My Firebird is on motor 9 and that one was in and out three

28 years and told myself I would never get rid of it
It sat for 6-7 years when I blew one motor and I did ball games,
dance recitals etc with the kids but still messing with the car
I broke suspension pieces, balancers, fans, engine, flat spotted
tires, blew a clutch, carb screwed up, etc, etc on the mustang
but ran it for several years and a lot of track days with Norcal Shelby
great times
My Pantera has been the reliable one but it also has had issues
with two sheared water pumps, jetting issues, minor brake issues,
broken shocks, leaking shocks, leaking clutch master, broken clutch
pin for the pedal, worn out half shafts, broken fuel pump, bad msd,
etc, etc
It has been the best car so far but again they do have issues
Like Greg says I spend a lot of time checking things, adjusting valves,
servicing fluids, plugs,brakes etc before I hit the track and there
are still times you have issues... that is part of the fun for me
as I tinker with them.. wife thinks I am married to them.. like one
of our members says... the other woman
Sometimes I walk away for a a little bit as things piss me off
but I need my fix of working and running them.. that may be
what you need
