    Default Pet peeve about your car?

    I hate the fact that my door pockets are basically impossible to put my hand in, which means anything I drop in there I can never get out.

    i hate not being able to urinate in the glove compartment. Its one of my biggest pet peeves. It just gets to me... it seems so convenient, but you can never open it fast enough and you end up getting the carpet dirty.

    I hate the fact that my gears are so short. When I drag race I have to be in 2nd gear by the time I am 1/2 way done launching. It's so hard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pay too much for gas on the truck and the car. Having only driven the car 10 miles before something else goes wrong and its down for another month. They are both black so scratches show up really well.

    I could go on forever about things I hate about my car, lol... but it gets me to and from where I need to go everyday, so I can't really complain, haha... but i guess the main thing that bugs me is the front end.. it was wrecked and you cant really tell except for when you look at it head on it looks like its crooked, lol... kinda ghetto but I love my car anyways!!

    I agree with all the cup holder issues. I mean WTF is up with Honda cup holders? I have yet to find a cup or glass that fits in them. When I shift or take turns I have to hold the cup so they wont tip over all over the place. Sucks!!

    wait i'm not done yet.

    - my brakes that squeak like the devil when it's cold outside
    - cold tires = horrible
    - the suspension that clunks
    - the seats get uncomfortable after about an hour
    - the steering is so sensitive you can't just zone out cause the car will follow irregularities in the road
    - horrible gas milage
    - my windows are so dark that sometimes i can't see at night and i feel like an old lady rolling down the window to see the turn






    but you know what makes it okay? couple gallons of c16.

    Val for President.

    i hate the fact that somebody decided to use my car as a punching bag before it was even 6 months old & he won't pay to fix or even fix it himself, but i refuse to claim it on insurance! i also hate the fact that when i use remote start, the seat warmers don't automatically come on...the key has to be in the ignition for them to work so i get in & the car is all nice & warm, but the seats are still freezing!

    In "SS" mode, it shifts from 1st to 2nd for you. And my suspension clunks a little. Also, with stock tires, I have NO traction at all. I can roast them off to no extent.

    my civic's stupic ass cup holders, the spring that vibrates (in my cup holder pop up thing) when i drive, the dash lights never work for the ac and heat, the ashtray bulb always blows and i can never find a new one, trunk always gets water in it, and thats about all i can think of right now.
