In 1979, while living in Detroit and having a Mom working for GM and Dad working for Chrysler, I bought a Triumph Spitfire as my first new car.

My parents said, "How could you buy a non-American car when the auto industry is hurting as bad as it is?"

My response was, "As soon as Detroit makes a decent two-seat roadster, I'll buy it."

They did, so I did. End of story. Took 'em 27 years, but who's counting?
