While I've had 9 Aston Martins in the past - any that was a potential money pit was under warranty - most have been very reliable - the largest money pit in relationship to my income was a MG Midget - relative to what I was making at the time I could not afford to continually fix the thing and eventually abandoned it on a beach along the shore of Galveston in the mid-1970's!

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe. Pretty but very pricey. Had my fun with it but never again.

An Iso Grifo barn find.

I found it. It looked fixable. The cost plus refurb passed 6 figures.
