Default Your car's little annoyances that you ignore

Mine would be the alternator belt. In certain temperatures it will squeal upon warming up and sometimes when starting motion from long idle periods.

You would think it's simple to fix, but try getting your hand/tool in there to get it

I was told that at MR2 meets they have contests on whose can squeal louder/longer/etc.

I don't really "ignore" any of them, they all piss me off.

By ignore, I mean you're too lazy to do anything about it.

Gotcha. Let's see...

1) P/S belt squeals when wet but it goes around an engine mount and behind the alt belt, so screw it
2) Various interior creaks
3) It's an automatic
4) Moonroof creaks
5) Small rust spot below spoiler
6) Various dents and scratches outside
7) Overheats on really really hot days

I'm sure there's more. I'm so sick of my car.

Chintsy nick in the gears occasionally on the 2-3 shift...not a grind, just can feel the gears meshing on occasion..it's a normal thing in the s2k.

The oil level sensor in my oilpan failed and the dashboard light stays on. I could just jump the sensor's harness and it would keep the light off, but getting under there is a pain.
