Past Mistakes...

So...I was reminiscing with Shane earlier about cars of the past. What is everyone's biggest car mistake...whether it was just a mod that you regreted or a whole car buying situation...lets hear them. Share your mistakes so maybe you can help others not make the same ones...here's one of mine:

My 95 Accord was a really Nice car...didn't look too bad to me at the time, but I was young and it was RICE...here were the "specs"

4 Door
Automatic
Clear Cornered
Clear Bumper lights
Washer Lights
Neons inside
Strobe lights behind the guages and under the seats
8" Tube Bass Speaker that sat in the back between where the 2 front seats met holding it in place... 8" round by 15" LONG HAHA...
18 ICW "Racing" wheels (no 18's should be called "Racing")
stock ride hight (looked like a 4X4 with the 18's)
No Engine work or even an exhaust

No wonder it was "fast" (was to me)...each of those things added at least 5hp. That means it had about 190hp...HAHAHA

^now that shits hot. cant go wrong w/ neons. eyy.... paul walker likes em.

Probably my biggest failure on my previous cars is not trying hard enough to fix them on my own. I am on my 9th car and I'm only 21. I'll buy a project car, keep it for a while, allow my mind to become overwhelmed with the problems and rather than save my money and fix it, I usually resort to selling it and buying another beater. I gotta do everything in my power to stay with my current combo of vehicles and try to fix the Supra up as best as I can instead of hocking it off and buying another junker.

Wow...

yeah so........to finish her story.....said nascar mechanic destroyed her civic in the process of trying to fix his like the spark plugs, exhaust manifold, dizzy, and some other various components ,rendering it useless.
on the good side, i got the 5pd out of it. so yeah i figure he ripped her y7 apart to utilize the said parts on his "h22 with a y8 harness"' hence why it didn't work . he was a douche bag.

as for my past mistakes........

"jdm" fender blinkers or something like that.
custom clear head lights (used a blow dryer and putty knife)
huge 747 spoiler
and gen1 clear tail lights , the all clear ones.
that's about all i can think of ........i wasn't into neons and shit of the sort.

My past regrets would be wrecking my first hatch......damn that car would be so beautiful.....

4 door automatic civic lx.
Fake hood scoops you stick on from kmart automotive section.
A neon skull cigarette lighter thing.
Pulsating neon cd player outline.
The biggest mistake however was thinking it was pretty quick.
Luckily I never got a autozone muffler...i kept the quiet moped sized exhaust.
Oh and the seat covers that said type r and a subwoofer, and sub box, but no amp...it wasnt ever hooked up in that car.

Then I got the integra and it had a bunch of stupid stuff on it that I added to. Then when I got a little older I realized that, Wow, My car looked gay. So I replaced the tail lights that were on it when I got it, took off the metallic blue wipers, took the green neon out of the trunk, took the mesh grill of the front, put on amber corners, replaced the interior pieces, got a nice looking muffler, and lowered it.

hmm my 92 pontiac grand am, with 2 10" baja speakers, a gay automatic shifty nob thing, blue neon light for the subs and a neon light rop that went around my dash. haha i thought i was cool. i really wanted a stick thought so i bought the beautiful hatch!! mmmm mmmmm good

hey now....lets not hate on all the white boys.....i am VERY proud to say that i have never owned a cool neon rice boy car. I almost bought a body kit for my first civic way back in the day....but i learned and didnt....kept it clean

my biggest mistake.......wrecking the hatch, rebuilding said hatch and then giving it the krylon touch and fucking up a factory medori green pearl paint job. one day it will be green again. oh and i had the letters MXBOOST for a license plate in north dakota, cause i was a fan of Max Boost from import tuner. i caught alot of shit for the plate because people thought the car was boosted till it didn't go like it was boosted.

haha my mistake was my 96 honda civic ex first off it was an auto, had a nice big body kit, spent 2k on the paint job that turned out shitty after couple of months, BIG watermelon shootin exhaust, neons on the inside and outised. ya deff not a good idea haha

haha.....i remember that civic.....i told you not to do it....lets hear it matt.....just say it....

ya ya i know u told me not to i made a mistake its ok its some one else problem now i have my integra now:)......an here ya go just for u brandon.... BRANDON WAS RIGHT I WAS WRONG

My biggest past mistake was getting into imports. All they do is drain your money. It takes so much money to make them fast.

that is true but in the end u can spend less money buyin a honda an droppin 5k in it spendin around 10-15k when ur done an be faster then most v8's that r stock an cost more then 20k lol
