[MODERATOR'S NOTE: This thread is pretty much exhausted and there is little new informative content, so I'm dropping further posts on this.] I have to concur. I never really thought about trying to do maintenance on a vehicle until now. Members in the club have encouraged me to tackle some of the repairs myself. I'm finding it to be challenging but not overly difficult. I always, however, ask if I should try to do something myself. The vast majority of the time it's I should! If I get backed into a corner, they help me out. Extremely rewarding!
