Default The answer is......

The answer is, anything that we are working on at this time. The list goes on and on...heater core, plugs and wires replace, opti replacement, etc.

True. Even oil changes can get complex real quick if you aren't careful..

Haven't had mine too long, but I probably say the #2 plug on my 89. I have dropped more plugs into a black hole than I have in the motor.
Getting manifold teardown to a science, though!

My most frustrating part is getting up to the parts counter, and hearing the guy say "Ohhhh, a Corvette, you know those parts cost more"...
