I regret taking my car to a certain shop in El Monte...

I also regret trying to retrofit my 97' taillights as I left one unattended in the oven for 45 minutes =/

Other than that I couldnt be happier with the color/drivetrain combo

I regret not waiting to buy my SC and spending too much on a 92 in the first place. I also regret buying the AC kit , when i could have just waited for shine to produce their copy.

I regret buying an automatic SC, but I definitely DO NOT regret buying it for the price I got it for! Oh yeah, I also regret not turboing my car yet! I feel left out here!

Man I think you have OCD or something. There is no way you anyone can keep a car's interior the way it rolled off the assembly line.

But I did think you paid a bit way too much for ONE needle when you could have just done the whole thing or swap out a different one

At least you guys don't have to worry about VVT-i on every engine mod you consider.

I regret paying as much as I did for my SC. Other than that, I regret nothing - I'm in love with my Carmen.

I regret rolling my fenders and not cutting them.....


I also regret not driving out to La Puente an hour earlier last week for a 92 SC w blk interior running for $1500. By the time I got there (1.5 hour drive) it just sold.

Would have been a perfect car for me because I have a DWP and so was that. I wanted to swap interiors (it was complete and minty), swap fenders (cut them this time), amd swap trunk lids. All it needed was tires (which I had my stockers w/ new michalins on them).....

Missing that deal really sucked.
