Ever regret a vehicle purchase?

Tony's applied that motto to all areas of his life, but it originated from his dating life. Spec5Alive anyone? Where's the MS Paint pictures?

Come on now, she was a perfectly acceptable set of training wheels

I have always had a sick idea for one of these or a coupe to turn into a euro-tuner car. I still say they have nice lines.

I don't think those Escort wagons are that bad either. They have some limited potential to be cool. At least I think they do, I have yet to ever see one actually try to tap that potential.

It wasn't a terrible vehicle, but I hated the looks of it. Not convinced they could be made "cool" without MAJOR work.

This appears to be a European version. Body is slightly different:


IDK.. I'm not convinced.

Sounds like my dating life

Not yet. My motto is buy low, expect low.

The SR5 has never been desirable. The GT-S was always the one to have.

Oh, I know this. But the sr5 can be converted into a gt-s and that swap is becoming more popular due to the lack of clean gt-s'. But I agree, the gt-s and 4age are much more awesome! I personally like the Levin gt-apex. A 20v swap with itb's would be nice too.

I went from a reliable POS 1981 Toyota Corolla hatch to a unreliable POS 1985 Cherokee with the shitty 2.8 chevy engine. It was a nightmare.

Lol.. I have two good ones, both of which I was happy to see go. But in both situations I didn't have many options and needed something right away, for cheap.

Worst: 1993 Ford Escort Wagon bought used in 1995.
I had recently gotten married to my first wife, and she got pregnant. Needed to buy something quick and cheap. I drove that thing until it died, and let my apartment complex have it towed away. I had that bastard for about 6-7 years though, and beat the hell out of it.

Looked like this, but in Teal:

I guess I've been pretty lucky, I've been extremely happy with every vehicle that I've owned, each one was what I needed at that time in my life. The '98 GT gave me the most challenges, but like Eric and his SVO, I learned a lot, and wasted a lot of money, but that's all part of the hobby.

Yes, it's our current 2006 Ford Five Hundred. Over all it's a pretty good car...after replacing the valve body, electronic throttle body and chasing an electrical issue. I'm pretty sure the Ford dealer knew of the issues when they sold it. I traded in our 2007 Expedition EL for this to save gas and lower our debt but had to spend at least another 3K just fixing the problems.
