Part of your mental checklist when getting in the car is:

"Did anything fall off last time?"

In my case, today, the answer was yes. The evening before, while out for a drive, I flipped the driver's sun visor from over the door to over the windshield. Well that was my intent. The visor came off -- smoothly and with no fuss whatsoever -- in my hand. I was turning to head east so it was no big deal and I just tossed it onto the passenger seat. Cursed mildly though, figuring something snapped/split/otherwise broke.

Apparently not. Removed the mounting bracket (2 screws) and gathered a screw and a spring from the backside. The screw went into the visor and the spring betwixt the two. Nothing seemed to be broken, nothing seemed to be missing, I guess it just came loose after 38 and 1/2 years.

... when you can pop the hood, jump out of your car, turn a screw to correct your idle, close the hood, and jump back in the car, all before anyone gets pissed off or the light turns green. ;)

Everything on every car is user servicable IMO. It's just that, for the most part, the older cars are easier.

Older women are easier as well, and easier to service, but nowhere near as fun to tinker with.
