Hell no, boys too
My first ever car was actually rather nice - a mark 1 MX5 (I'd spent my early "rat-vehicle" years on two wheels so by the time I bought a car I had a bit of cash).
It blew up after about 18 months - apparently you need to put oil in them every now and again, something technical like that. Six years later and it's still sat on my drive, can't bring myself to get rid of it and keep telling myself I'll squeeze a rover V8 in there one day
