My Philosophy on Hakuna: 
Hey, I'm a teacher.  That means I need to do the most with the least cash.  Now obviously Hakuna has some cash in it, but I haven't paid out for labor on anything I could do myself.  If there is a DIY solution that retains quality, I'm looking for it.  There's my car philosophy in a nutshell.
