I understand what both Belair and Charley are saying. But, lets put it in smaller terms that I can relate to. I need a new fuel pump. I look in a local speed shop and find some of brand that has no reliability history, but looks just like (or maybe it has shinier chrome) a Holley that I saw in some catalog. They both cost the same.....even though it is a "drop in the bucket" to me, why would I not go after what I know rather than take a chance for the same money? I am not talking about for resale, but face it. Someday, all of our children are going to have our toys. In most cases, they aren't going to be on this site extolling the virtues of these cars, like we do. Even if we keep our cars till we die, SOMEONE we love is going to SOMEDAY sell our cars. None of us wants to make a bad investment, we all want the most for our money. These people don't get rich by making bad investments.....it is just strange to me.
