Can’t top that, but I did have a 8 track recorder at home once. Sold it to buy my wife’s engagement ring. It was a much better investment.

My worst car experience was a 1975.5 MGB. My third B and the only new one I owned. Piece of crap from the day I got it. Kept it six months and traded it straight across for a lower-valued Honda Civic and never regretted it.

Mine was with a '63.

Drive all week and fix all weekend (unless it burned that #3 exhaust valve and/or the clutch hydraulics went poof to extend the downtime).

Only thing that saved me from complete disaster was the electrical fire a month after I bought that [BLEEP]. Stuck the car in our shop and totally rewired it to US Navy/Grumman standards.

Still get the giggles recalling the looks I'd get when someone popped the "bonnet" and got a look at that aircraft fuse panel and wiring.
