I've never sold a vehicle and regretted it, but I've had a few that were wrecked that I miss:

I owned a late 80's Saab 900 Turbo Cab for about 3 days before I wrapped it around a tree at 80 mph. Unrecognizable after that. Wish I got more out of my $250 it cost me..

I went in with a buddy on an old Beetle that we bought from a guy for $100. Got it running pretty nicely, took it out on the sand dunes. 3 hours went by before we flipped it. It was so rusted, the body and pan sheared apart. The right front wheel ended up in the passenger windshield area.

I also helped a friend of mine prep an 86 Civic for the Rally America. He practiced with the car for a few months. Once of the few times I wasn't codriving, he wraps it around a tree at 70mph. This time, the passenger wheel came through the firewall and displaced the passenger seat. I was sad to see that car go...
