That is fine and wonderful when you have a lot of disposable income.
When you don't, you do the best you can.

If that's the case, do you really want to with someone who only cares
about how much money you have, or don't have?

I know that there is only so much time and money I can devote to my car.
So I concentrate that time and money on making it run well.  Exterior
cosmetics are not the most important thing to me.  If I have time and money
after I take of the car mechanically, then I put some into the cosmetics.
I rather spend the time driving my car than obsessing over the little bit
of orange peel that was left on the underside of the bumper that I only
see when I am under the car changing the oil.
