    Lack of time and patience. I did my own ZKW bowl replacement and bluetooth install and there were times I wanted to throw a hammer at something.

    I don't mind doing little stuff here and there, but at this point in my life if it means putting my car up on jackstands etc., I'll just write a check instead
