A snowmobile for my wife. She used it once, just too cold, and she does not have the "need for speed"...
Name something that you never should have bought.

Bought a brand new chevy truck in 79. It was a c20 camper special with a 350 auto. What a POS, burnt oil like crazy, cab was loose. Sold it in 80 with 20k miles never missed it.
Did I learn my lesson about gm trucks...nope
Bought a k10 blazer new in 81 Silverado edition.
Cam wiped at about 50k differential bearings and side gears shortly after that. Among other stuff the whole time.
I would never own another gm product...ever

A 1981 lemans wagon.
Boy was that a mistake.
I didn't pay much for it but it sure was a lot of trouble.
Never had a GM since.

Probably a bunch of little stuff I don’t remember…..but the 1990 Jeep Wrangler I bought brand new was absolute junk. Not a month went by without a tow truck as a necessary accessory. Had it for 18 months and Chrysler bought it back under lemon law.
Where and how were you using it in AZ ? I had a 2000 XJ, Loved it ! 20 years of Buffalo winter cancer took it. Still ran great...

oh boy,
I had the extreme misfortune of buying a 1975 GL1000 Honda motorcycle. 8,000 miles and the clutch went out, then the rear differential, then hard starting below 60 degrees. this was 1977..
and, to make matters worse, I was 25 and was stupid enough before it all went bad to ask my brother for advice regarding a trade offer.1978, the guy offered an M1 copper 68 charger floor console car and a 750 ss super sport for the bike. My brother was a gold wing guy, and said that charger won't ever be worth much.
To this day, I am 70 and he is 80. I am still get pissed at him whenever I think about it.
Now today I am lucky enough to own two 68's, but After that episode I quit asking him for advice on ANYTHING!

I could go back and tell you about a few stock trades - some accidental - and some just plain bad trades. I'll briefly describe one. I was arbitraging - circling a couple of companies that were a pubic hair away from complete bankruptcy. If you make The right pick you cam make a few bucks. The tow on my radar screen were Wang Computers the other a little known company called Apple Computers. After much thought and surveying thrm both - I'll give you one guess which one I chose.
Wang was going to be my goldmine. Bought a couple thousand shares. The rest you can figure out for yourself. If there was any minuscule saving grace - I did wind up breaking even on the Wang purchase. But if I'd pushed the other button ........yeah

I've had more exercise moving treadmills and steppers up and down stairs than their intended use.
And yes, they make awesome clothes racks. The last one got dismembered so as to never make a comeback.
