Seriously. Shitty, no name parts are like an ugly girlfriend. You don't wanna be seen in public with her, so you never bring her out. All of your friends have ugly girlfriends. Afterall, birds of a feather flock together. When someone questions you on why you have an ugly girlfriend, you go into this tirade explaining that she's smart, knows how to fuck, cooks for you, etc. But you know what? Your girlfriend is still ugly and no one gives a fuck whether she's smart, a whore in bed or is the modern equivalent of Julia Child.
Buying cheap parts for a car is like having an ugly girlfriend. You have to explain / rationalize your decision to bed that ugly whore - you have to explain that you saved a bunch of money by buying this "great" substitute for the real deal... and that it performs just as good as the real deal. Uh huh. Other dudes with ugly girlfriends come to your aid because they're in the same predicament - BUMPIN UGLIES. Just the same, your "e-buddies" on the forums come to your aid and defend your decision to purchase that piece of shit part because they're in the same boat. And you high-5 one another on the forums for buying the same cheap shit. Nice. You must high five yourself for having ugly girlfriends too.
Look at all these idiots on one forum taking a VOTE whether to buy Rota wheels or not... and the virtual high-5s they give one another.
So all you Megan Racing, OBX, eBay, D2, Invidia, Rota and other cheap shit buying idiots, congratulations. You can close your eyes and pretend you're tappin some fine ass, but really... she's ugly, homie.
