I want to be the first to nominate John Matthews, for running across the very live 101 freeway to find a rusty, broken piece of iron. That is what I call a "money is no object cheapskate." The broken gap plate had no value, but to him it represented a last chance- enough to walk the freeway for!
On quality creep, I'm with you. I call it turd polish, and I tend to polish turds to a high shine that belies the reality that polished turds are still turds. In other words, I won't be selling a vehicle for more than I've got into it in this lifetime.
I was told you can not polish a turd, but they can be spray painted. Now putting lipstick on a pig is a totally different story...........
