You're right! I've become so used to it it seems the norm. I actually found a way to keep it quiet, hitting the AC recirc button when fan speed is 0.

1. No ebrake. I use 1st gear to hold the car on my driveway. Seems that will cause problems in the long run. Ive read fixing the rear e brake will only work for a few, then back to its useless self.

2. Slow window motor

3. Steering shakes like marbles over a non smooth road.

I have the same window problem. Specially if I try to roll both sides up at the same time.

Also have this naggy high pitch scraping sound coming from Rear driver side. Changed brakes two months ago so I'm thinking it's a rotor.

Where the hell do I even start?

- Small crack in my windshield. It was ghetto repaired but still looks like ****.
- Front bumper and lip are garbage.
- A/C condenser is dented and leaks.
- Dent behind the sideskirt so it doesn't clip in fully.
- Need to do my brakes soon (I am laid off at the moment and broke as ****).
- Clunking noise going over bumps. Not sure if its the CABs, endlinks or intermediate steering shaft.

I have! Flushed it with ate super blue. Bled it twice as the first time still felt like air was in the system.

Oh, I forgot. Got a broken rear motor mount too. Apparently they were shitty knocks from OTTP and not actual John Powell mounts.....ugh

hmm. where the hell do I start...
SS/SC
1. stained and scratched clear coat on hood, roof, wing, and door.
2. rattle can painted front lip held in with screws
3. stained floor carpeting
4. boost gauge non functional for about 2 years
5. wideband not functional
6. shitty custom made catback exhaust hitting bumper / heat shields
7. burned out muffler *numbers 6 and 7 creating "wonderful" exhaust note*
8. stripped exhaust manifold bolts
9. non-functional passenger door speaker
10. EVAP leak that cannot be found with a smoker or pressure gauge. (removed codes with HPT)

LS
1. non functional drivers door speaker
2. deep gouges in rear bumper because I suck at driving
3. clear coat is stained
4. warped rotors
5. rattling in front end
6. turn signals usually have to be turned off manually regardless of how much the wheel is turned
7. passenger window crank (yes it has crank windows) rattles
8. headlight has condensation

Actually the problems I roll with are quite minor. Thankfully none of these affect the way the vehicles run.
