Guess how people feel about building a computer. Try explaining to someone that's never built a computer, from scratch, how to pick out parts, explain all the details and specifications, install the os, update drivers, and configure.
They'll become bored in 5minutes because to them it's not worth the hassle, just like building a car isn't worth the hassle to you.
Again, since you won't listen to reason, why don't you run a poll? Then you can disagree with almost the whole world, instead of just me.
Resurfacing a rotor is comparable to what, resurfacing a hard disk in the comfort of your own home? Refute these facts, if you're feeling a mite silly this morning:
1. There are more parts, each with varieties from vastly more manufacturers, in cars than in PCs.
2. There are more types of cars than PCs.
3. It takes longer to put a car together.
4. It takes longer to secure parts, space and tools to put a car together.
5. It takes longer to learn how to put a car together. (If you claim different, you're a flat-out ass. People train for months or years just to really begin with cars, but someone can learn how to put together a PC in a night if they try.)
6. There are many more types of maintenance required on a car than there are on a computer.
I understand that no one really likes to admit they're wrong, but just run a survey if you won't admit the truth to yourself...
There's plenty of value in building one's own car, but it's clearly not as easy.
