I regret that I chose to turbo my sc300 instead of swapping in a GTE everytime I have to change my sparkplugs.

I regret getting impatient and buying my car. I should have just continued to wait for a black on black to be for sale.

#1 regret will be an a/t v8 instead of a m/t. Imagine Hussain Bolt running at a constant speed sprinter 100meter dash. Sprinter as fun to watch once u see them change gear on their own and see the difference in motion. An a/t sports car is design for handicap. Car designer should not even design a mean looking car that turns people's head and shifts automatically. Yikes! Turn off! no different from a bad breath.

Be fair, make some production for both regular car riders and enthusiast. A 75-25 ratio is good to cover the production cost.

Regret hurts! lol. I still love my sc400. It's a nice looking car and reliable.

I regret going NA-T instead of GTE. Maybe that wouldn't be the case if I go AEM. Or maybe I'll R154 the SC4 and put a wee bit of supercharged boost to it...

Oh TRUST ME, you would regret buying a Land Rover... Those things are the biggest pieces of crap on the road. I used to work for a Land Rover dealership and the same customers would be back 2-4 times a month for either the same problem or a new one. Every tech there even said they're the worst things on the road. One of my best friends has an '03 Range Rover and so far he's had to put over $10,000 into repairs from 05-now (and no, it's not just his that's like that). STAY AWAY!

hmmmmm, where to start, i regret getting the origin front and sides when i couldve gotten the 97 up conversion cheaper, i also regret not getting hood pins for my carbon fiber hood that flew off the same month that i bought it, i regret curbing my ssr strusse agile 19s after i refinished the lip, i regret not flushing my trans fluid earlier, which might have prevented my auto from being on the verge of crapping out on me, but ill never regret buying my sc, with all the problems and money pit quality's that she possesses, i wouldnt trade her in for the world

I regret not shopping around more for an SC. the first sc that became available i nabbed. she's a 93 SC400. 4,500 with 150k on it....eh, she's reliable as the sun rise nor would i trade her for the world. : )

but yeah with that said as happy as i am now with it, i would have preferred to get this attached to a 5 speed sc3. = ]

I regret putting my old body parts on the shelves in my garage. One of my old fenders just fell on my new one and dented the ****** out of it.
