>Man, go work on a 1960's or 70's bong
I own both 60's bong stuff and an MX5. Austins, Jags, Vanden Plas', Silver Shadows, Mk2 Jags, etc., etc.; I've been involved with a lot of them, and I'm not denying that they're all plagued by rust, but to say that MX5s "don't rust" is beyond comical. They give MGBs a good run for their money, and as an added bonus they tend to rust from the inside out, meaning that what you see on the surface is never a good indicator of the car's actual condition. On the flips side, I find that while most brit stuff does rot worse, they also tend to wear that rot on their sleeves, so to speak, so it's far easier to gauge just how fucked they are.

TLDR; They're both fucking awful for rust, if you buy either you should Waxoyl them every year or only drive them in the summer.
