As a hobbits community we get pretty myopic and throw terms around like "best" very loosely. There's a whole world out there way out of my financial reach that can be genuinely "the best". We just dabble.
I agree. Well said. If I ever say "I bought the best part I could buy" what I meant was "I bought the best part for my particular combo and car and intended uses that my budget would allow." I'll never be able to afford "the best." Hell, I am very lucky just to own a vette. To be running low 11's and maybe touch the 10's at the track with the new mill in a vette that looks good and takes the wifey and I out for dinner and dance and doesn't learch and buck around, I'm estatic. Truly beside myself. I just shop for the best parts within my financial reach and they make me happy. If they don't make me happy then they will be for sale next week.
I agree. For years, used was the best I could afford. Now that I have a few bucks(and only a few) I am very selective in how I spend it for something as insignificant as hopping up the car. In my case, used Edelbrocks were my best option, and I am damn appreciative I have them.
