   @aetios@sns.minovsky.space Yes, I was actually able to see workers put the drivetrain into a MX5 ND on the assembly line.

     @hugh@social.crablab.uk @aetios@sns.minovsky.space They said it takes 1.5 hours for a chassis to go through the entire plant and become a fully assembled car.

     @SuperDicq @aetios This is an absolute PITA to do outside of the factory, of course. I speak from personal experience.

     @hugh@social.crablab.uk @aetios@sns.minovsky.space Well the 1.5 hours is assuming the entire drivetrain is already assembled.

     @hugh@social.crablab.uk @aetios@sns.minovsky.space Also changing a clutch on a MX5 is like a 3 hour job if you know what you're doing.

     @hugh@social.crablab.uk @aetios@sns.minovsky.space Not surprising I guess. All modern vehicles are crap, even the ones by Mazda.
