Here's what I do: Never trade.
I facepalm everytime I go into the GT5 Marketplace. I understand you weren't trading a GTP'er, but still, trading in GT5 is bad.
Biggest "I'm an idiot" thing you've done in GT5

Trading is bad if you're doing it with someone who isn't trustworthy.
I've actually had a few successful trades on GTP: A Neon SRT-4 for a 69 Camaro, dumped pink paint chips in exchange for red and blue ones, and most recently; a Buick GNX for a Lotus Carlton.
There are good traders out there, you just have to find them and word your requests carefully on the Marketplace.

Is it really? I have had many successful trades in the Market Place with only one gone sour. I have also witnessed a great many successful trades between others with only a few here and there gone bad. Certainly not as bad as your, "trading in GT5 is bad" comment would make it seem. Furthermore, if you are smart enough to backup your save before trading, then you have nothing to lose just in case you do run across a bad trade partner. As an active member in the Market Place, I have to completely disagree with your statement there as it seems a little mis-informed.

I have a habit of missing braking points, the worst offender is when I'm on the Nurburgring 24 hour circuit

Yeah maybe so, I usually do it only when there is a long straight before a slow corner
Strangely enough, I rarely end up doing it on La Sarthe

Latest biggest idiot thing I did was spend 2.6 mil credits on the Pagani Zonda R when I own a copy of 'GTPedia'. Now I've got two of them thanks to winning one in a B-spec race.
Can't sell them, and pretty sure nobody's going to trade you either. That could have been credits spent much more wisely. I hate it when I do stuff like that.

Paint one red and paint one blue.
Then let a friend borrow one of them and have a rad dualtone shootout.

I was in a online race with a Calsonic Skyline (the premium one),I was first but then I got disconected. When i went back, we re-started the race, but I didn't think change the settings, so I race with Racing Hard and TC to 5 while everyone else were with Racing Soft. Finished last, 16s late.

A new high for "I'm an idiot"
Last night I realized that I've had the front toe of ALL of my cars set to positive instead of negative. I usually set it and forget it, so I got into the habit of just setting them all the same. Last night, I heard someone online say something about negative toe...and it hit me like a sledgehammer. OMG, what have I done?!?!
For a while I was wondering why I was understeering more in corners that I used to stick to.

Easy. Uninstalled and reinstalled my game data because of issues connecting to the online portion of the game (first mistake) and unknowingly deleting all of the photos and replays I had taken/saved along with it.
I had a wireless connection at the time, as well. (second mistake)

Freaking out that my wheel was broken because my Cevrolet Corvette Convertible (C1) '54 had only 2 gears. I looked at my transmission settings and realized my car was stock.

Having both my wheel and my DS3 assigned as controller 1, I was in an online lobby. I think it's better to navigate through the menus with the DS3 than with the wheel, so that's why I sometimes have them both on.
While waiting for the race to start I was reading a magazine. When the countdown started I put the magazine away and got ready to race. As the race started, all the cars took off, except for me. I stayed put on the grid with my engine revving like crazy.
First I thought my transmission had collapsed, or maybe my brakes had jammed. I tried all sorts of different things to try and get my car rolling.
Then, after a minute or two, I looked at the table next to me. There was the magazine. Under it was the DS3. The magazine had pushed on the right analogue stick, mapped to the brakes.
That's the most epic failure I've had in Gran Turismo.

Spending hours to get an Audi R10 and a few days later getting another on the BSpec Nurburgring 24h. Still kick myself.
