Ever bought a girl a diamond ring and got dumped? The Ron Popeel pocket fisherman? Ten gallons of Oxyclean? The "Tornado" intake dohickey? A pair of Purple and Green Zubaz?

Sound off!!!


For me these three rank at the top....

2004 Minnesota Golden Gopher Basketball Season Tickets
Jacobs aftermarket ignition system
Milli Vanilli CD

Umm lets see...

The most recent has to be the SMC Barricade wireless router I bought. That is the biggest piece of junk ever. It was replaced with a Zyxel and I've been much happier.

In my younger days, I've definately bought some crappy tools. I might as well driven my car over whatever it was I was working on. It probably would have done a better job. I only buy good quality tools now.

A few CDs that were so bad, I'm embarassed to even say I have a copy.

My Nokia hands-free ear bud piece for my cell phone. I loved it till it crapped out 5 months after I bought it. Now it lies dead on my desk at work.

My Stratos Helix Pro DH rear shock for my downhill rig. What a gong show that's been from day one. Needless to say, my Stratos days are over.

Every dollar I've ever given to the Nissan service department. It only took a few visits to convince me that I needed to learn how to fix my own cars, cause they sure couldn't.

Every speeding ticket and parking ticket I've ever paid (especially the lone multi-nova I got when then first put that in Calgary. Back then, I didn't know how they worked. Now I do, and if I had just slowed down when I saw it at the side of the road....)

Having anything shipped to Canada from the US using UPS. Bunch of thieving bastards.

50 dollars in ebay stuff 5 years ago that never showed up, i didnt really care, then 3 years ago i got a letter from the FBI and Michigan State Government wanting me to fly to Michigan and testify against the guy. Everyone is saying what they gave girls, well i let one borrow my favorite guitar and then we started hating each other. Now i am minus 1 guitar. I also own(ed) a few cds that i was too embarassed to even sell so i just threw them out. Im also about to spend 500 dollars to get a spider crack on my back bumper fixed after i tapped my SUV coming out the garage, worst thing ever therefore making it worst money even spent by me.
