Then again, we saw a nice MGB for sale and I asked my wife if she wanted to look at it. She said it was the wrong color, but at least it wouldn't be like the Cobra where it feels like you are trying to tame a wild horse. Then we saw a triumph Spitfire for sale a couple days later in town. I promptly explained why that one would be a bad idea. A TR-6 you could talk me into though.

IMO, the Spitfire was the worst car ever made. Mine literally caught fire (dash area) while driving one evening on the southbound freeway into San Diego. I had to cut & splice the remaining wiring until I had the minimum functionality to start/drive it, at night. It was less than 3 years old. That wasn’t even the worst of it...
