Their extreme disassembly might have been about as fast.
The stupid part has like 7 revisions and still makes a godawful buzzing sound after just a couple hundred miles. Common advice is to replace it with a manually adjusted tensioner.

Again, depressing.
On the other hand, at least vehicles last longer and need less maintenance.
If only there were a way to combine the two, have a car with 2020's safety, reliability and emissions and as easy to work on as one from the 1970's.
