bought as an impulse buy as a desert toy, was going to fit a big v8 in there, turns out they changed the law in dubai so now i cant own it, cant sell it and cant change the engine and now have to pay a monthly fine for not being able to own and or register a car i cant drive. gotta fucking love dictatorships. 2 years later and i've paid more in fines than the fucking thing cost. all because its more than 20yrs old and i'm not a local
or this one which i destroyed in under a year. basically i'm a fuckwit when it comes to cars and offroading, its a disease i tell you.
You need to give it away to some local for a fucking blowjob. At least then you can stop paying the fines.

cant as it would legally still be mine and my responibility if he has any accidents etc plus all fines would still be mine and yes its fucking crazy how can i be liable for a car i cant legally own but cant legally deregister, sell or abandon.
however i have a plan i'm working on which means i might be able to register it as a classic car but they are still writing the law on that one so who knows.
fines arent too bad $150 a month or something so its worth hanging onto for now. still in retrospect a fucking stupid purchase
Only cost me $20, but I totally succumbed to the "mastah"
More under the category of stupid screwups costing me money..
3 months ago I went through two 50"+ plasma's in one day. A gorgeous SAMSUNG, and an LG. All because I refused to let my wife help me mount it 5" up on the wall. I was lifting it with one hand and the other trying to feed the HDMI cable into the hole in the wall, the thing just fell. Then I grab my home office one to use as a replacement, and somehow I dropped it carrying it up the stairs because I was so sweaty from the first fuckup.
Within 2 hours, 2 plasmas gone. Total loss, approx $4500

Burn it to the fucking ground.
Oh and my most ridiculous purchase is the 60k 22 foot wakeboard boat sitting in the driveway. We use it alot, but I should of bought used.
I bought over a year ago when I was 18 and stupid. I had around $20k in the bank just sitting there after 1.5 months of work or something and was too dumb to think of investing it or anything. Anyway, bought this baby (14k white gold, 7 diamonds, not sure how many carats they are). It was $3,200 I believe. Anyways, dumb purchase at the time. Don't really wear it, but I don't think I will ever sell it because it means to me the interwebz = money and when you work hard you can have whatever you want.

It's your totem.
my most ridiculous purchase? Lewis Black tickets.
I dated a girl who loved Lewis Black, so I bought tickets last minute for a few hundred bucks. Turns out I stepped on her BFF's toes because they always dreamed of seeing Lewis Black together. Not only was it a worthless and utterly unfunny show, she dumped me right afterwards.
fuck you Lewis Black!
(finally I get to say it!)

I raise you with my worst purchase. Paid $5,500 for it. 33 grams of 14k white gold and 4.65 Carats of diamonds. I don't wear it...
Damn, you got me beat. Did you have it custom made?
