That doesn’t sound too horrifying. The w203 Merc had a problem with at least one heater box stepper motor linkage breaking. I think customer pay it was like a 7hr job(I think I only ever did 1 or 2) and wasn’t too bad
Reminds me of a prank I initially thought would be minor but was way wrong. I took Auto Body in summer school between Junior and Senior year of high school and had a girlfriend's VW beetle in there as a project car as it needed some body work. There was a kid in class that had a bunch of air cooled VW's as well as a bad reputation for visiting people who had classified ads for air cooled VW's. He would make a low ball offer and then leave only for them to magically disappear a few days later. He had one of his beetles in the class without a deck lid. After a few weeks of pestering from this guy I decided to gift him a headache by switching two spark plug wires. Several days go by before I hear him try to start the engine (I was outside at the paint booth wet sanding with other students) and hear the tell tale back fires. I hadn't said anything to anyone else and notice they're pushing it next door to auto shop. All the buildings in this area have big roll up doors with concrete pillars in between the doors and the beetle is nosed up to one about 2 feet away. The goon had a flunkie in the class that he always hung around with and I see them at the back of the car fiddling with the plug wires holding a manual. I'm still at the paint booth wet sanding and at this point I know the jig is up. I have told nobody, He tells his goofy buddy to go hop in and fire it. He does and apparently doesn't push the clutch in so it lunges forward and nails the pillar! I don't know if the screwball panicked and held the gas or if there was so much raw fuel from them trying to start it but the rear tires got a couple of spins before it was shut down. Everyone at the paint booth is looking at this unfold and can't believe it. At this point I'm just amazed and relieved that I didn't tell anyone. The pillar bashed the front in all the way to the torsion bar housing. They hauled it off on a flat bed the next day.
My parents decided before I was born, that I should be able to do as Heinlein had suggested. Should also be able to raise food, crops, kill and preserve, live off the land with what you have on your body. Design an automobile, make an electricity producing machine or two. Change a baby, feed and nurse a sick person back to health, or yourself, sew, clean, and stitch an open wound back together. Also be able to do the same for other people. Teach a dog, I found if the dog loves you, and you are Alpha, no training needed. It just is.

What’s up with that oversized nugget? Bad photoshop or ??
Interwebs says her name is Nicole Ross… more research required! LoL. Here’s one where her noggin’ doesn’t look like it has its own gravitational field:
