Tiny made an excellent point here. This is why you hear the negatives of each side, people like him meet. The reason why you hear DSMs breaking all the time is people who dont have the basic grasp of their car and keeping in mind what its been through. Again, subjective thinking > stereotypes. Unless of course the stereotypes are true, and whenever I come here, I'm disappointed to find them to often be true.
