So we all know that we love our cars, but what is it that you hate the most about your car(s)....

Here is what i hate about mine...

=03 Mach 1= Valve tick from the driver side head that sounds like a frickin exhaust leak, Notchy ass tranny, & the squeak from the rubber around the shaker hood scoop...

=91 Notch= The slow ass blinkers, the BBK throttle body whistle that sounds like bad brakes, blown 2nd gear syncro, & the fact that I have to use the keys to open the door LOL (im used to SN95's with auto locks)...

=84 Rabbit GTI= The fact that my head touches the damn roof...

95GT- Been sitting over a year non optd with top end pulled off and no money to get it running.

Posted by Pittsburg Mustang Owner (Member # 6100) on :

Shifter shakes A LOT!

I think it's due to having a three link rear and lowering the car. I need an adj.upper control arm cuz I think the angle on the stocker is messed up causing the shaking. At least of gives me a reason to get suspension.

Posted by kingroy (Member # 7736) on :

I hate that my car attracks too much attention from females and that gets me in trouble with my lady.

I hate that my paint is too shinny and I have to keep working on it to keep it that way.

I hate the volume of my exhaust, gives off the impression that my cobra actually bites, but really only barks.

In all seriousness, I hate that my coolant mysteriously over flows about 2 times a year and no one can seem to fix it.

I hate the bubble on my top at higher speeds.

I also hate the way cops look at me when I drive pass them.

no smog or noise laws on diesels [Big Grin]

but my truck has a slight oil leak that i haven't been able to pinpoint yet, and the previous owner put some cheap ass pro-comp lift springs on it and consequently it rides like a tank. also took the easy road on the rear and put two sets of blocks under the springs [Mad]

next on the mods list is a set of new springs front and rear

94GT- Hate the "Miracle" paint job, it was liek that when I bought it- squeeks somewhere over bumps

82GT- Damn hatch squeeks like a sumbitch, stock longblock,scratches and dents on a black car, loud ass spintechs- did I say squeeks.

82 Capri RS- I hate that I haven't figured out why it's overheating and/or wants to shut off randomly. Oh and it squeeks somewhere in the rear

Posted by saleen_freak (Member # 6521) on :

I just changed my rotors to cross drilled and slotted. I had to machine down the bracets so that the rotor and caliper line up. Now my steering shakes just a lil bit but also my abs light turns on after about 10 miles of driving. Took it to the shop and nothing is wrong with my abs system, I think the the rotor is closer to the abs magnet and thats what sets off the abs light. So now I have to find new brackets and but spacers to fill the gap. Obviously the machine down way didn't work out. Probly set me back $400 for time and shop to check abs. Freekin sucky but damn it looks nice.

Posted by eastoaklandss (Member # 8011) on :

the fact that my sn95 rearend has my rear wheels pokin out a lil too much

Posted by CobraTerritory (Member # 6476) on :

the fact that i still have the 2V. a 03 cobra motor and a T56 will make me a happy camper.

Posted by 95GTConvtACE (Member # 6399) on :

95 GT Convt.- The big dent on my door that I don't have the money to fix. The squeeling that my car makes when I turn left. The fact that it sounds great but is bone stock other than the exhaust

07 CBR 600 - The fact I can't pull on the throttle every where I go because I might get pulled over and go to jail. Cars tend to not see me and almost run into me.

2000 Honda CRV - Need I say more.(Girlie car that I thought gets good gas mileage but doesn't)

Posted by totalkaos92 (Member # 5750) on :

The 92xchp got ticketed for smog and got to go to the ref, trying to put interior back in because its bare booty naked inside (just dash and seats), black paint sucks, thanks dealer, bought and hooked up the stang box rearend suspension set up, never raced it yet @ the track and the front suspension needs attention now, supercharged motor is cool but want to run even faster, and the fact that I bought the car really for the sydeshows back in 2000 and I use to have no problem highspeeding from Johnny Law, but now I got kids and too many scrappers blocking the circle and won't let me swang [Frown]

All and all: ALL CARS TAKE MONEY! YOU GOTTA SPEND TO LOOK NICE, BE SEEN AND HEARD, AND FAST AND SAFE AS WELL AS PROTECT IT, PLUS HAVE BREEZYS ON YA JOCK WITH YA BM BREATHING DOWN YA BACK. I FEEL YALL PAINS [Razz]
