That's a big part of it this sort of thing.

If it's an unexpected repair that's outside of some of the easy tasks where you've got to tackle a big and/or unfamiliar job at an unexpected time and that job has a deadline because it's on your only/main driver, that's less fun than something that you were able to plan ahead to do when it's convenient for you.

Ideally, you've got an extra car that can assume driver duties if a problem pops up so you aren't stuck having to do something unexpectedly.

Having to get home from work Tue night and repair something before that vehicle can be driven to work Wed morning or something like that, is the worst.

I remember the missus being on the side of the road in her miata and me getting an alternator and driving 30 miles to replace the alternator on the side of the road. That sort of thing sucks too.
