One time bought a brand new $90,000 sports car when I was making really good money

After a few years the same car was worth $40,000 when I wanted to sell it (and like $35k trade in). Realized what a colossal waste of money it was and was not worth it

As a former M3 owner, I don't regret any bit of owning that amazing machine.   M3s are fucking awesome cars.   I rate the 911 higher, but after that I'm an M car man.

A stupid couch.  It was really expensive, so we hoped that meant it would actually be durable and last a long time.  It was worse than the cheap couch it replaced.

Night vision. I only spent $1500 on some gen 3 autogated pvs-7s, and they got old fast. Not really sure what they’re worth and don’t want to get scammed trying to sell them.

Regret.

My first house.  $205k.

Second on the list was out of state grad school.  $187k

Third was a fully build massage chair.  $2500

So I guess I'm getting better - as along as the new $20k motor holds up.

New Navigatpr 72k wife bought it  30 900 dollar payments left and it has 118k

Pretty much an expense for business travel though

I would have bought a lightly used Explorer for 3/5 the price

Bass boat paid $13K. I pulled in my circle driveway and the boat clipped a tree causing $3500 in damage. I had owned it about an hour. I sold it years later for $1500.

Nice. I have a Comp M4 now, don't regret it one bit :)

I'll contribute now though with: Lexus RC series coupe. Looked great, sounded great, but man was it a pig compared to its peers.

Although I spent way less on the divorce.  That part was pretty quick and easy.

A 2016 leased Cadillac ATS for $48K. It was doable and fun when I had an apartment, but substantially less so when I took on a mortgage. To top it all off, GM Financial shoved a big one up my bum with the fees after I returned it. Now that I've checked the "new car experience" off my bucket list, it's strictly 100% used for me from here on out.
