I think in the end result if the car is still recognizable as a Pantera it is within most peoples definitions of acceptable?
I just had this discussion with a Pantera freind the other day on this exact subject.
He thought that this is a matter of taste and he used as a metaphor that I had selected a certain type of woman to be my wife (with her mutual consent) and he wouldn't necessarily have picked her.
Now as I see it, the fault in his logic was that he selected a woman as a wife in his argument?
Personally I would never select a sheep as my wife just because you can shear her, screw her with little protest especially if you back her up to a cliff and she'll do anything not to get thrown off of the cliff, and in the end instead of divorcing her you can eat her?
I would personally draw the line on marrying a sheep and defining it as acceptable because it's just a matter of taste? That's really a stretch?
You know, a woman is like a tornado. In the beginning there is a lot of blowing, spinning and bouncing around. In the end, the results are the same. You loose your house?
