At the time I'd just inherited the car. Knew little about emissions-controlled vehicles. The car ran badly, etc. Fixed the cat not knowing the running issues killed cats (dirty MAF, running lean causing high exhaust temps and burning the cat).
I don't regret it, really. It was still marginal enough to get me through annual inspection, and the car taught me a lot about how modern OBDII cars run and can be diagnosed.
