I didn't read it as I don't want to get violent so early in the day. The over-zealous modifiers with cheap tastes on cheap budgets tend to dishonor the person first... THEN the marque if it happens a lot.
I see WAY too many of these cases in Pantera-land, as we all have, which sorry to say leaks over into the psyche of the non-Pantera fan.
I'm actually amazed sometimes at the HIGH build quality of my car, having had many dozens of internal bits scattered about during cleaning, r&r, etc. Ghia did a nice job; Dallara did a nice job; deTomaso did a nice job. I have no shame on the quality of our favorite cars.
As the POORLY overly modified cars eventually die off or go away, I think this 'questionable quality or taste' issue will fade accordingly. Can't wait.
