Totally agree - the LWB can get beached...however the lack of power steering, the leaf springs and the solid unsprung bench seat means your internal organs will have been liquidised long before that happens.

'89 Mazda RX-7 bought it in '97 for $1000 lasted for a few years without A/C until I bought a 2000 VW Jetta, which was a great car when it wasn't falling apart.

I ignored the unspoken rule that a first car should be cheap and bought a second hand Audi A3 (2007, 2.0 TDI, 6 speed S-tronic) for about 13k.
That's still my car.

A '76 Chevy Monte Carlo[^], yellow and black and rust, aka. the Bumble Bee Mobile. Paid $200 USD, lasted about a year. The door panels would flap over 40mph, had a pretty decent stereo though.

I drove 7 cars over the last 20 years, but owned no car - never.
The first 3 was of my father, and the other are belonged to the company I work for...

1981 Honda Prelude, drove it until the transmission locked up. Loved that little car.
First cars I drove were a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (4 doors, vinyl top, and AM only radio) and a 1972 Ford Pickup truck (with the gas tank inside the passenger compartment)

Mine was a Wolsley 16/60[^] in blue.
Paid £20 from memory - from a guy who split up with his wife - I think it was his wife's car.
Did me well for a few miles, but cracked a cylinder & would have cost more than I had to fix it.
I tried leaving it in the local car park with the window open and the keys in the ignition - but I jsut got a note from the council telling me it would be towed & I would be fined, if I didn't move it.
Eventually I paid someone a case of beer to remove it

I had a 1958 Standard Ensign that I bought for £41. It was a tank! Weighed over a ton and had non-servo, non-disc brakes. Stopping it was an adventure. With its 1296cc engine, starting it moving was fun too. No power steering, cross ply tyres. Bench seats. Column gear change.
Accelerator had a cable drive that left the throttle wide open if it broke, ask me how I know that.
I loved that car. Says a lot about me perhaps.
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Exactly what I was thinking! Is a good picture though!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

water on the camera lens wouldn't cause that effect.

In the corner, where the rainbow ends obviously! 
It is not like you cannot get to it. A circle is after all just a line with a hole in it.

Bad news - the pot of gold is ascribing a probability density matrix around the whole rainbow. The best you can do is build walls around it and catch the the gold leaks out around the outside. Don't build infinitely high walls though - it'll cost more and these will stop the gold leaking out.
