This one isn't a mistake, just thought you'd get a kick out of it. So, before I got the FR-S knew literally nothing about cars, liked them more than the average 'appliance' driver maybe, but mechanical knowledge was non-existent. First time I take a wheel off (flat tire) it took me a minute or so to realize the difference between an alloy wheel and steel wheels because I couldn't figure out where my hubcap was after I unbolted the wheel. My mazda had alloy wheels, and thus no hubcaps.


As for an actual mistake, I sold said mazda to my uncle, on credit (payments) for $200 less than my asking price because he needed a car and my dad said I should do it. We had a buyer willing to pay $3k for it, but when my parents took it to the court house for inspection it decided not to start and the buyer walked away. There was literally noting wrong with it. We had it towed to the mechanic and he was able to start and drive it the next day.


Anyways, sold it to my uncle for $2800, $200 a month payments. Took him over two years for him to pay me completely. I just received the last payment last month.
