One reason I got a formula car was I was tired of having to do most of the
work on a car while laying on the garage floor looking up thru the wrong
part of my glasses. Most of the work on a formula car is in the range of
the right part of the glasses (unless the car is too hot to get that close
without being burned). I try to get under the car once or twice a year to
clean the underside of the floor and the dry sump :-)
