I drive it because it's an affordable fun drive. So what am I
tainted by? Fun?

If you MGB doesn't run you have only yourself to blame. If you
renew/repair it correctly and not on the cheap, it's as reliable as any
other car. My '69 B hasn't given me a lick of trouble in the last 3
years. OOPS, I had to replace the battery last fall but I don't think
that's unique to the marque.

My B gets around 23 mpg running around town. It averaged 27 mpg on
the last long trip.
