As a novice who just ordered a Helms manual online, is it advisable for someone with little experience to work on his own car using this manual and this great messageboard? My car illiterate friends said no, it's too technical and dangerous (yes, they are wusses). They tell me stories of people they know that got electrocuted, burned or their car fell on them. What stories can you share on your first go at it? Any funny ones cause I'm sure I will have some embarrassing moments. Just hope I don't kill myself or the car.
