I have a few automotive decisions that were my “Best” and “Worst” :rofl

Worst: Selling my grey 30R EG Coupe ☹ and buying my old '95.5 UrS6. Getting rid of my '87 GTA Trans Am and getting my '03 CBR 954RR :Idiots

Best: Buying and building my grey 30R EG coupe. Buying my mint purple '00 GSR, and then trading my GSR for my current TDI.

best: buying a (bone stock internal) k24/tsx swapped 2003 civic for 1/2 the value. 280,000 miles on the chassis & over 200K on the swap

Worst decision for me was initially buying that tdi… trading it was one of my best.

Selling my toy cars and just getting a dependable DD that I paid cash for, and giving up project cars for bikes, bikes are more than 10 times better to me!!! And only paying cash for stuff now, living debt free and stress free life in return:) so yea motorcycles!

My best autmotive decision ever was my Scion xB. This thing has been amazing. Best car I have ever owned, no doubt about it.

Worst was/is my ex’s VW GLI. Total POS. Hasnt been driven in over a year due literally one thing after another breaking. The car barely has 100k on it

Best: Buying the G8, It’s still worth the same it was 2 years later…

Worst: Buying the Sierra, Hindsight is 20/20.
