So did they all abuse their cars because they are less informed, or is there really a problem that is only now beginning to be discussed?

Again, devil's advocate...and nothing more.

Absolutely. There's a reason why enthusiast (not track rats) cars are worth more. Hell did you guys not see the thread about people freaking out when strangers touch their cars?
