Tell me about Fox Bodies

[Jake]

My thought - you are seemingly dumping a car because it is experiencing common maintenance issues and planning on replacing it with something older that will likely have way more issues...

+1.

Ignoring wear items and maintenance on an old Toyota works because it's, you know, a Toyota built when they gave a shit.

Ignoring wear items and maintenance on anything else will not turn out so well. Nothing you've mentioned with the BMW has been a big issue IMO,

You're basically going to be trading a dog shit sandwich for a cat shit sandwich with whatever else you buy that's legally old enough to buy pornography and/or drink moonshine. Might be more "your taste" but at the end of the day, the work it will need is going to be a different flavor of shit compared to BMW shit or old-ragged-out Miata shit.

I know nothing about Fox bodies and I like them enough with the right wheels and exhausts and stuff, but much like I went :roll: at "the CSB is toasted ugh I don't care fuck this car I won't even do the repair properly my god BMW is a bunch of dickholes" I will similarly :roll: at whatever maintenance a Fox body requires that you want to avoid doing.
