"Junk"...more like ignorance most likely
From my experience, most people who wave at me on the road say something like, " I used to have one of those, they last forever!" I was at a local Miata meet, and told them (one of the guys said he was on a crew for an IMSA RX-7) it just broke 100k miles, they said I practically had a new engine.
the only bad mouthing I ever got was from "ricers" or people who only drive in a straight line.

I work on cars for a living. I drive an RX-7 because I don't want to have to work on my own stuff too.

My old truck was a 1990 Chevy S-10 with the 4.3L. That truck ran strong, despite all the abuse I put it through. Personally, I think any cars made after 1996 are junk because all these car companies are looking for cost-effective ways to improve things while cheapening costs and labor. It's a shame that nowadays they're not as focused on engine reliability like in the old days, when cars were cars.

They are unique, involving, and can be manipulated to make large amounts of power.
