    Nor**** track treadmill, expensive piece of garbage, motor broke in 3 Months...(and the repair guy said, if you use it daily buy the extended warranty or it will happen again) And a dodge stratus, transmission went after 5 months.!!!!!

    A fancy video camera. It cost a fortune and turned out to be inferior to my 15 year old tape camcorder. It's only seen the light of day about 5 times in 4 years. Also really regretting buying a tub of double cream and clotted cream the other day, can't keep myself out of the fridge now.

    My husband's Maserati.

    It was cheap to buy second hand... until the transmission went. €5700 to repair it, just junked it instead.

    My Dad once said "A car is the worst investment you'll ever make". In my case, that would be the Ford Mustang I bought new in 1979. Sexy as hell, but turned out to be a deathmobile in the snow (heavy V-8 engine in the front, drive wheels in the back). It was junk after 3 years and less than 100K miles. Then I had a hard time selling it because gas prices had gone up and it had a 5.-liter engine.

    Still, I'd say the purchase I most regret was another type of investment. I invested $100K with a group that bought and sold ETFs (exchange-traded funds), changing the mix so frequently I figured they must have ADD. They quickly turned $100K into $50K.

    wedding ring -

    :laugh: You didn't say why Mike......

    Hmmm.......Nerf Rebelle...why? Because it's a piece of junk. I'll stick with nerf guns.

    was a mistake

    Oh Mike. Inquiring minds want to know more.

    For me... I'm thinking a huge lot of Barbies for $450. I'll find out tonight. Or in the next few months. Yes, I am an avid Barbie lover. There is one I know I want and 3 I know others will want. The rest I am hoping to sell for profit. Will see.

    I should not have bought one. Should have stayed single
