I had a 1976 LWB Silver Shadow that I coulda claimed as a dependent.....15K in maintainence in 5 years...and that was considered to be cheap....Rolls figures 7 to 8K a year is normal and the minimum for a vistit to a dealer was 2k...that was back when I owned the thing.....I didn't consider it to be the worst car simply because it was a nice ride....just think of driving down the road sitting in your living room easy chair at 80 mph..... The smell of the leather, smell of the wool carpets and wood.....ahhhhh U just had to touch the automatic trans shifter to shift it and steering was light as a feather and smooth you coulda put a quarter on the Radiator grill and it wouldn't have moved....
