What is the worst purchase that you've ever made

worse purchase, a lap dance.

i’ve only bought myself a handfull,but you leave hornier than you go in there and you don’t got shit to show for it besides a snail trail

I paid 2100. After putting 9 hours on it I threw a rod through the crankcase. The rebuild cost me 1500 by the time I was done. I put 10 more hours on it. I seized a crank bearing (my fault). Rebuild cost $600.

I guess I did obtain quite a bit of mechanical knowledge through working on it though…

I love this thread. I thought I was the only one who has bought shit they later regretted and lost money on. Keep it coming, its making me feel better.

Ridiculous amounts of snowboard gear…

EDIT: OOH, lots of blue neons for my first car… 1995 saturn!

My second tractor - a 1953 Allis-Chalmers WD45. I bought it at auction for $1700 in the fall of ‘08 because I needed something for snow removal right now. It worked OK, but I think it had a burnt valve(s) and the fuel line liked to freeze half way through plowing the (650’ long) driveway.
It worked out in the end though. In the spring of '09, Java Farm Supply gave me $2000 for it on trade of a one owner 1971 Massey Ferguson 165 which kicks ass. The more I run it, the more I love it. Now I have a front loader and a 7 foot snowblower. Fuck the snow

WAIT SOUTHTOWNS YOU HAVE A SNOW TRACTOR? I HAD NO IDEA!

tons of recording equiptment only to have the business side of the venture fall thru. Never partner with anyone.

I ended up with 10g worth of recording equiptment, that I couldnt sell for 3500$

lol

The snowcats were some of the best purchases I’ve ever made

I’ll raise you the $40,000 my buddies boss spent on us at The Hard Rock this summer to celebrate a contract he got for the company that ended up falling through. Worst day after of my life. Worst weekend spending of his.

:bigclap:

i’m sure there are a lot of drinks i should have passed on.

4 rounds of patron for a bunch of people at some club i cant remember in… one of the main hotels… after a bottle of rumplemintz.

although it made for a great story when i apparently took a nap in the bushes in front of Caesar’s…

MAZAK CNC Lathe. Spent $250,000. Owned it for 60 months and spent $60,000 in repairs. Biggest POS ever.

Wait, you weren’t talking about the departed scene? You were just being a dick?
“That’s not a guy you can’t hit, but it’s almost a guy you can’t hit”

This is probably the funniest post in the whole thread. It’s such a small thing, so specific, and pretty long ago. I love it.

This is the first I’ve heard of you disliking your car. I think it’s fucking hot as shit.

I’m trying to think of my worst decision. Probably EVERY car I’ve ever bought. Only because I could totally be driving a Ferrari right now if I had just driven an average car for the past 5 years.
