Very well said
I tend to agree with your post. If it's pulling juice from the alternator and not making you go fast you don't need it. But I also understand that people build cars for different reasons. Some people could care less how fast their car is and would rather go for looks, and I respect them for that. As long as they respect me for having a car that can blow thier doors off
I've seen some very well done imports around here with body kits and wings that look pretty good. I'm not real big on the aluminum wings with the twin blades, but I do like shorter aluminum pedestal wings which have been on the aftermarket shelves since I was in diapers. Basically I prefer seeing something different from the norm. Seeing Mustang after Mustang with a Saleen or Cobra wing does nothing for me. Same goes with the import scene. If it's different, and done in good taste I'll tend to like it more than seeing one that looks like everyone else's.
The reason I started this thread is I've seen a lot of rice bashing lately, and that's just something I don't get into. I try to look at someone's ride for what they see in it. Not for what I would do if it were my car. My dream car is a Mustang, theirs may be a Nissan. I can respect them for that, even though I am a die hard when it comes to buying American made products. By the way, anyone want to buy a set of FORD RACING tall polished aluminum valve covers? They were made in Taiwan!!!! Go figure.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's been interesting reading.
