well, i'll just give one recent example. i had the opportunity to buy an '85 supra with 7k original miles. i, also, had the opportunity to buy a '78 cosmo with 42k original miles. both immaculate. both expensive. i didn't buy either because i bought an '05 crossfire srt-6 with 300 miles. however, none of those cars was altered (lowered, cheap, etc.) because i knew that if i had to change a light bulb, i might have to remove the front clip. and if i removed the front clip, i'd have learned so much in the process and i never would have complained because i loved the car. and i bought the "right" car to begin with. not something that looked "kewl" or was the right color or was something i thought i could afford. if you want a ferrari, buy a ferrari and don't complain about the service. like so many do here.
