1. Shifter so sloppy it is hard to tell 1st from 4th
2. Smokes like a french whore
3. Drivers window regulator
4. Clunk from rear: SFBs?
5. NOISY valves
7. Nasty carpet
8. Water leaks
9. Oil Leaks
10. PAINT

I don't even count little shit like the door panel mounting snaps being fukzord or the squeaky seats, the dents, swaybar issues, OBC lightbulbs being out, on and on.

On the plus: I fired her up yesterday to go get it buffed. No taillights for two weeks (due to droppage, oopsie!). Raspy and rowdy as fuck, about 30 degrees outside. Just rolling across the parking lot the damn thing smoked the tires and got all sideways...like the little bitch it is.

Sweetly drive all nice and proper? Fuck no, you will get stranded.

Thrash the piss out of her, drive like it is a grudge-fuck...she smiles and says "More, Daddy?"

Every day someone comes into my shop and comments on what a "hot little car that is"...ev3ry day. If it were as nice as some on this board I would walk around with an erection all day.

oh man. I wouldn't even know where to start. I have service records from the day the car was bought by my step-aunt. ~$23,000 for the car in 1985. ~$21,000 worth of service history from the dealer. I bought it in 2000 and have put ~$15,000 into it since. A good $10,000 of my spending was mods, but I saved a good $8,000-$10,000 on normal maintanence/repair by doing work myself and taking all the parts from my own parts cars.

The only thing on my car that is untouched is the engine internals.

The one thing that pisses me off about my car because I replace 1 a month:

Door handle surrounds. Honestly, WTF?!?! Those plastic rectangle rings of shit can go to hell.

Most of this stuff did not need to be changed, I did them because I was in there and it was the perfect time to do them.

Stuff that I replaced as normal wear items as well as broken parts are....

SFB
TAB
CAB and control arms
All the suspension
Every brake componant
Flex disk
Gas tank

Thats kinda all for now. I have a shit load more stuff that was changed for upgrading purposes.
