I own a 90 Miata 100K+ and has never let me down.
Not stock by any means either, but I will have to admit you see a lot of
women driving them (I think this is what the thread was refering to.
1 Miata
6 Roadster(s)
1 95 Jeep Cherokee
1 66 Chevy Van (20K original miles)
1 90 929 another very reliable car
1 82 Ford pickup for hauling Datsuns home
1 53 GMC bus for storage (parts)
Pretty diverse, huh?
