I completely agree with you. My “motto” if you will is: if someone else can do it, I can do it. Maybe not as quickly or as well, but I’ll learn a lot.

I am self-taught when it comes to working on cars, but I can now take an intake manifold off and replace fuel injectors as well as clean valves. Brakes and calipers are something I don’t ever think I’d pay someone else to do again

I used to feel the same way about brakes. But forty or so brake jobs and 25 years later, I do pay somebody else to do them when one of my daily drivers needs it, just so I don't have to bother. I still work on my 'toy' cars, but then that's what they're there for.

Interesting motto, so you could prove Fermat's last theorem?
