Chairman's Award: Chairman's Award - Issue reason: Your outstanding contributions to this community have not gone unnoticed. IN my view you are a worthy recipient of the (rarely used) Chairman's Award.

More seriously, I think the danger as it lies presently with home mechanicking, is the divergence of ingrained experience away from social pressure to uphold a perceived element of masculinity/self-sufficiency/resourcefulness/skill.

Not that the issues with home renovation aren’t similar. Unreal television shows about renovating, are absolutely culpable IMO. Not very different to the YT channels where people clown about and “do” major works on vehicles.
