My answer would be my motorcycle. I bought it to get around in grad school, and loved it, but once I moved to a downtown apartment with no parking it was a definite "ball-and-chain".

1986 Ford Mustang GT.  For some forgotten reason, we bought a red Mustang GT with "T Tops".  Fun until winter arrived. It was stolen that next spring along with our golf clubs (in the trunk).  Never missed it.

My Nissan Altima.  I bought it for myself as a 30th birthday present (2003) and finally got rid of it last Tuesday.  It had 207,000 miles on it.  I have a minivan now. :)

I thought of the same thing when I read the topic title.

I can't think of anything I was excited to get and excited to get rid of. Maybe student loans? Or my home loan (just a few more years!)? But those aren't more about GETTING the loan, it's more about what you get WITH the loan.

There are tons of people who worked hard and sacrificed much to get that highly sought after, tough to get job, only to find out it really wasn't for them, switch careers, usually happier.

That was my first thought, except without the just kidding part.

Besides my first wife, would say second home that I owned.  Turned into a real downer when the city sold out, and let the greenbelt behind that house be developed into a subdivision.  

Thought would be my last house with the quiet and view and suddenly had a few of fenced and the top of other houses.

In my bag: Lazrus everything with R flex

Driver, 3 wood, 4,5 and 6 hybrid 

7-pw, gw,lw and mallet putter

Just married my wife and I purchased an Audi Fox when it was first sold in the US.  It was a total hodgepodge of mostly Volkswagen parts that was the worst car I have ever owned.  Expensive to maintain, always in the shop, and had a ventura in the carburetor that was screwed in and would fall off allowing gas to pour into the engine as you were driving.  One of many problems.

Toss me in that camp.

My wifes Range Rover is upt there too. You do not want to own an Audi or other European car. After three years the mechanical bills will like up even for dumb stuff like brakes and air struts. Want a european car, lease it.

A few things - a motorcycle, a tent (then a camper), a couple of cars and a few girlfriends.
Golf-wise my laser range finder, my last pair of real spikes, most of the shirts & hats with course logos.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
