Tell me the things that are wrong with your car...

I ain't buying it, so you don't have to lie... lol

*When I try to fill the gas-tank in my Ford Explorer, the pump kicks like
it does when it's full, BUT MY TANK IS EMPTY! mad It takes 20 mins to
put 1/2 tank in this car because I have to give it baby sips of gasolina...
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Three hubcaps
lost potato chips under driver's seat
back windows squeak horribly when I put them up
covering around base of stick shift is coming loose
switch on rear view mirror for blocking brights is broken
no AC
bad/stained chairs

I don't have a car anymore but the last one I had

...had the steering wheel on the wrong side.
...required a whole friggin football field to turn 180 degrees around.
...had completely silent turn signals, so it was easy to leave them on by mistake.
...had a really inefficient A/C.

Other than that, it was pretty darned good. Good on gas, and kind of like Harry Potter's tent; small on the outside but incredibly roomy on the inside.

For a "efficent" car, sure does use a lot of gas...
Fine otherwise

My car has been banged up 3 times.....and considering that, it runs fairly well. I now have scratches on my bumper and a piece missing from the back panel from when I accidentally backed into someone's car a few weeks ago. redface It was a Jeep, so nothing happened to it. I swear the tiniest bump on my car does major damage. All fender benders I've been in, the other cars have driven away without a scratch or minimum damage. confuse My Corolla gets excellent gas mileage, but I need a safe car now.....which is why a Jetta is my top choice.

There are many things wrong with my car neutral

The lock on the driver's side of the car doesn't unlock from the outside. I have to unlock the doors through the passenger side.

The antenna is broken - that stupid thing has cut me badly twice already. I have a huge scar on my arm because of it mad

One of the windows doesn't open.

The trunk can only be opened by using both the key and pulling the thing that opens it, I don't know what it is called, but it is under the driver's seat, at the same time disbelief .

only AM radio... so i spent a bunch of money getting the doodads for playing my mp3 through it only to have it sound like shite through the crap speakers.

have to buckle my seatbelt into the middle clip as mine is busted confused

burns oil... in fact i just kind of let it go a bit dry redface

starter is going. one of these times i will be stranded.

glovebox is stuck but that is where the button to pop the gas door is hidden
so you have to wedge a screwdriver in to pry it open enough to reach the otherwise locked gas cap.

has a bit of a wobble. i guess i should check the tires already rolleyes

what else do you want to know? confused

I just replaced the oil pan and auxillary water pump. I need a new lens for my drivers side brake light and I have a small dent under the trunk keyhole.

it's super dirty right now hrmph

it's leaking oil even after a $700+ fix of whatever the problem was supposed to be hammer

2 new front tires BUT one is defective & has a slow leak, I have yet to go back & address it confused

the antenna is fucking up - motor works but it doesn't catch so it makes this loud noise for about a minute & the antenna never goes down on its own neutral

drivers side door handle has been broken off for over a year now - I can open it but it's just a little piece left falloff It's over $100 to fix, fuck that hmph!



I figure it's only gonna hold up another 2 years anyway, then I'll have to face a car note all over again shake
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

So far, there's nothing wrong with my car, except it needs to be cleaned badly.

Not too much. Small dent in one of the fenders. Some of rubber stuff around the windows is trying to peel off. The A/C needs more of whatever the stuff is that makes it cold. It needs an oil change. Not bad for a 17-year-old car. shrug
oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1!
