How about "My FD is so unreliable, my mechanic/tuner spends more time behind the wheel than I do."
Or "My FD is so unreliable that the dollar amount I've spent on replacement parts earned me a seat on Mazda's board of directors because I now own a controlling interest in the company."
Or "My FD is so unreliable that the local towing company has started awarding me frequent flyer miles with each service."

My FD is so unreliable that I have to keep a month's worth (2) of spare 13B-REWs in the garage, I own an engine hoist because it became ridiculous to continue to rent one, and I'm constantly combing the junkyards and Trader ads for more engines to keep the car running...
And I can pull the engine in 30 minutes flat. Blindfolded.

Wait, that's not an FD reliability joke, that's a sales pitch for a Supra. Let me try again...
My FD was so unreliable that just after waxing a Typhoon on the highway, it coughed out a corner seal through the rear turbo and the engine died at 70 mph. When we reached stop and go traffic, it was a constant fight to keep the damn thing running, and it was shaking like crazy. After we replaced the engine with a junk yard temporary, we took it out for a test run and it blew one of the oil hoses off the oil cooler and slicked the back tires. After controlling the sideways skid at 80 mph, I coasted with 0 oil pressure into a BP station where the rest of the oil in the system went on the ground. This was, of course, at about 1:00 AM, when "all good things happen". After running over to a Safeway to buy some more oil, my trusty mechanic Trev claimed to have recoupled the oil lines. I dumped in the oil, fired it up, and immediately we had another 5-quart slick under the car. We ended up walking 6 miles to his house, grabbed the oil line and hose off my first engine and some more oil, drove back and got the car running and then limped it home at 5:00 AM. And that, folks, is how I ended up with a ruined hood liner, an engine bay doused in oil, the underside of the car coated with grime, and a second engine in the car, even though I only had about 8,500 miles on the odometer at the time.
No, that's not a typo... is everyone depressed yet?

. If not, I'm about to either get a job as a giggilo or selling girlscout cookies.
