    BMW 528i

    If you think bikes are an expensive hobby, buy a German car...

    gotta say, I've never had a problem with any of the three bmw's I've had, my audi on the other hand... :grumble:

    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.

    Not so much I bought but something I wanted so much......and got for my birthday one year. A Kitchenaid mixer. The big one..

    I barely use it and pull out my little Sunbeam hand mixer for everything! :drinker:

    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
