Default whats wrong with your car?

i was just thinking of all the problems i have with my car and felt like venting off through a post..

my car needs an auto starter because im sick of putting the key in the lock everytime, a new foglight, new ebrake cable, and im in the process of finding a shop who can paint the back bumper black for reasonable price...and brakes...sounds like im putting another grand on my credit card
Just wondering who else has things wrong with their car or **** they like HAVE to get.. im not talking like a turbo but like a lot of little things that drive you nuts..

sounds like something my wife would say....

















kidding, but serious she would. i need to fix the paint in some spots, i too need a fog light and have already changed them all at least once, clean the headlights. and change the brakes, get a front end alignment, blah blah blah......and ive need this for 6-8 months. yet in that time i had a cam swap and tranny swap converter swap and ill probably have a new shortblock dropped in before i do all the little stuff.....

Well, my car is leaking from the top of the driver's side window, and now I've realized it's coming from the hatch too. So I basically need to replace all the weatherstripping. In the meantime, I had to take out all the carpeting, and i'm getting freaking SICK of changing out the towels laying all over my floorboard. I just had the damn f*cking thing fail inspection due to my clumsy *** knocking some spring off of the e-brake while I fought with the console trying to get it back in. Sooo, had to fight with the console some more to get it back on the other night, and I still have to take it back to get it re-inspected. Oh, and in the meantime, I must have busted the little bulb that lights up the gears. My carpeting was beyond repair, so I've got to order some new stuff. I'm BROKE, so I can't even DO anything until I get my tax refund check. It's always something. I'll never be able to afford to do any mods...too busy fixing problems, lol.

Oh wait, if ya' wanna start talking cosmetics... I've got spidering on my back fender, I've also got paint chipping on both the front and rear end. I've got a big dent on the driver's side that some ******* intentionally did the day after I bought it. In the inside, I've got a broken air vent that's cracked, and if I put the air on full blast and speed at ALL, it flies out at me. AAANNDDD a few months back while driving down the road, I went to pull the sun visor down, and it FELL off! I kinda need a new one of those too. My poor car. I almost forgot to mention, my stripes are fading and starting to peel.

That happened to mine about a week after I bought the car. The rivet stripped out, I think that shaft is aluminum, it's pretty soft. You can fix it though, take out the one that isn't broken and look at it, you can get a spring, washer and a sheet metal screw and put it all back together. I could take a picture of mine if you want. Better than paying whatever obscene amount Chevy will want for it.

I need to go get new front tires soon, I like to corner hard. My low coolant light is on, I'll fool around with that when the weather is nice. My headlight aim is a little crooked. But all I really wanna do is get a catback. Mods > maintenance

I got some damn noise coming from my right rear quater panel area that I hear when I'm driving slowly through a parking lot or something and the suspension is moving so thats on my list...I need to re-pound the **** out of my inside wheel well so my tires won't rub when pulling into a parking lot, I already did it once so its not that bad, plus I rolled the fenders. I have other do things but there mod related the really only other thing that bugs me is my right T-top leaks air when I hit about 85mph and my fuel filiter needs to be changed.

You have all these problems even with the UMI sub-frame conectors? I would think that those would help take care of SOME of those things.
