Whats the most you spent on junk?

I paid $4500 for what my dumbass at the time thought was a really nice 75’ V8 manual Jeep CJ5. When I went to go look at it, it was dark outside so I missed a crazy amount of mess on it. The body had more bondo than steel, and it had about 7 layers of paint over that. Not going to get into all of its problems because it would be a few pages. But yeah I definitely regret buying it. After driving it and repeatedly fixing the damned thing, and then almost getting killed by it, I cut my losses and sold it for $3200

Never again.
Jesus. I almost spent that much on a fast back mustang in the same condition as my valiant. Im happy to say i made the cheaper choice. The worst ive had to deal with is my ignition going out in traffic but then i got it home and tossed in an MSD. Glad my car hasnt tried to kill me. yet
