Little things that bug you....

What little things about your car really bug you? I've got two things that annoy me with the bird.

1. No combo spot on the heater controls. Why can't I have defrost and heat at the same time? Either my feet are freezing or the windshields fogged up.

2. Poor wipers. I've tried many kinds of wiper blades but they all seem to skip or scrub or something. Also the wipers have always made a clunkin noise.

I have many, but I think I can narrow it down.

- To many squeaks and rattles
- Rides really rough
- Underpowered for its image (lg4)
- Only 20 mpg (I should be getting 25 for the lack of power it has!)

I might be able to think of some more later.

No cup holder. I don't like the ones in the new Camaros or birds either.

Water runs into rear of car when hatch is opened while it is raining out. Crappy engineering at its best, and the worst part is that new cars are still built this way.

No keyless entry. I've learned to love this feature on newer cars.

More:

Gas tanks that slosh the fuel around causing fuel starvation. Fixed in the later thirdgens.

Fuel gauges that read incorrectly whenever you are on a hill or going around a corner, which is all the time in a thirdgen. Most of my older GM cars don't do this on corners, or at the worst barely move. All of them do it on hills.

Fog lamp bulbs that burn out every 6 months.

Manual tranny shift forks that bend every time you power shift the car

1) Not much room for sex.
2) Water rolling off hatch in the rain.
3) No room for dual exhaust.
4) Rattles and squeaks.
5) Friggin retarded 4x6 in dash speakers.

Thats about it. Small prices to pay for the car I love.

Never had a problem with that one. Just another reason to make sure you have t-tops

I also agree about no room for exhaust, both dual exhaust and no room for headers. Right Jon???
