I’ve seen fuel injected Jaguars that have been sitting for 10 years crank right up when supplied with fresh gasoline and a battery. Not exactly an impressive feat for an American car to do it after 6 months...

Yes it is. I never said anything about fresh gas or a fresh battery. I’m talking not even a jump start. There was a time when engines were simple enough you could run coleman lantern fuel in them if you wanted.

As far as your 10 year claim, I say DOUBT IT. Ten years requires wd40 in the cylinders and turning over the engine slowly without firing it to make sure everything is freed up and lubed. And if the thing didn’t have fuel stabilizer and winterized the cooling system, your in for trouble.

But if you’re really going to try to claim that a british sportscar is more reliable than an american work truck, you are about the dumbest guy I’ve met, or else you think I am if you expect me to believe that crap.
