Default Most regrettable purchase for your car

Whats the most regrettable purchase you've made for your car? For me...it would probably be a cheap ass Pep Boys cd player I bought back when I first got my car. It only lasted 2 weeks before dying on me and then I went out and bought an Alpine unit. I'll never buy junk stuff again. headshake.gif

i don't think any purchase was regrettable, it was a service. Meineke f***** me over bad. my exhaust system cost me over $2,000 and a PITA. instead, i could have gone to a TIG weld shop i just now found, and have had professional people work on it.

as far as regrets go. sometimes i regret not supercharging instead of totally changing the car's appearance. i think that would have cost less, but it wouldn't have been as reliable.

The aluminum spoiler I bought 4 years ago. After a year I realized how stupid it looked and removed it.
