I've done it once but honestly the main obstacle is space to work in and time to do it.

If it's a choice between spending an afternoon fucking about in a clumsy way and getting dirty, versus paying the man 50 to do it, I'll probably go with the second option.

I would do it, same with oil changes, but I live in a apartment and there's no room to work on your car. It's pretty easy to do when you can just YouTube a tutorial.

In this world, is the destiny of man controlled by some transcendental entity or law? Is it like the hand of God hovering above?

Done it many times. Hardest point for me were seized bolts. These were a lifesafer:

Its not that it's not allowed, I just don't do it out of respect for the other tenants, there's not much space either.

It's not that hard, even assuming you only have it jacked up off the ground. At least then you can sit and work on it unlike changing oil or messing with an exhaust. But I also have a friend with a lift so car work is significantly easier.
