What I'm trying to say is you can't base quality and reliability on someone elses ownership/ownership habits.

So, premature failure in any automotive part is always the users fault? In a sense then, we should not take "performance" cars through any hard driving, cause if a part breaks or wears out faster than expected it's just our fault and the build quality had nothing to do with it? Is that what I'm understanding?
I can understand absolute blatant disregard for the vehicle. But to blanket it as if everyone who has an issue is just simply irresponsible, I can't agree with that.
