I have been fortunate to have owned and driven some of the most iconic foreign cars in my life. The list is really great and if I would have been able to keep them i would be envied by car collectors around the world. I didn't have lots of money but was always on the hunt for unusual cars and found many in California growing up there, One day while working with my father a car drove by and the radiator cap came off of an old Alfa Romeo, 1958 Spider, and a beautiful young lady pulled over in front of me, so i gladly helped her put the cap back on the car and that's when she said she was thinking of selling the car and get something more reliable, i think i noticed oil in the radiator thinking maybe someone put oil in the radiator e by mistake and anyway i wound up buying the car for $500.00. The problem turned out to be expensive as ****, a bad head gasket and a few hundred dollars of things to fix, so this was one of many car stories in my long history. I did sell the car finally when the headlights stopped working, the starter grinded on the flywheel, and a few other issues, i was showing the car to a guy who wanted to buy it and after the transaction we were several miles away from my home when he said he needed to drop me off after giving me the purchase price in cash, i was happy to take a bus with a pocket full of cash, little did he know of the headlights not working and the grinding flywheel problem, he must have been surprised when he got out of work wondering why his lights didn't work.

Mine is not a car but the most reliable and fun to drive vehicle is my 1963 Lambretta TV175 scooter.
I bought it from the original owner in 1969 and drove it all through my college years and still drive it today.
When I bought it, it was in 8-boxes. The PO took it apart and never reassembled it. About five years ago I rebuilt the engine and two years ago I converted it to electronic ignition.
It has a 4-speed manual transmission. A fun little vehicle.
