Having just spent a lot more on dental work in the last three months
than I've spent on all of my LBCs in several years, I can certainly
understand your metaphor....
Welcome to the Triumph clan...look forward to seeing you on the
Northern Virginia roads...

I bought a 76 TR6 a couple of weeks ago. It's now in the shop for a
physical and $1500 worth of "minor" repairs so I can put it on the road with
minimal (a relative term, I know) risk of breakdown in the middle of nowhere
and risk to life or limb. But I L O V E it already. I had a Healey BJ8
about 15 years ago, so I know the basic drills of owning an LBC (Leaky
British Car). I just wish that taking it to the mechanic didn't raise
emotions akin to those I get when walking into the dentist office!!! You
know there'll be pain. You don't want to do it, but you know you need to.
You might even feel better afterward!! Do they make health insurance for
Triumphs?
