I pretty rarely get involved in any kind of banter like this, but while I agree that high quality comes at a price, price doesn't always constitute better quality. As Teejay amusing pointed out the first complaint we'll most likely hear is that the paint has come off. Back in the early days when I still had my race car there were times when we may have put wheel nuts on the car that were old and most likely cheap (lost nuts, fucked threads, etc), and the combination of having five attachment points stopped the failure of a wheel 'falling off'. I have this discussion with people in other fields away from automobiles where people are adamant that because something is a quarter of the price it's going to fail and you're going to die, and it simply is not the case. I think some people get a bit carried away at times.
