So whats wrong with your car

[kowalski]

- squeek in rear suspension not sure from where
- lifter needs to be replaced lucking i have 24 of them in my room
- front bumper needs to be replaced but im doing that this weekend
- my headliner is the white tanish color want to change it to black as well as the rear deck
- a few small door dings i believe the count is at 4 now. 2 flaws in the trunk lid paint and dents in the roof from some retard to lifted himself up and used the roof as support.
- radio whine comming from an interference from the ecu wires i believe which i should be fixing soon.

Some random squeaks and creaks in the suspension.
Wheels need to be balanced.
Steering rack is 4 turns lock to lock.
Interior is ragged out as shit.
Dash has cracks.
