I don’t want to sound mean, but when you buy an old high mileage car so you can get something fast in your price range, shit is going to break. It has nothing to do with your luck.
Now had you taken what ever you paid for that MR2 and bought a low miles much newer Focus/Prizm/Corolla or maybe even Civic (though the Honda boys keep the prices up on those) you’d suddenly feel “lucky” because they wouldn’t break.
Fast, Cheap, Reliable… Pick two. Smartest thing I ever saw in someone’s sig.
