So, next time I hear someone bragging about how they work on their own car, I'd like to ask them if they also work on their:
Refrigerator
Laptop
Stove
Garage door
House (painting, drywall, lighting, electrical, etc.)
Television
Clocks
Phone
Shoes
Clothing
Microwave
Coffee maker
Lawn mower
I mean, if you want to live a life where you work on everything you own, then cool. More power to you. To me, if you're at the point where you're doing all of your own repairs/maintenance on everything listed above, you might as well go live in the woods and live off the land. Personally, even though I know how to change my oil, I'd rather go pay the $20-40 to have someone else do it. My time is more valuable than that $20-40, as I'd rather spend that 30 - 45 minutes reading a good book in the waiting area or making phone calls or checking emails.
Different strokes.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
