I kinda regret getting rid of my Contour, due moreso to the memories associated with it rather than the car itself (though I do miss the car!).
One possession I regret getting rid of the most was my Colecovision console and games - although that was by no means my choice (I was 12 and parents donated it very much against my will). And my SCSI cable for the old Mac's external hard drive. Though I can repurchase both for under $200 so it's not necessarily a legitimate regret, just difficult paying good money for stuff you knew you had before.

I miss my IS300 the most. At times I wish I hadn't sold it. But I really wish I had bought the Stratus I leased. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a great car. It was just cheap reliable transportation for many years that would allow me a toy car or no payments for a long time.

No regrets here. Maybe not pulling the trigger on buying certain cars but good things come to those who wait.

I sort of regret selling all my XR4Ti's. So much fun for so little money.

I don't have any regrets as i have only owned/driven 4 cars to date:
1984 Buick Century Ltd (blew motor 2 months after getting it...it was rusted out and i got it free)
1981 Ford Fairmont (Had ~80k original miles but the body was rusted and the I-6 leaked oil bad. I bought a parts car for $25 and made $400 off it on Ebay and then sold my Fairmont for $100. I saw it two weeks later and then never again)
And then my two Contours. When i was looking for an SVT last fall/winter/spring, there was a 2000 black CSVT that i found. Had low miles, nice pearl blue stripe painted on fresh black paint, but had a salvage title and SE grille. I ALMOST bought it, but my intuition told me to wait...as much as i wanted that car!! A month later i found my silver one and now i have a FULLY documented CSVT  Sometimes patience is a virtue, but occasionally i look back on the one pic i took of the black car and kinda wish i woulda gotten it anyways.
A Contour is not just a car, it's an experience

no real regrets here, ive sold all my vehicles (except for two) for rather high prices. which definitely helps in the no-regrets category.  at first i regretted selling my tour but now my buddy (who bought it) is starting to have issues with various little things on it.  not to mention i dont really miss the ultra-stiff ride. but i do miss the how light it was and how fun it was to f*ck around with without using $100 worth of gas.  never got the chance to take it out on a road course which i REALLy regret
