i do not know why someone would want to steal one of those pitiful little cars
anyway. it would probably break down before they got it out of the parking
lot. if i were to steal a car i would steal a rare classic or a modern sports
car with air conditioning and fuel injection. i would not steal an overvalued,
underpowered, finicky carbureted, mass produced, rust bucket. if i did
consider stealing one of your mg clones i wish you would shoot me with your
smith and wesson.
