A guy once said to me "you never regret buying a subaru only selling one" we all have that one car we wish we had hung on to well I know I do anyway. It was my 97 reg mitsubishi evo4! The second I drove it I had to have it at all costs. 5k it cost me and the minute I arrived back to wexford from Cork the downpipe blew away from the manifold but I didn't care. It wasn't the most reliable of cars as in I spent bucket loads of cash just maintaining it but no car has even come close to giving me the feeling it did when I put the foot down hard, it gave me butterflies every time I drove it for 2 years! Sadly the timing belt slipped and wrecked the cylinder head and being young and stupid I simply went out and bought a new evo4 rather than fixit but it wasn't the same. The old one sat outside my house injured for a year as I was gradually buying the bits and pieces to get her back on track but constant nagging from herself about costs mounting up and front garden looking like a scrapyard I reluctantly sent her on her way. Wasn't just how she drove though that made me love it. It thought me so much about fixing cars as it was cheaper to try it yourself haha.
I like my blob wrx but if somebody brought that evo back to me in the same injured condition I would swap for it in a heartbeat becausr love trumps like every day of the week.
So what's your regret, if any?
