Fanboi? Not really, but you’re obviously a hater. Sorry to disappoint you that not everyone is having shitty luck like your officemate.

Surprises me, too. Have had a Miata, a 3, and now a 6. All reliable and trouble-free.

“Starts perfect” doesn’t necessarily mean it runs. It might have non-op status for a reason, and the ad also says “great project.”

I can attest to that from personal experience. In 3 years of ownership, it never went a single month without something breaking, failing, or falling off it.

I owned a Renault 9 back in the day. Quite possibly the worst car in history. Bought it new and pieces literally began falling off of it within a month. It not only made me hate Renault, it made me hate all French cars. It made me hate anything manufactured in France.

Cocktail wiener.

What crowd? What Mini?

“Pass on the left, drive on the right might as well be a little known driving fact these days...”

It’s only weird if you don’t also include the 206/246 Dinos in the beauty contest.

“Well, I know which one I’m going to want.”

Well, yeah.
