Not everyone is mechanically inclined. They may have never worked on another car.

Working on a car that was at the top of the high performance food chain can be intimidating for those that have never turned a wrench. I know I approached the challenge with "reverence" and I have been wrenching as a hobby since I was 12. With all the marketing and hype that you hear when you were a kid I was conditioned to think that working on a Porsche would be next to impossible.

DIYing is like drugs. The cost can be staggering, and it can take over your life. You start out changing light bulbs, air filters and oil. Then you join the "engine drop" league. After a few years you acquire more tools, compressors, welders, and equipment then you need, a bigger space to install a lift and extra parts that you "may" need down the road. I could purchase a second car with all the "support" I have to keep one 911 running.

At times it can be over whelming, especially when it seems to take over all of your free time.
Who here, that does their own work, doesn't have a "to do list" scheduled over the next couple of years?
