Mike Wilson world formula spec cart for $4000 (new and fully optioned). Production based racing, or any “fendered” racing for that matter is overwieght, under handling, and overpriced. Not to mention non spec racing is for chums. I could have bought that and a FV by now. ---

i wish i had bought that white, loaded leather '95 SHO that BigRon’s dad was selling like 4-5yrs ago instead of my '94 4.6 t-bird. only had 60K on it & i think it just had the maint done. not like the tbird hasn’t held up great over the past 90K, but that would’ve been more fun 🙂 aside from that, i wish i had gotten into hondas sooner, but it still wouldn’t affect where i am now. i guess i don’t really have any car regrets except for buying the tbird 1mo before the SHO went up for sale. ---

I searched for my first car years before I turned 16. I had the cash, and a father that would let me buy a car. I ended up with a '91 Jetta GLI that I loved. Cars I regret not buying: -'65 Rambler Ambassador 'vert, really clean and cheap. I just thought it was cool. -'61 Galaxie beater for $900, rusty, and it ran, I could have had some fun with that. Probably would have wrecked it the way I drove. ---

How is it the opposite when the decision (then and now w/ 20/20 hindsight) and my arguments (for the most part) were the SAME? Just various people screwed me around on money (and three years later that hasn’t changed) and I couldn’t get my deposit on time. Winter passed and in spring I feel into, as Carrol Smith puts it “The SCCA trap…” Club racing is fun and all, but the only variable in racing should be the driver (not car choice, engine/ballast compensations, time and money put into the engine…) ---

I would have went back to december 2003 and sold short every 04GTO on dealer lots for sticker price or above. Then I would have bought them back for $10-15k less, still new, still on dealer lots, a year later [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/if-you-could-go-back/34471.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/if-you-could-go-back/34471.md?page=3)
