exhaust leak from one of my vbands. i always forget about it till i go and start it. by then it is too late to tighten them.

Hopefully we can help other members as well as vent in this thread

As for me...

Front struts are shot, one is leaking (new ones on order!)

Clicking either from axle or control arm bushing (gonna replace bushing when i do the struts)

Small hissy exhaust leak somewhere... have header gasket but way too lazy to replace

Front brakes are about shot... just riding these suckers out

I fear my passenger window is rolling up so slow its gonna quit on me one day soon

I.C. pump sometimes works and sometimes doesnt, plan to replace with a bigger pump one day
is it only 1 click when you start going forward or backwards? if so i had that. replaced my axles and it hasnt done it since.

Yep, but I don't think either are worth putting the money into at the moment so they get only the essential mechanical stuff repaired. Work on the small crap a little at a time when I get the spare $.

-Also have a clicking when going into Reverse / once in a while moving in first
-Riding on stock clutch that cant handle WOT, but have everything for clutch job
-have a shimmy at about 65 miles an hour that happens on cold days. I thought it was a tire (actually leaning more to the tire as the shimmy will happen on braking but on warm / hot days its not there any more). I have the R1 Concept brake rotors / brakes, but dont think its a rotor as it doesnt shimmy when braking every time.

Thats just the SS,

For my truck,
-Rotors have minor warpage, gonna put them on the lathe soon
-Have to fix the driver side door sensor as the lights dont turn off all the time when opening the door

For my Mountain bike
-front innertube is flat, need to buy a special innertube as the stem cant be standard length, I have deep rims for rough terrain so I need special innertubes.

Now you guys know only a fraction of my bullshit ... hahah

How many miles do you guys have on your ss/sc's before everything is taking a dump? I used to have a LT and im going to look at a ss/sc tomorrow for $12000 are they worth it?

A super low mileage 07' might be worth $12k, but I would be sure it is mint before even thinking about paying that.

Need shocks and struts, chase down a possible disconnect in my turn signal lights. They work but if the lights are off like daytime, all four will flash like hazards but the opposite side will flash dim.

Drivers rear caliper is leaking
Passenger front strut leaking
Passenger window motor appears weak
Slight rattle from under car under small load (exhaust shield is the probably culprit)
Drivers projector turned on its own

That's about it for now.

Also have an annoying noise/clunk from the rear end that makes me wanna punch babies.
Got the exhaust fixed. Weld completely broke around the pipe coming out of the resonator. And found out my rear sway bar was loose on one bolt causing the annoying clunk/bang.

strut bushings were squeaking so I took off the entire front suspension to replace them. Debating if I wanna spend another $400 on sway bars while the car is apart.
