If you have a Ferrari in your garage, performance means one thing vs. someone driving a Camry.

So you drive a Protege and I drive a Civic.
All we have is reliability, and inexpensive as far as cars are concerned.
I honestly don't think someone who has a Ferrari parked in his/her garage is looking at the FT-86 with hungry eyes the way we are.
Just saying.
And as far as the quote goes -- its pretty much right on the money. You can have Fast and Reliable, but at what cost? for me, my first unborn child, and a few limbs I'm sure.
You can have Fast and Inexpensive, but how long before its in the shop with a $$$$ repair bill?
Or you can have Reliable and Inexpensive... Or affordable and dependable. Sure as hell isn't fast, but it'll last decades and sure didn't cost me an arm, leg and unborn child.
