MY Rant, GM Batteries

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, GM battery terminals.

Why did they ever do that stupidness???? why, why, why?
3 Possible Reasons

1. Allows slightly lower hood line without worrying about shorting out the battery by closing the hood.

2. Provides a ready-made market for Delco batteries.

3. Strenghten the link of GM product owners to the dealers. (SIC)
