A ton of small issues amounts to the same amount of pain and headache because the process is the same, so that sucks, and it's understandable.

By DY_nasty Go To PostTaking mine in this weekend.FWIW, when you are looking for something new, my cayman has had 0 issues. There were a couple recalls but everything else has been routine maintenance or nails in my tires.
The dealership I've been going to is apparently terrible when it comes to service. Gonna end up towing it to a location a bit further out. I might be able to drive but limp mode kicking in while in traffic isn't how I'm trying to die.
Honestly, I'm thinking of something else this year or next I like the f type a ton but every time I've had to take in for service it's been such a miniscule issue. Pedal sensor, pinched antenna, O2 sensors, etc. I'll see how it goes but meh.

By reilo Go To PostJust wait when your brakes are due :DTalked to the dealership a few months ago and that will probably happen this year. Still, six or seven years before needing to replace them ain’t too bad. And I didn’t get the ceramic brakes or whatever, so like 3k (I think???) as opposed to 14k.

I honestly would if I didn't have to register them as antiques and pay a whole other laughable amount of fees. Even if I put an all new everything in a Chevelle, I'm getting fucked by insurance, emissions, property taxes, etc

I"m seriously hoping the classic car market falls off a cliff when retired boomers die off and nostalgia and money stop inflating prices. Look at this fuckin thing:

I don't think you need to smog them, but maybe if you replace the motor with a newer one?????

Remember, for classic cars you are insuring for the cost of replacement and not the insurance value, the latter which will be close to nil. You look up at that car in KBB and it's gonna be worth like $1,600 lol.

I ain't going compact again I'll say that much
I'm not against Land Rovers either though. May even just go from this 21 to a newer F-Type

Are newer Land Rovers more reliable? My guy owns a Land Rover repair place and would never touch one himself because they're constantly in and out of his garage at a pace that made him rich.

lmao is this the cops being pouting little babies again?
“I cannot ignore that,” said Charles T. Brown, whose firm Equitable Cities has worked with communities on police reform and road safety. “That does not mean, however, that the traditional form of enforcement is necessary to reverse that trend.”
If traffic stops and road fatalities were falling in tandem — because roads were becoming safer overall, or because officers were giving fewer equipment citations while pursuing dangerous drivers instead — that would be a very different scenario.
Today’s picture suggests, rather, that as the police have responded to both the pandemic and cries for reform after the 2020 murder of George Floyd, they have also withdrawn from their role pulling over speeding cars and reckless drivers.
“When I talk to police, I say, ‘Fine, don’t focus on the paperwork issues,’” like giving tickets for expired registrations, said Ken Barone, who manages the Connecticut Racial Profiling Prohibition Project. “But that should free you up to have more time to focus on the things that are killing people. And I’m not seeing that.”

If you can't do your job because you received a mandate not to be racist, then maybe you shouldn't hold a job at all where you cannot separate your racism from your duties, much less hold one where you are legally allowed to hurt and kill people using your authority.

Well I can't speak for the very latest ones, but even if they're better I'd still want a few years of solid performance to make up for the last decade of shit

I love how zippy Mini Cooper S's and JCW's are around town. They lose a lot of that punch at tollroad speeds, but very exciting up to that point.

Is it worth $50 a month for someone to come to my place and do a basic wash and detail, assuming I was happy with the job they did in their complete wash?

You gotta assume that the "most reliable" just truly means "least amount of issues" per vehicle. Sounds like unfortunately DY just drew the short straw.
My F-Type had zero issues for the 3+ years I've owned it. Only thing I ever had to do was new tires and oil change.

Same with my Cayman. It's unfortunately bad luck. But also not atypical with sports cars.
iirc, reliability in a sports car was one of the selling points of the original Miata lol

He's right on one thing though: a small issue is just as much of a nuisance as a big issue. The process to get it fixed through the dealer is always the same and that's the part that sucks.
So a bunch of small issues you gotta go back in for might as well be the same number of big issues -- you're without the car for the same amount of time regardless.
