<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2516046, member: 36230"]No, that's not what I'm saying and you <i>know</i> this. The comparison to Carvel was given to clarify and is perfectly valid considering where this little debate has taken us. Instead of fucusing on the product itself, you're deflecting onto other factors. Valid as they may be, and certainly worthy of discussion/consideration, they simply have no part in the presented issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I know you're a car guy, perhaps this will make more sense. Your position that the willingness of certain individuals to pay premiums makes all the difference reminds me of how, some years ago, some people would buy body kits for their Fiero or Firebird in order to make it very remotely resemble a Testarossa. Sure, once installed the car looked "different" in a cheese ball sort of way, and obviously some were willing to pay up for the, ahem, "privilege", but at its heart the car didn't magically turn into a Ferrari. The iron duke didn't magically start breathing fire... at its core it still was what it was, and was nothing more than lipstick on a pig.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
