Don't feel bad, it happens to the best of us all at one time or another. Unfortunately those (hard) lessons are what really teach us. You will live to fight another day and do another hot rod at some point in time, only then you will be sooooo much wiser and make more solid choices.
Keep coming back to the site. Your wisdom "could" be so valuable to someone else jumping in head first.
