well i had never done anything major on a car myself until i got mine. i put the new transmission in. lol it was kinda scary because i wasnt sure if i was doing it right sometimes, i was constantly checking cb7tuner to see. its probably a 2 hour job for most of you but for me it was something i am still proud of.
and a 2 day project. lol
How about stepping out of the door at work knowing you are going on vacation.
Ahhhhhhhhh.....

^^ don't know if that's really a feeling of accomplishment. A feeling of extreme relief, definitely.
-Edit: Heh, Killer beat me to it.
I usually get that feeling of accomplishment from automotive work. Sometimes it's the first turn of the key after doing a timing belt on an interference engine and hearing only good, happy engine noise or buying a $100 car that the previous owner claimed that the engine needed rebuilding only to find that the PO installed a fuel pump wrong.
But, mostly it boils down to solving some problem with some thing, i.e. car, computer, electronics, etc., and making it work correctly again.
Yeah diving into something new with a car, and doing it Right is always rewarding as can be. Crossing your fingers only to have it come to life is awesome.
Also, i agree about leaving a job/job site and knowing that it is all squared away and done right. And you don't have to look back and wonder. That is a great feeling.
