When you buy just tell yourself " I didn't pay too much, I just bought it too early" Real Ford parts will only appreciate in value

Plus 1!

    An instance of how the populous is just determined to "shoot themselves in the foot" on this topic of "Walmart-Mentality", this that was brought forth in our shop one day; as a guy had purchased a couple of the 'cheap' "Garrett Like" turbos off ebay, and on the first hard-run, both the compressor and turbine blades shredded, and of course this lead to internal engine damage.  After incurring a somewhat rather extensive repair requirement, this at a rather great expenditure, on his way out the door with his "fixed stuff",  I inquired as to what he was going to do for replacement turbos this time around?    

    His response was that he was just going to order another pair of the same "CHEAP" turbos, those that had blown-up on him previously!      I said:  "What the F@#K!  Didn't you learn anything from the previous experience?"  He said: "But they're just sooo . . .  cheap!  I can buy three sets of those for the price of only one set of the "GOOD ONE'S".   

    Scott.

And I just look at the floor and shake my head.
