Those aren't exactly the kind of people who frequent enthusiast forums. There's maybe a few dozen posts saying "I bought this car on impulse and didn't do any research".
I think the only person I can name off the top of my head is maybe Tcoat.
No doubt that there are a good number of people who did such a thing but I think what's more common around here is a stubbornness and naivety about what a car is, someone who dismisses the review they just read saying "I can live with that" or "it won't be so bad" because what they've built up in their mind eclipses reality.
I know I've done that before, but usually it only takes a sea-monkey farm or expensive toy or two for most people to gain that pragmatism.
