First glance, I took that in as "drive it slowly, daily fixing a bunch...."

Thought I'd teleported to the Ford owners forum or something

and no cupholders
My cupholder is the side of my right leg and the center console. Works great, but puts my right foot in somewhat of a strange position when I drive.

I hate forgetting to clamp down hoses and blowing them off 2 miles down the road. I'll be driving and all of a sudden I'll hear whooooooooooosh, and have no power. Aw, F*(ck not again. lol

So far, I blew off my bov and my intake hose between the crossover and the intercooler.

The tan interior, the clunk from the bushings, the fact that the rpm guage doesn't work all the time, and obviously the stupid passenger side door handle that breaks if you look at it wrong(and the fact that people don't know how to close the damn door) The handle is NOT used to close the door, the hole where the lock is suppost to be, the handle is used while already in the car just to hold on to. I know it's not one thing but it all falls under the same category (except the bushings) the interior.
I know the car is old but damn, I have a slightly older BMW that doesn't have these crappy interior problems and the bushings WTF, I've never heard of this type of problem except on the fd. lol but other then that I love the car to death, it runs great and handles better.
