A 1988 Corolla for my father-in-law. My wife and I were taking care of her parents and trying to protect them from themselves, so we had control of their finances. However, after his van blew up and she refused to let him use her car even though she never had a driver's license in her life, they were on us to get him a car of his own ASAP. The thing had a bad alternator and muffler but those were easily and cheaply fixed. However it turned out to have enough frame rot that it'd never pass a state inspection anyways.

iPod. I needed a new music player (those of you who read my questions will know my old one was on it's way out, having been dropped in numerous baths, swimming pool and being trodden on several times!) iPods (I have a video one) are the biggest load of rubbish ever, and I should have saved my money.

Back in 1973 I bought a brand new Chevy Vega Kammback wagon. The thing burned oil and backfired from day one. The engine kept running even after shutting it off...I had to kill it by letting out the clutch. The car was in the shop so often, I probably spent more on repair bills than I did on the retail price. At least it was fun to drive, if you didn't go uphill or very far. swabby

Prior to moving into our new home, I purchased a door alarm that hangs from the knob to put on the backdoor as I have a pool and two small children. Not only was it LOUD as hell, it would go off intermittently when no one was even NEAR the door. That thing lasted 2 days in my house and is now sitting in the junk drawer.
