item/cost/reason
this could make for a fun thread.
I’m still thinking of mine.
.
My first car. A 95 Ford Probe GT - $2500 I believe. Ran for less than a week, even with only 52k on it. Total fucking garbage.
See my avatar?
Buying a VW.
I could also include “any meal purchased at The Cheese Cake Factory”. God that place fucking sucks beyond all comprehension. People make a big fucking deal about it and think it’s actually nice. These people are schmohawks. They most likely frequent Perkins on weekends. I went once and it was acceptable, twice was worse and third time was un-acceptable. Figures that’s what I get for going to a chain restaurant.
The last race car my father and I bought is something that I wish I could go back and Undo. We didn’t do enough research into the previous owner of the car because we got a car, 2 spare motors and countless other spares for a pretty good price. Only problem is I spent the entire first season fixing countless problems cause by dumb shit the previous owners had done. Spent way too much time and money bringing the car up to speed and just really burned me out. In hindsight we would have been way better off spending more on a better sorted car, than buying the car with a ton of spares.
95 Cirrus for my wife. GF at the time. 3100 bucks, cloud cars suck. Tranny liked to go in and out of limp mode and needed like 1100 dollars worth of worth. traded it in like a year later for a escape and barely got 1500 for it.
Dinner at the Melting Pot. 150 I think it was for Valentines day 1 year. Lets bring out a pot of boiling stock with some raw meat and veggies that the customer can cook themselves and charge alot for.
Any fucking chain restaurant in Cheektowaga is bound to be a bad fucking deal.
A plastic treestand.
I agree 100% with this. Tons of my friends rant and rave about how they went to the Cheesecake factory, Bravo, or places like that.
I went to the Cheesecake factory one time, and it was disgusting. Terrible service, dirty restaurant, bad food, dirty forks and glasses, overpriced.
The ones in other states are marginally better, but I still refuse to spend money at most chain restaurants.

I have a great mental picture of someone sitting in this tree stand, and then it cracking.
Mine would be my blazer. Again, for previous owner issues overlooked. I wanted one. I always wanted one. I found one close with “surface rust, no bondo” Hahaha… right. Needlesstosay, I am in the process of removing the bondo and PO’s welding skillz (z was necessary) so I can begin to replace everything that was already replaced once. Still should be a good truck in the end, and wasn’t too bad, just for the money I spent, I could have had a fairly complete, minimal rust one shipped from down south. Live and learn then learn to weld 
Getting rid of my grand prix, and buying my next 5 cars.
I would have banked so much money
I don’t really regret it, i would just have a lot more cash than i do now lol
wait, what?
Hah! It didn’t even make it that far. I shut the truck door on it and it cracked. I probably still could have used it, but I didn’t for obvious reasons. Not like I slammed the door or anything.
My jetta. Should of researched it more, didn’t realize til post purchase it was a whore with published stories about it.
So far 900 worth of repairs and still counting. When all said and done about 2k worth of work.
Damn right.
I’ve had 4 veichles since turning 16, 9 years ago. Two of them being brand spanking new. My truck payment is 380/month. I’ll probably stick with pre-leased trucks from now on.
I can’t think of any really bad purchases, I usually stress over things well enough before I buy them but I am sure there are a few bottles of jameson I probably shouldn’t have purchased ;).
I bought an ls1 without really looking into it and never actually did anything to it…I’d say that was the worse purchase. Or every eurotuner tuner I buy before I get a subscription lol.
Bravo is pretty good. Way better than OG. I don’t go there with super high expatations though. The cheesecake factory blows though. I feel like I’m eating in a giant mess hall
I sold my $500 '91 Accord winter beater (in 2001!) to buy an '87 Lesabre because I wanted a comfy boat to commute to college in. It took me about 2 months to grenade the transmission. I somehow got some idiot to pay me $350 for that pile- not running, bad transmission, 2 bald tires, and one mismatched door. I think he probably eventually regretted his purchase more than me.
