Ever Regret not buying a Car?
We have the post about (Ever regret selling one) But what about not buying one. I have two. First one- 1976, had a 72 240Z, found out about a gentleman in Cal. that was building V-8 powered Z-cars (Brain Morrow, Scarab). Well I wanted mine to be one of those. Talked with the bank, (my loan officer, at one time sold Tigers) so he was on board, except the Wife, couldn't see me spending $11,500, on my $4000 car, I would still own that car, (no longer have that wife  Mine was to be a 302DZ motor with alum case 4-speed, rather then a 327, iron 4-speed. #2- 1980 Was looking for a nice Tiger (spent my 2-week vacation driving up & down the west coast) Way before the internet  Nothing, so a friend call's me about a "Shelby" a friend of a friend passed away, and his wife was selling his collection. Well "Pictures of a Cobra" danced in my head. She wanted $5000 Cash. Went to go see this "Shelby" there was a 66 GTO, 67 GTX, 340 Cuda, and a few more. Sitting there was a 65 GT-350, very nice driver and I, like a fool walked away (still wanted a Tiger), as you can tell I still regret it. I would still have that car too. There you go guy's my mistakes, and you?
