Agree with it being a chore when its job related. I'm an Engineering Tech, and handy with wiring etc, but I get a serious lack of enthusiasm when I have to do anything like this to the car! A few family and friends have asked why I don't go into it full time as I enjoy it so much, and that's the exact reason I tell them I wouldn't want to. I'd loose the enjoyment out of it if it was a job before very long.
I also get bored quite quickly with cars, and don't stick to one for very long tbh - Longest I've owned a car is 14 Months. I've got a hankering for another Saab atm though!.
Think the Corrado may well remain for a while though.
