Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Doing my own repairs and maintenance is the only way I can justify driving a Porsche. I refuse to pay the Porsche dealership's stratospheric rates on general principle. On the other hand, when I'm scrunched under the car, dirt from the underside falling in my eyes, and I can't find the tool I need because I knocked it under the creeper, and I've lost a nut or bolt, and I bonk my head on a frame member getting out — I wonder what the hell I'm doing there.

The busted knuckles, scrapes, and bruises add to the pride of ownership. I was on blood thinners for a yr after my heart attack. I got some massive bruises from the 928, but it was worth it. I'm going to research and try to do something before I pay to have it done. Most times it works out, sometimes it doesn't. Channeling my best Clint Eastwood, "A man's gotta know his own limitations".
Yes, we are a bit odd but now my 29 year old son works on his vehicles as well. It is a good skill and desire to have IMHO even though my skills are on the low end. My son has taken it to the next level.
