A DSMer's rant.

[AJ]

I say keep bitch. Put every option you can think of out there and go for whichever one will put a smaile on your face. I mean seriously some people on here want to have the perfect 1G or 2G right now. They buy used parts over and over, break a few things, sell it, get another on, rinse and repeat. I don't even own a DSM anymore and my next ride will be a 3S. But I know for a fact I will have a DSM again. I love the cars, but I know you just can't rely on the standard practice's these days of junk yard hunting for replacement parts and buying a parts car in case something on your car breaks.

When something breaks, buy new or re-man parts. Do you think gusy like Shep put anything but trusted new parts on their cars? Not a chance. And no, you won't have the resources to do everything someone like Shep or even a average shop owner might do. Well the fact is you do have every opportunity to put the right parts in a car the right time. And if you drive it right, care for it right, it will last. When a tie rod goes out don't reach for the neared junk yard replacement. Get new and get another 75k miles out of it, instead of 5k miles.
