In '86 when I was 16, my first car (and my second car) was a TR-4.
Yeah it broke a lot.
But much more often than not that was because I was a teenager and not because
the car was in it's 20's.
Also because I was a teenager, I wanted that cool car to work again as soon as
I broke it. Made me work hard and learn quite a few lessons the hard way too.
I learned a heck of a lot going through high school in those cars.
What would it have been like if I got a Honda?
I would have avoided many frustrating times.
I would have also missed out on some very good times.
Like Click and Clack said to the woman whose kid wanted to get an MG:
They berated the MG's to no end. . then advised getting one without hesitation.
It builds character. There's no better time to do it.

Trying to build more character driving a 1970 TR-6 every day.
