or the sebring/intrepid (and another mopar which evades me at the moment), I tell my would be customer: Hell no. Not for free. Not in this 90 degree weather either. You're more than welcome to buy my excellent battery, but... all you're gonna get outta me is a jump, and directions to my mechanic buddies down the road.
It ain't really that bad, but it is time-consuming and uncomfortable for me, who isn't licensed, insured, or otherwise compensated. Don't feel unmanly, do what I do, crack open a diet crystal light and a tofu bar, and let the mechanics do their thing!!!

I've heard plenty of other people say that, but they forget that without engineers, they wouldn't have a car in the first place (or air conditioning, refrigerator, computer, etc). The engineers probably put the battery there because it was the only viable space left for it to go. Things like the radiator, camshaft, and the basic engine have priority.

Yeah, but I gotta blame someone to make me feel less like a sissy-girl in this situation. 
BTW- the mechanic who changed it this morning said it was the first PT battery he had done also. He said it was a bit of a pain in the ass and took him a few minutes to figure out how to go about it. I think it was worth the $60 in labor he charged me to save myself the aggravation.
