You forgot:  3.  You live outside the rust belt.

To be honest with you, paying folks to do things like rear struts are well
worth it, unless:

1.  You are unemployed, a poor student, or poor because of other
circumstances, and have a lot of time (but no money).

2.  You are a true masochist who enjoys spending a weekend struggling with
parts that will break upon removal.

The strut part is OK, but the rear pinch bolts are smaller than the front
(and you managed to break a front one!!), plus there is always the joy of
getting old swaybar links off and putting new ones on.

Yep.  Lived in Cleveland it's whole life before I got it.  I'm afraid to
do the rear struts now.  I was going to do them in a couple months,
but I may pay a shop to do them now.
