I'm still wise in the ways of the breaker point and the carburetor. Skilled am I with a timing light.
Doesn't have to be perfect. After all, some of my records are scratched. There's dust on the turntable.

Do you know what BOAT stands for ? Yes, "Break Out Another Thousand" was the norm for boats with tops. It is the new norm for any old car...
One of the considerations of owning vintage or newer sporty cars, is the price of Premium fuel. Not terrible, but worthy of considering. There are some cars, worthy of "motoring" which can run on regular grade 87 fuel. In fact, there are now some turbos which can run on regular !
I am not sure of all the Miatas, but most of the older British and all MINIs will require premium 91 grade. Likewise, all BMW, Shaguar and Audi need the expensive gas to run right...
Research can be a key...There is tons of info online and via the car clubs. You know, I just recalled a time when our stereo obsessions were shared by fellow enthusiasts. That was a long time ago...Well, sporty car owning can still be like that...literally a fun hobby...
and I'll concede that old car ownership can get expensive but it can cost even more to repair late model cars that are no longer in warranty
And I'm a decent wrench. I've rebuilt engines (well, one engine at any rate), installed complete performance suspension kits, etc. I can even paint and repair seats. Been at it a long time.
