Neither do I, anymore.  But I sure agree that one should trade off the 
value of one's time versus the value of the parts in question.  Changing 
a brake rotor on a 2004 Hyundai?  Chop it off and move on.  Fixing a 
lever shock on a 1924 Rolls-Royce Phanton II?  A little more caution is 
indicated.
