I don't take what he said as gospel, but I've always been mostly negative about modifying, and unless buying a track car, would only buy an unmolested example. most people are idiots and don't know what they are doing. There are exceptions to this, but as a general rule it works.
As for JC.
By his own admission he's as far away from an engineer as its possible to get.
WTF would he know about modifying cars

Actually,
Gad once bought a hellamodded one cheaply and used the proceeds of flogging the tat (some of which was good stuff) to restore it to proper working order.
And there are a few sympathetically modded cars that one might buy; it's generally they get returned to standard since they are worth more like that & the genuine rice bits really holds its value.
But yes; "what on earth were they thinking?" is usually what springs to mind...

Putting the front number plate in the windscreen helps too.
