Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Because I really do care, I will keep this anonymous regarding the recipient and will not use his alias or name.

This is a great example of how one should view the hobby along with their replica. They are all good, vive la difference and appreciate the diversity, don't try to tear it down and belittle other owners just because they chose something different than you.

I fell in love with the Cobra as a kid and frankly can appreciate anyone's car that put their hard work into building or buying done, I prefer to enjoy the beauty of all of them
