Default Things that bother me about our cars!

I thought I would see if I'm not alone on this subject.

Things I sort of dislike about my ride are:

1. those da__ power window motors
2. that Fu__ing passenger floor board
3. That cheep as_ factory theft alarm system ( you have to be like 20ft from the car before you can open you doors/ pop the trunk) at least for my car you do!
4. All the possible mods you can do. I think you wife is going to kill me if I spend any more money on my First love, O I mean second love.
5. All the haters out there! Just buy an F bod and stop wantin to race me. Like you have a chance. Dam_ Rice burners!
6. I won't talk bad about the Mustang owners since I have a 89 GT. But you know how they are!
7. How many tires will I go through this year? Dam_ Gas pedal/Torqe/Need for speed (it's all good) I don't really go through a lot of tires but you all know what I mean. Got to love that Torqe!
8. Again, the haters! Hey man Nice Car. I know it's a nice car, And I know you wish you had one. Got off my Dic__ butt wipe.
9. Stupid as_ questions you get from people. How much HP do you have? If you have to ask, you don't need to know! Get in your car and find out buddy.

What things do you'll hate?

Drying the car after washing it takes forever. There are too many places for water to hide and just when you think your done, the car leaks from somewhere. I sometimes think this car is part water buffalo, it holds more water then what came out of the hose.

1. Doors that reach into the next area code
2. Cat hump that puts my wifes feet to sleep
3. Cheap plastic interior
4. Dashboard the size of a picnic table
5. Monsoon speakers last about as long as candy corn at a Jenny Crieg meeting
6. Engine that resides under my picnic table dashboard (I love the engine)
7. No Factory true duel exhuast - even though the new GTO gets one
8. Steering wheel radio controls will eventually wear off the labels
9. Loves to hold water
10. Rattles

That was my top ten countdown. All in all I love my car

The fact that people think the LS1 is just like any old Chevy 350, and that you can put parts from older motors on them.

People are dousche bags when it comes to nice cars. They get jelous, and think, hey since I can't have one let's mess this nice car up. I was at a Chipotle one day, and that day just so happened to be my birthday, and some idiot ends up hitting my back bumper. I even parked away from all the other cars, and someone still manages to mess it up. What is wrong with people?

1. Large damn doors
2. Slow window motors
3. Passenger side hump
4. Stupid interior lighting, starting with the map lights and ending with the stupid light way back by the trunk compartment.
5. Weak rear end
6. Stupid exhaust design, why couldn't we get a true dual setup!
7. Useless trunk space

3. 10 bolt
4. traction controll automatically starts in the "ON" position (more $$ to spend to get a moduel)

although the good outweight the bad by many many miles

Yea while all of you are complaining about the big doors, week rear, sh*tty exhaust set-up...think about owning a honda or an acura w/ a coffee can exhaust, i agree w/ you all about a lot of this stuff but i'd rather have a sick looking crazy fast car than a ricer. Anyone know how to put in upgraded window motors? My dads 1980 Corvette window motors are like rocket propelled or something, i wouldnt mind finding suttin like that for mine. And i really dont understand how some of you guys dont like it when people compliment your car. It just means that they have good taste and acknowledge the fact that we own a sweet ride, they are jealous and at that point, look up to us. I dont get it, i like compliments....except something like the point made above, "i bet that thing has a lot of hp." lol that is annoying.

1. Window Motors
2. Cat hump
3. Rear defroster
4. Plastic front bumper chips easily
5. 10 bolt, why couldn't we get a 12?

Am I the only person who thinks the interior is nice? It's very simple, nice leather seats.

Oh well.

1) Oil consumption
2) Monsoon sound system that sounds tinny (replaced)
3) Cheap interior panels that rattle and separate
4) Useless cupholder in line with the shifter (does anyone sell covers/inserts for these?)

All in all, I love my car, but there are just a few things about it that could have been thought out better.
