Those little annoying things on your car that you need to fix...
...but you have been putting off. Just knocked out two of them this weekend with the rainy weather keeping me inside:
1) Had to put in a socket head encapsulated screw in my seat rails. I had lost it during installation more than 2 months ago, and just found it the other day. Everything was just fine without it, but they gave me 6 for a reason, so it's nice to have them all in
2) Passenger side rear seatbelt retractor had been sucking ever since I installed my springs. It was catching on the guide, and I was too lazy to take the rear seats out and adjust it. Now it works like a champ.
I've still got to get a heli-coil kit for the driver's side seat mount. The bolt cross threaded as it was almost all the way in, don't ask me how. The seat is secure, absolutely not going anywhere, but it creaks a little when I first sit in and get out, and that annoys me. I'm lazy and don't want to do it, though.
Anybody got anything like these?

Either my amp or my deck went haywire...lost all mids in my audio. Annoying as hell but can't do crap about it til' the man is paid off.
thinking about pulling my stereo system and going with something easier to deal with.
I think my seat came loose the other day.
That's it really.

Don't even get me started. On top of everything, my passenger side mirror was busted off by some punks , i thikn that was the 4th hit and run. I finalyl got on a new side mirror this weekend, though unpainted which sucks cuz it looks like ***. Putting the mirror on was pretty hard because I had to take off part of the door card. The screws were not easy to unscrew either.
Also have the fender dent from a year ago...door ding dent + scratch on passenger door...rear bumper still all scratched up and dented.
Also hoodscoop is missing a fin...interior trim paint for air vent is smeared off..
Also gotta get an alignment ..the car is pulling to the right
windshield is cracked..
exhaust is melting a chunk off my bumper
...lots of cosmetic stuff. i'll do a full restore once i start making some baller money.

My electric window adjuster for the side mirrors doesn't work, I think it was disconnected when I installed my turbo timer and had to pull out the center console. Also, my third brake light somehow melted the plastic housing around it so I no longer have a third brake light.

1) my car makes this loud *** whining noise, its coming from under the hood but I cant pinpoint where exactly. Its freaking annoying as hell, sounds like im supercharged. I don't even know how to fix it... does anyone else have or had this trouble?
2) My damn cup holder is stuck inside.. Have to clean it, i think its cause of the sticky soda.
3) Clock/radio doesn't work. WTF fuse keeps burning. wth is the problem with my car?
I hate my car...

dont get me started.. i ahve to replace like 3-4 bulbs... driver side high beam, the small corner light on the head light and the rear brake lights. then i got somewhat of a broken cup holder that doesnt wanna close and the vents above it are stuck and cant move due to some starbucks... that pisses me off all the time when i try to use it!!
I bust the driver's side dogleg about a month after i bought the car (um, almost 4 years ago now).
And some ****nut tried destroyed the trim around my passenger side windows with a screwdriver about 4 months ago.
Just got the call today that both parts have arrived at the dealership.
