    - My windshield has a little puthole, some minor scratches (new one: €200,- incl. sunband)

    -I got 2 leaks, one somewhere arround the windshield, cause the window isn't seald propperly, and one in the back (maybe the right light-unit)

    -CD-player doens't work at random, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't

    -Bodykit needs some fixin' and a paintjob

    -Last saturday I finaly received a new gas-strut (left-one)for the trunk lid, OUT with the Broomstick , finaly. (€90,-)

    And I ready fixed/replaced the right sidemarker, the leather shiftstick cover and shiftstick knob, handbrake (cause the silver button wasn't that silver anymore :P) and the foglight switch.

    Yesterday, after drivin' home from football practice, I noticed something was wrong with the tail-light, the red-light went up on my dash. When I droped a team mate of I checked the tail-lights, thinking one of the brakelights was broken, cause that also happened a few weeks ago.
    Nothing was working. Luckily it was just the ground cable that came loos.

    hmmm where to start? I got 188880.8 miles on it and my prblems are:
    1. E-Brake jams
    2. Misters don't work, really expensive to have fixed because it involves removing a body panel.
    3. Headlights are poorly aimed and left retractor is non-functional
    4. Rust on rear wheel wells and on passenger/front quarter panel (grinds). Lots of other minor but annoying flaws. I'd like paint.
    5. Badly torn drivers seat, lots of foam lost.
    6. No a/c
    7. Front skidplate hangs down.
    8. 2 of 5 brake and one reverse light is out. That entire light unit is hanging out of the inside of my trunk.
    9. Seat recline handles are worn on the inside and fall off.
    10. Brakes are getting crappy.
    11. Engine hasn't had tune-up at Honda for as long as I can remember.
    12. Maintentance-wise it's overall neglected cause I don't drive yet, and my aunt uses it, hates it, and is really cheap.
    13. Windows are scratched.
    14. Used to have to bang radio to get it to work, but it's been well behaved for a couple months now. (fixed itself?)
    14. WORST OF ALL, THE FRONT "H" HONDA SYMBOL FELL OFF!!!!

    Oh yah and it needs an H22a

    It's best not to think about it as long as it doesn't have any major effect on the car. There's a lot of things wrong with my car, but it's cool since I know my car's still reliable.

    my car...

    I have a problem that NOBODY has ever been able to solve


    $$^^%^%^ gas tank

    I have to put like 10 gallons of this crap they call "petrol" in it every few days to get that yellow light on my dashboard to go off ( it's right next to the one with the little genie bottle next to it..that one turns red if I'm nut rubbing that pedal on the floor)..must be a really common problem..these "filling stations" are EVERYWHERE!, at least that "gas" stuff isn't as expensive as that high performance fule..it's called 'diesel"..that sells for like 30 cents a gallon more..and they just refuse to put it in my car. I got them beat however..I bought a plastic can at the hardware store..so I'm going to just pull in and say fill this with "diesel for my other car that one has a leak also"

    lets see...
    faded paint
    starts funny (ect?)
    shakes like crazy (engine mounts?)
    crappy system
    leaky A/C (lasts about 1 - 2 months)
    cracked windshield
    wore tires
    bright lights currently not working
    horrible, i mean horrible gas mileage
    passenger window is slow
    and to top it all of, the car was in a wreck that the previous owner never mentioned. so now one of the headlights has a large gap around it when down, and who knows what other problems it will cause.

    it almost seems like when i fix one thing on that accord, two other things break...

    recently, ive fixed/replaced: a new radiator, t-stat, various coolant switches, bumper brackets, valve cover gasket, distributor o-ring, passenger door window regulator/crank, fuel injectors, and new battery...

    things still broken and need to be fixed/replaced: starter, main relay, leaky oil pan gasket, leaky oil pan drain bolt, slipping tranny, right headlight doesnt work (wires torn), leaky sunroof, drivers side window regulator, broken drivers side door handle, broken rear small window (fu*king thieves), broken dash and missing radio (damn thieves), huge hole in the muffler... more stuff to list, but im sure most of you arent even reading this far down lists...

    people ask me all the time why do i keep the beater (having three other nice cars)... the car accord is extremely cheap to operate. car is paid for, insurance is dirt cheap, and gets around 35 miles to the gallon...i commute 70 miles a day, so my accord is the perfect beater...
    '97 240sx (new toy)
    '93 prelude vtec
    '02 jetta 1.8t gls (wife drives)
    '88 accord lx-i (died on 6/25/03... RIP)
    '01 accord lx (replaced lxi as beater, sold 5/05)
    '05 accord coupe ex 6spd with navi (new beater)

    after a week or so, if i got my accord, i noticed the wheel to be a bit loose, i knew that in it, there must be nut...then problem was : how the fck am I supposed to access it? well...off the plasic cover (with the "H" attached to it) came by force. after successfully breaking my steering wheel, I noticed, that one should first remove the "H" , and then do whatever he wants to the nut. LOL :lol
