If you get mad/frustrated working on your own cars, maybe you shouldn't, it's supposed to be fun as well as saving a lot of money.
It helps to have a spare car or two though. It's not as much fun when you've lent out one of those spare cars to a friend and then X decides it's going to need a multi-day repair during the work week...

VPG is the Valley Pan Gasket. While I agree with what you are saying about it should be fun... you can't honestly tell me you've gone into a job and pretty much every single thing isn't going right still makes you chipper. I mean there are times I get frustrated and then need to just step back from it, expecially if I have been working at the same task for 40 minutes. I.e. the VANOS Solv seal flange. What a BIOTCH! The rubber had welded itself to the SOLV and the last ditch effort was to drill into the flange and crate a pull system with 2 self tapping screws and forced the damn thing out.
