So they bought a car that is worth $5k...eh, you can't do much if they aren't going to take care of it. They are a dime a dozen.

I would understand your argument if it was a $30k BMW and they were just pissing the money away.

99% of the general public doesn't care that your car is a nice representation of the car nor do they care if it the worst representation...they only care if you affect them in some way (part falls of the car).
