My brother's business partner had one. I spent a lot of time keeping that POS running.
Rebuilt the engine twice. First was from a broken timing belt. That took the valves, head and top of the pistons out. Second time. I had just finished the 1st rebuild. Just got everything adjusted and running right and smooth on the first start of the engine. Zero miles on the engine. Was getting ready to shut off the engine and check for any leaks and such. Had the owner in the car. Told him to kill the motor. He throws it into 1st, and takes off down the street. Heard him going through the gears. He turns around and starts to come back. Heard him miss 3rd gear, and the engine goes quite. 5 minutes later. He walks back to the shop. We go and push the car back into the shop. Ended up with a complete new motor almost. That taught him a lesson. The assshole.
That's the last time I worked on a car for him.
