re: #95 Barefoot Grin

My brother moved to Hamburg in the late ’80s. He gave my dad a model as a Christmas gag when he came back to visit a couple of years later. We joked that it probably leaked oil less and performed better than another brother’s MG Midget.

I’ve never understood why people put up with car brands that are notorious for maintenance issues. I mainly want three things in a car: 1) reliability, 2) a decent amount of engine power for those exciting freeway moments of the CA lifestyle, and 3) longevity.
