Share with us the DUMBEST thing you remember buying in you're adult life.

This thread asks you to share something you remember buying during your adult life that was the equal to a one hit wonder in the music industry. 

I was in my twenties and remember buying a "Hyper Color T Shirt" that was a plum colored purple shade and when you went out into direct sunlight it turned pink. Thinking back now it was the DUMBEST thing I ever bought, at the time I thought it was the coolest thing I ever bought!  

Look forward to reading others comments.

An engagement ring for my first wife.

A new Lincoln Town Car. I was still single then and just loved the car. I didnt have it done up like you see some dudes do. It was just a nice regular extremely large vehicle that was quite expensive. I just never needed all the size to it and after a while i noticed only old people and myself seemed to drive the thing. Dating in it was a little akward after a while too.

 Otherwise, a 10 year old 1979 Z28...........fun car, when it ran. Man, what a piece of junk.

Diamond stud earrings..... for myself. I was in my very early 20s and doing the cliche rapper/drug dealer thing. The funny thing is I was never that guy. The guy that wears adornments and shit but there was an image to portray.

That's an awesome purchase. I have a 79 but it's a LS-3 swap, which could also be looked at as dumb. I got a good deal on the LS-3 but the swap was still pretty damn expensive.

I had a 79 Trans Am.  The 79 Z-28 also had the 6.6L engine, correct?

Because of that engagement ring I never did the stupid purchase of a GMC motorhome in the late 90's.

Wanted to buy a 73-78 GMC and do a frame up restoration. 455 olds engine with a front wheel drive, same as the old tornados of the era.

Aluminum skin, air bag suspension. There was/is a cult following of these old motorhomes. They were ahead of their time in the 70's.

Test drove several, had the wife almost buying in!! Now glad she didn't!! Would have been a money pit, fun, but still a money pit.

I bought all the weekend picks of Jim Feist (TV handicapper) one weekend in October.

 Those are fucking sick. Knew a guy that had one that was mired in the 70s. No fancy resto but it was still fun to hang out in and do blow. I've seen a few here and there but never realized they had such a following.

Chose a Beta machine over a VHS machine when it all started. Easily over a grand. 1983 but I'm guessing at that.

Probably buying a 5yr insurance/extended warranty for a Compaq Presario laptop back in 2006 

Laptop cost over 900 and I wanted to get some kind of cover for it and the sales clerk talked me into buying the €360 5yr warranty which covered everything. Paid for the policy over 12 months at 30 a month and never had a problem with the computer once but still looking back  

The Christmas when they debuted, my parents got me the Sega Saturn instead of the Sony Playstation. The funny part is my dad swore by Sony products but he figured, "What does Sony know about making video games? Sega is a market leader." The next year they got me a playstation. My parents were/are awesome. I'd like to think i've been well worth their efforts. Between my siblings and I, they don't want for shit.

At 18 my dumbass spent $5400 on a 79 cutlass (in the early 90"s) bc the GF liked the sound system and tints ..

The system got stolen 3 weeks later , car was a money pit that got junked after  5 months  .GF left for a guy with a blazer that had  better beats 

Sick car ....

One of my favs of all time 

All that shit reminds me of youth. Cutties. T-type Regals, Rivis. Grand Nationals. Montes. All that shit seemed so fast when you're young and just getting used to driving but compared to cars these days that shit was so sloooooooow.
