Lets see. 1.I bought a body kit form a friend but never put it on and sold it. 2.I hit a Trailblazer right behind the drivers door doing about 50mph. ($6,700) damage. Insurace fixed it and i had the side skirts painted and had a Si front lips put on. 3.Hit a deer doing 55mph ($2,600) damage. Insurance fix it again. Had to replace the hood, bumper, Si lip, headlights and drivers fender again.
I still have the front bumper and the lip. Bumper needs repainted. I dont think its even cracked anywhere just missing the H in the grill. Im not sure why the even replaced it but i dont care. lol

this'll be a long list
1) spending $485 on a fiberglass body kit
2) spending $150 on fibergass z3 fenders
3) driving around for 3 months with an upainted white kit and unpainted green fenders
4) spray-painting the body kit and fenders black
5) spending $160 on projector headlights (I'm not saying I don't love them, but that money could've been spent better elsewhere)
6) getting curb marks on my 17's two days after I got them... damn ******* that ran me off the road [:@]
7) Getting dual exhausts to match my kit
8) Being too lazy to take the duals off right away when I pulled the kit
9) Trimming my stock rear bumper to fit dual exhausts
10) Driving around with a stock-bodied civic with duals
11) The bright blue interior
12) Spending $90 on a 3D aluminum guage bezel
13) Spending $90 on fake aluminum interior trim
14) Buying aluminum pedal covers
15) The two sets of underligths I went through
16) Driving around with a fartpipe on stock tubing (and I still am
)
17) Doing a s***ty tint job on the rear windows
18) Not doing rust repair as soon as I noticed my rust spots... which are now terribly rusted to the point that I had to zip-tie the sides of the rear bumper to the car
19) Ripping off my side moulding because I wanted to shave the mouldings... never really got around to actually shaving them
20) Spending $40 on a ricer light display (narrow-band air/fuel), $30 on a voltmeter, and $30 on a double-guage pillar pod
21) Wrecking it three times (me having too much fun and/or driving too fast all three times)
22) Cracking my ABS mugen-style front lip three times (same spot), supergluing it (and partially melting the plastic back together) each time, and finally shattering it.
23) Spending $90 on a rear lip that I didn't really need
24) Selling my almost-new DNX muffler (one from the duals) for like $30 when I paid $85 for it
25) selling a perfectly good set of streetglow underlights for $50
26) Doing donuts for 15 minutes until the cops showed up... ended up getting hit with a $107 careless driving fine
27) all the half-assed projects I started with the car and never finished
28) Not keeping half my stock parts (muffler, exhaust manifold, shift ****, etc)... now when I go to trade my car in, it won't be 100% stock, so I'm not going to get as much for it
29) Modifying an automatic
That's all I can think of right now
Hopefully I'll do a little better on the Integra if I get it [8D]
(by the way, if you do the math, that's just under $1200 I wasted on the car in things I can think of... I'm sure there's another $500 or so in things that I can't think of off-hand)

Cheap a$$ paint job with no clear coat. I was so naive at 19. What's worse, a year later I learned of this place in Tijuana that paints cars for half the price and I've seen their work years later holding strong.

Luckily I found out about autox fairly soon after I got my car but somhow I managed to do a few dumb things...
- red spinner hub caps(more for fun than serious but still...)
- clear corners
- red neons under dash
- wal mart pedal covers and shift ****
I'm so glad I found racing as soon as I did, who knows what else I would have done...

It's only 29 things
At least it only took me a year of being stupid to realize I was being stupid and clean up the car. Learned my lesson, anyway
But in retrospect, if I started the car over again, it'd have been swapped to a manual first off, the z6 would've been built and cammed, it would've been boosted (GT3076r... none of this weak t3/t4 crap), had a fully built suspension (instead of just coilovers and a useless 2pt strut tower brace), and had a full interior (corbeau seats, harnesses, cage, etc).
