I agree with this. People are more than happy to criticize your (in general, not you specifically) vehicle opposed to providing constructive criticism. I don't feel the quality of cars is really there anymore. Sure, there are those that still care (you and I both) but now all that matters is hellaflush with knock-off wheels and using colored zip-ties to hold your crappy fitting bumper on.
