Just read this in the "Desert Octagon", put out by the Tucson MG-T Register.
They in turn credit "The Morris Gazette", from the Arizona MG club. Feel free
to replace "MG" with your favorite marque if so inclined.

Ten Commandments of the MG Collector
I Thou shalt not store thy MG out of doors.
II Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's MG, nor his garage, nor his
tools, nor his manuals.
III Thou shalt not love thy MG more than thy wife; as much, but not more.
IV Thou shalt not read shop manuals on company time, lest the company
make it impossible to continue thy car payments.
V Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's Porsche, nor his Mercedes, nor
even his BMW. [Hmm, no mention of Miatas.]
VI Thy shalt not let thy daughters nor thy sons marry during the holy
days of Brooklands and Silverstone.
VII Thou shalt not decieve thy wife into thinking that thou art taking
her for a romantic Sunday drive, when, indeed, thou art going to look
at another MG.
VIII Thou shalt not buy thy spouse a floor jack for Christmas.
IX Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of thy latest
restoration, at least not all at the same time.
X Thou shalt not promise thy spouse a new addition to the house and then
use it to store thy MGs and spare bits.
XI Safety Fast!
