I have to admit to treating my LBC as a motorcycle and just making up an excuse to drive it. Especially when it's a <40 degrees.A couple of months ago I bought a "car". It's like a motorcycle except you're still inside. Totally crazy.

Those Z cars are good. In California they are plentiful because they don't see salt on the roads. Little Datsun pickups were fun too. All Japanese cars of that era were susceptible to bad rust, including Toyotas. They were all manual transmission, while the competing American cars were automatic. The word on the street at the time was it was because they could not make a good automatic transmission. Imagine.I'll play

I have no trouble with an MG Midget
I should have elaborated. I have no trouble driving an MG Midget. I’ve never owned one. The MGB fits OK too.Now THAT is a remarkable statement Marty - I have never ever heard anyone say that they had "no trouble with an MG"...
When we moved to Windsor, my nextdoor neighbour was the chief R&D engineer of the Eaton Corp (they make truck transmissions, turbosuperchargers etc.) and a really bright guy with every tool know to man or beast. He was rebuilding an MG-B from a bunch of box and rusty bits - and doing a heck of a fine job on it.
When the "B" was all done and looking perfecto, I asked him, "Are you going to drive it to work on sunny days over in Southfield Bill?"
His head snapped up and he said, "Sh!t no Pete, I have to get to work on-time every day!"
Yes, at 5'11" long-legged, there is no more room for longer legs at all. One interesting feature which I'm finding beneficial to not much clutch pedal room is this 6spd Auto trans which can be used via steering wheel paddle shifters to select which gear you want. Its really fun! That and the left hand stereo function buttons.The MGB fits OK too.
The Miata had no reliability issues. It just doesn’t fit.
