RE: venting about bad owners
Haha isnt this like the conversation we were having a while ago RCJ? i do feel sucky when it cost me SOOOO much to get my eclipse, and people just... mess em up (or those ugly tailights that are all black and have this 5 huge red circles and clear and bright as **** on the edges) when i bought mine the ground wire for the stereo was plugged in into the right speaker hole... it blew up, an amp wire got peeled cuz it didnt have the rubber edge on the fire wall (lots of fire) and its a perma-on amp, so the guy to shut it off pulled the cables from behind the stereo cut them in half and just tied them together when he wanted it on.... it was a HUGE electrical mess

RE: venting about bad owners
I agree with doing it right the first time. At the same time I can see why folks (like my friend and his GS-T) would do half *** jobs...I argue with him about it all the time, but it get's me nowhere, lol. It seems to be more power now and deal with the issues later, for most folks. I've been there and done that and learned. They will learn eventually or maybe to them, their GS-T/GSX is a beater to them? Maybe they just don't see what they have....that whole, "don't know what you have, until it's gone" thing.
Oh well, when I see folks who don't take care of their GS-T/GSX, it means more parts for me, lol.
