    do ex gf's count as otherwise??

    but i'd say my biggest carpc mistake was right when vga screens were getting popular and cheaper.. I got a composite screen and also cheaped out and got another fm modulator.. then 3 months later just got a new HU and a vga screen

    CarPC wise:
    Starting the CarPC project, scrapping it, selling all the parts for it, then restarting it

    Life wise:
    Buying a 2002 Jeep Liberty, then getting rid of it 2-3 weeks later b/c I really didn't like it...Kind of still paying for that mistake...

    My biggest mistake was that I fried my DWW-7VGA and cracked the touchscreen panel all in the same week.
    EPIA 800, DWW-7VGA LCD w/Touchscreen, 256mb ram, dvd rom, ati radeon 7000 video card, 80 gb 3.5" hard drive.

    Bought one of thoes 250$ kiosk pc's with the 12" touchscreen, then had it by a speaker for three months. Now it is all purple tinted.

    Oh, and dropped a capaciter off a crappy video card onto a 90$ mobo, frying it. That was before my current 2.4ghz.

    Just a shame I can't justify a carpc to use it on anymore.

    My most expensive mistake was finding this website, and getting into the whole thing to begin with!

    Call a sex line with my cousin because we had nothing to do (the commercial said first ten minutes where free) than we started making fun of the girls and got kicked off like ten times. Than three weeks later my brother knocks at my door and asks me to see something, its the telephone bill, it was 500 something bucks of sex calls. He told me to go explain to my mom and she started screaming like I never heard before. Eventually I had to pay back.

    It wasnt my biggest mistake, I made so much I cant remeber. Prank calls was a big part of my adolescence. Anyways, I have some that I recorded to my pc if anyone wants to hear some like telling people I want to kill them and stuff or calling the police and making fun of them(I think I have only one in english, but I have a lot of french ones if anybody wants some)
