I didn't think you were acting/being (like) a dick at all...and I didn't want to appear like one either.
I guess that it just all comes down to personal preference...as does basically everything in life. I love dark haired women, some guys love blonds.
Either way, it's your money, spend it however u want, u work hard for it, or at least look like you're working hard when your boss is around.
Basically, Kyle and I just wanted to inform people, as u are doing too. It all boils down to none of us wanting to see other fellow car enthusiusts getting ripped off.
