worst part about your FC??

me and my buddy were talking about the worst parts of our cars and he brought up the usual ... flooding, apex seals, coolant seals, oil cooler lines... straight out problems. i said the worst part about my car is it has no cup holders. so this has probably been done before but what do you hate most about your car?

the fact that i have 88 turboII in my driveway, with a haltech e6k, hybrid turbo, bigger injectors, walbro pump, greddy bov, 3in dp, test pipe, 3in catback, ohlins adjustable suspension, dtss eliminators, mazdaspeed wheels, and cheap tuner that is local and does amazing work and i still have never driven the car unless you count being towed behind my brothers truck. i have owned the car for a little over a year and a half. i've heard it run but it was only once for a couple of minutes. i fail at life.

i will never part it, i will eventually get it all right, it sat for a long time and it now has a stuck apex seal. as soon as im done remodeling my house, im going to remodel my motor with s5 n/a rotors and a little love from mr toscano and see if i cant lay down around 375 at the wheels. im also going to work on a homemade intake mani and sweet *** v mount ive been dreaming up with about 6 inches of intercooler piping. i cant wait, i love thinking about drifting this car.

I HATE having no cup holders too. I have to put my drinks between my crotch. I hate having barely any trunk space. When I brake hard whatever that's in the trunk instantly becomes a flying projectile launched at my head (coupe).
