I think its because they either...
1.) they really don't know about the quality of some reps.
2.) can't deal with the fact that they spent 10k + on a rolex, when we can take that same rep version, mod it for a few hundred dollars and have the same effect.
3.) they are just sad, pathetic people.
I really don't understand these guys, they act like they own the damn brands and pay the salaries of the workers there. We have plenty of guys who own gens here... form what I hear some members here a very well off and we even have private jet owners on the fora.....
its all a chauvinistic group of little **** owners.
BTW, I'd like to think not all of those guys are assholes... just most of them.
