I'd say your definition is aligned with most others, but the spectrum of what might merit regret is a bit broader than others. Nothing wrong with that at all. It just means your cautious calculated with the decisions you make. You measure and weigh risk. My husband does that also. Sometimes it can get him too worked up, but I'm there to help balance that out.

LOL! you nailed that on the head and my wife does the same for me.

04 STI short block
CP forged pistons/rings
ACL race bearings
Tomei head gaskets
shaved crank
new fuel pump
VF43 turbo
new oil pump
new water pump/timing kit
OBX turbo inlet
Thats what I've been up to for the last 3 weeks. The fuel pump and inlet arrive today, the turbo arrives on Wednesday. The motor is being dropped back in this weekend and hopefully running no later than Sunday. I've been nearly a month without it, but fortunate to have another car to drive. I cashed in two weeks paid vacation with my company to fund this in addition to having good parts to sell. I've only a week paid time off left for an entire year now and it will probably just be used to stay home in the event one of my kids get sick. I might regret it and I will likely become super burned out from not taking any time off, but the weight of the regret hopefully won't outweigh the benefit of NOT having to deal with issues anymore. It should be bulletproof after this. Next year, I will replace the clutch and have it pro tuned to really realize her.
I will revisit this thread in about 6-8 months and tell if you cashing 2/3 of my vacation was worth it, or if I regret it.

I'm coming out of something like that now. Due to the condition of the car, I've had to do the following to ensure its survival and make sure that I won't have problems in the future.
