What the hell were Mazda engineers thinking?
 

Why do you have to take of so much crap just to pull the bumper cover?

My M3 had way less stuff to take off and German cars are supposedly "over-engineered".

On a related note, I found my "small leak" on my AC Condenser. PO dropped a socket sometime he was working on the car and it made its way between the intercooler and the condenser. Smashed 4 rows on the core and there's a ginormous oil stain around the smashed up part. I bet a lot of the stuck on oil under the car is from the oil getting blown back into the accessory drive belts and getting flung everywhere in the engine bay.
