It wasn't a car, it was a Gibson SG that I bought when I was 16. I had it on layaway at the original George's Music location and I would come in every day to play it. I'd put $50 per week down on it. When I was up to $600, George himself told me that I could take it home even though I still owed another $650 on it. He said I deserved the instrument and he wanted me to have it.

2 years later, I sold it for $400 cash because I was a stupid kid and needed the money to pay my insurance premium.

I regret it every time I think about it.

Centrally located in North East Central Pa.

'79 Lincoln Continental, 460 cu.in., every option including leather that my grandfather bought new. I bought it from him for $100, in about 1990 with about 70K on the odo, while I was attending UConn. I pulled both mufflers (inline) off and ran a single open pipe just behind the cat. The thing sounded like, and went like, a beast when the pedal was to the firewall but for obvious reasons wouldn't scream "Pull me over, it was me!"

Yale Bowl 1991 (the UConn vs. Yale football game was a storied tradition back in the day) -needless to say the Lincoln made the trip, epically large trunk filled to the top with cases of beer, five college buddies and I made the trek and conquered "The Hill" between the upper and lower lots (a feat generally reserved for trucks and vans). While the plan was to stay overnight since driving would have been out of the question, I did get the bright idea to move to a different spot later in the day and that space between another car and a tree looked a lot bigger. I cleared the car but the tree caught the front edge of the fender and folded the bumper into the fender, buckling it into the front tire. I was disgusted with myself and used the excuse that I couldn't afford to feed it to buy a Subaru Loyale wagon and sold the old Lincoln for $500 to a family friend whose car was totaled through no fault of his own. Even though there was no way I could keep it at my parents' while fixing it back up, I will always regret that sale.


This is its car is identical, including the almost-browned meat color.

Proof that American car designers gave up in the 70's and 80's

Well, I used to have an original '65 Fender Jaguar and a Deluxe Reverb amp of the same age. Played through high school, held onto it until 30-somethingness, and then sold them.

Ah, the fun an foolishness of being young

Not really regret selling this, but we once owned an 81 TD that had 370k miles on the odometer. It was a good beater car and sometimes I still wonder where that car went, who owns it now, or if it was sent overseas.



Replaced it with the '90 300TE that did not need as much repairs as the TD did.



You can probably tell why there's no regret

1972 MGB that I drove in high school. It was trashed when I got it - blown engine, dents all around, lousy body work. My neighbor at the time was a true master mechanic. He replaced the entire right rear quarter panel with a junk yard piece from an older B. When it was finished, you would never know anything was wrong, except it only had one back-up light. The replacement quarter panel was from before the days of back-up lights. It was a subtle thing, but kind of freaky looking once you noticed it. As rough as it was when I got it, that car was completely straight, and the engine that my neighbor rebuilt for me ran as well as any B I've seen. That B was one-of-a-kind. I wonder whether it's still on the road.

3 cars:
1. 1969 Z28, with the beautiful screaming 302, factory holley, etc.
2. 1971 Challenger R/T S/E 440 six pack four speed...the purple beast
3. 68 Jaguar XKE FHC. 4.2 with three SUs, I think the only year they did that. scary fast on the tope end, esp on those tiny tires
2 bikes
1. Moto Guzzi Eldorado, old and cobby, but riding it made you feel like you were on your way to meet Bob Dylan to jam at a coffee shop
2. 74 HD FLH, last year of the 74 cu in. sorta cobby, but sounded lovely with the straight pipes with fishtails that ended right at the rear fender. It used to set off car alarms when it rapped up in second gear...lol
1 house
569 Middle Drive, Woodruff Place, Indy. A wonderful original Victorian, in the heart of the coolest neighborhood in the world (Woodruff Place). I will aways miss that house and that lovely little village surroiunded by Indy.

I bought a 2006 ML350 CPO. It was a pile and I was lucky I got out of it with my shirt still on. That was a MAJOR regret. The last auto regret was a 1994 Mitsubishi Diamante. My wife had just opened a new business and we felt she needed something a little more flashy than an old beat up car. In her line of work, it was of major importance you didn't pull up to meet the clients in a huge pile of garbage, or so we THOUGHT. That car, while very nice, broke us and almost put us out of business before we got started. We ended up with 2 Caravans that we badly needed to transport goods for the business. Now we use my truck with covered trailer and her ML.

Hey now, I loved that car!

My tale of woe is short.

I prematurely bought a new MB diesel in '99. - Not only did I foolishly pay the new MB price, thereby taking a violent depreciation beating - I sold my trusty '83 300SD with a youthful 305K miles, that was running primo at the time.

Never AGAIN buy a new MB. Wait, and buy 'em 3+ years old to the price point you can afford to pay.

To each his own

my dad had one of these.. Banana yellow is all I remember.
