My negative purchases were two cars my wife wanted and a GMC Jimmy that I wanted.

1. 1975 Chevy Vega GT wagon. This was a good looking car but basically a piece of junk, brought it new for $4K and sold it a year later for $3K.

2. 1969 Volkswagon bug, brought it used in 1974, the wife wanted it, as it was a stick shift automatic. Paid about $1300 replaced the transaxle and sold it for $1000, kept it about 6 months. Then we got the Vega.

3. I brought a used 1983 GMC Jimmy. I kept this for about three years and used it to pull the ski boat. I had to replace the camshaft and when I traded it, the front main seal was leaking.

My favorite all time was my second, car a 1963 white Chevy super sport with red interior. It was a good chick car. I brought it the summer before my sophomore year in college.
