With all due respects, Gary was goading me (twice). If I think my car was built with flaws, I have every right to that opinion, just as Gary has a right to think that my car was perfect as built. Moreover, I have every right to do anything I want to my car, just as Gary has every right to do whatever he wants to his car. I do object to people trying to deny my right to form my own opinions. This *IS* still America. I also object to people trying to use persuasion, ridicule, fear mongering, group bullying, or any other tactic to dissuade me from modifying my car any way I want. I am a grown man. I am perfectly capable of making my own automotive decisions. Considering the trouble free distances my stupid little plastic car travels, year after year, I appear to be doing something right.
