But that's just my opinion.

I suppose the engine assembly could be robotic, that had not occurred to me.
Primarily I just meant that assembling these parts isn't that difficult, its primarily just time-consuming and a matter of having the correct tools. Heck, reading through the instructions, I'm pretty sure I could do it in a fully equipped shop and I definitely qualify as a local yocal.
They are also requiring (or maybe its recommending) that it be done by an appropriately trained and skilled craftsman.
In the end though, I know different people have different levels of comfort with these things. In the end (at least in my case) we're talking about a $12,000 car at this point so I can only expect so much.
