Well said.
However this is 240 land, where the majority of owners have a hard time living on their own, and can't even afford basic maintenence. On the other hand, it's also 'new America' where people are so damn concerned with fitting in/looking cool that they do desperate things to accommodate that need.
With that said, this has cause the overwhelming 'good enough' movement with parts (really I guess this applies to anything in life). People are willing to 'live' with cheaper shit, in order to look cool or 'have it'. Why?
People are broke and can't afford good stuff
People are impatient and want whatever they can have now
People are confused by FFF (forumfuckfaces) and Folklore, and
People generally don't care (or maybe care to know)
Those factors just really ruin everything. No body thinks about that cheap rod end busting/wheel breaking/brakes not stopping at high speed, the car going out of control, and potential death resulting from an accident -- all they think about is the street cred.
