In inspiration from a couple other threads I've read lately, post up what is wrong with your car.

Mine:
1. Clearcoat flaking off roof, spoiler, and mirrors; paint fading underneath
2. Needs a timing belt within the next 500 miles or so but I'll probably wait
3. Funny sound from front left, suspect CV troubles but might just be somethin stuck in it
4. AC compressor dying, still works but whines like a supercharger lol
5. Car smells like ass from previous owner, re-upholstery and carpeting planned
6. Throttle cable has a lot of slack, but I can't get one shipped to this tiny town within the next month

Otherwise the car is in pretty good shape for being 11 years old and having 122,000 miles. Very little rust, not much for dents or anything and is mostly just dirty in ways you cannot comprehend bc of the idiot previous owner.

1. Left CV boot
2. Replace right rear ball bearing
3. Replace busted air intake (currently held up with heat resistant duct tape)
4. Find clip for rubber sealing on right headlight
5. 2 small dents from jerks who cant leave a parking lot without bumping someone

But I still love my baby biggrin.gif

Reading Macavely's thing I realize that my car too:

6. Rear windshield spray doesn't work
7. Parking brake doesn't work
8. Broken power antenna

Here comes my ginormous list:

Couple of minor dents, nothing paintless dent repair can't fix
Curb rash on a couple of wheels, nothing a new set of wheels can't fix.
Cigarette burn in driver side arm rest and couple of light ones in headliner and carpet
A/C blows tooooooo frosty cold.
CD Player (stock tape/cd unit) skips a lot, nothing a new IPOD ready deck can't fix (just got a 20 gig Ipod for my B-Day)
The little ring of light around the Cigarette lighter doesn't light up all the way
There's holes in the passenger side of the console where a cell phone used to be housed.
Couple of small nicks in the paint.

Ummm.......that's about it. biggrin.gif

1. Bad clearcoat (like a lot of folks it seems)
2. Need to replace driver's side ball joint
3. Trunk rattles
4. I'd like to rebuild my engine
5. Replace an exhaust stud

The engine's not really failing or anything, I just want an excuse to go forward with some plans I've had for a while.
