Default Ever thought twice about it?

I was doing some thinking and was thinking about my old F-Bodys and was wondering how many people out there like me got rid of one of their cars and then wished later on they would have keepen it. Not so much because you don't like your new one but just think you should have kept the old one.

It took less than a month and I hate myself for selling it.

I've bought and sold 17 cars in my life so far, and there are only two of them I'd like to have back. But both of those two are F-bodies.

I regret selling my 6spd TA in 06, so I got back into another one, only A4 (what I wanted to begin with) last year. Thought about selling it this year, but I keep talking myself out of it because it's been so reliable, and never had a problem. I know if I sell it, I will kick myself yet again. (Thinking partily because of gas prices, the fact I am still paying on this car, etc).

Hey now, I still have that FBody you guys "used to ******* own!!"

Atleast now, I will remember to hold onto it.

I would miss her as well.



EDIT:

The question should be, how many of you miss the LT1? :-)

It would have been cool if i could have kept the A4 after i bought the M6, but overall I'm happy. The A4 was t-boned and repaired, but was never the same again so it had to fuggin go.

I sold my first 02 SS for a bike, I regretted it even as I was dropping it off to the guy... less than 8 months later I got another 02 SS identical in every way, but bone stock just like the first one was when I bought it. I can't see myself ever parting with this one.

Sold my 600 horse, 63,000 mile SUPER CLEAN LT1 M6 to a buddy i work with. Bought my current T/A LS1, M6 couple days later. MY friend wrecked my LT1 car 3 weeks after he got it. Dropped the car down about a 100 foot fall into some trees!!!

I want my T/A back. I miss it so much, there is no replacement. But you live and you learn. From now on when I get a new car I am going to keep my others instead of selling them.

Just interested, but how many of yall took an oath not to sell it at one time or another, but ended up selling it anyway?

The reason I asked, is because I have Promised myself I would never sell my WS6, but I worry that feelings may fade over time.

My last car only had a lid, catback, and wheels but I still want to punch myself in the face everyday for selling it. I've got well over $10k in this car and I'm 99.9999% sure I'll never get rid of it...

i sold my first ss when i started a business because i didn't want a payment. i missed that car like you wouldn't believe, so i bought a couple but they were never the same...until one day i found the car in my sig... its exactly like my first one, except no hurst short throw, but that will go in soon enough! i miss my cbr, i miss 99 ss, i miss a couple of things iv'e sold, but i really felt empty when i got rid of my 02 ss. now, im happy tho.
