You guys don't know the meaning of the term "broken down and always in need of repairs" until you've owned a '62 tri-powered Austin Healey 3000--which was my car during college.
By contrast, the Dodge muscle car I've had for about 6 years now has very surprisingly been completely trouble-free....and it's been highly modified. Even the battery lasted over 5 years. Impossible to drive in the snow though, and it's nerve-wracking in the rain.
There really is no perfect foreign car either.
