I'm more surprised that the little engines hold together for so long being stressed like that

The number of new "sporty" cars using my definition is incredibly tiny today:

Manual transmission
Convertible
Lighter than 2 tons

Manual transmissions & Convertibles aren't very popular these daze

I'm not interested in either

and I grew up on manuals
