    What stupid stuff have you broke.

    I have had several stupid little annoying things break on my car. Mostly easy fixes from the junkyard.

    1. "A" pillar trim on the drivers side, my fat head hit it and it cracked.
    2. Drivers side door handle, one side broke in the extreme cold.
    3. Glove box, Hinge broke and when I replaced it the mount on the box itself broke.
    4. RF Corner lamp, the two tiny screws broke off the plastic mount.
    5. The trim ring around the top of the shifter boot came loose and sliced the tips of my finges.
    6. Stupid clutches, stupid connecting rods breaking.
    7. Front bumper will not re-mount correctly
    8. Stupid exaughst falling off the week I baught it.
    9. Rear hatch center piece, chipped when I baught it.
    10. Radio antannae.

    Everyone post your lists of stuff breaking.

    1. My old CD player, just didn't want to come out of the car so I had to force it out
    2. Washer hose for the nozzles, somehow it got cut
    I may only get 13-18 MPG, but try and follow me in the mud and you'll get stuck.

    i broke the plastic piece that surrounds the opening to the trunk just this morning looking for a socket that i dropped while taking my speaker out.

    i do it every time i take my speaker out. you'd think i'd learn.
    A little nonsense now and then

    Whole Interior trim. A carpet. A shifter knob. One seat. Two seat adjuster levers. One tranny. FOUR sets of front corner lamps <-- I curse Honda for sticking them out so far. Ummm, too many other things.

    Just about everything on the headlights. Be it accidents, bulb failure, and mostly pure stupidity. I would yell "FUC*!" or "Piece of shi*!" many many times.

    I tripped over my cupholder right before installing it and broke one of the hinges required to bolt it on tightly. You should have seen the horror on my face. I have broken many of other things but I really cant think of one specific one at the moment.
    Thinking about getting a new 3g...

    - seat adjustment lever (broke two of them)
    - one of the nuts that holds the shocks on to hold the hatch up (they need replacing and i've got the new parts but need to drill the nut out still),
    - my friend broke the bottem part of the hood trim off when he opened my hood right after i popped it and his hand slipped off the thing you gotta hold down while you lift it up (since been replaced)
    - the thing that extends off the hatch into the interior rattled cause i let it close too hard and my bike hit it (just had to tighten everything back down good)

    seat recliner levers (both)
    little kicker panel on passenger side...got a new one but color's not quite right
    piece that goes over where the rear view mirror mounts
    a cd player (not really sure what happened, probably shorted internally due to messing around w/it plugged in )
    headliner in the back sags cause 1. whoever put in my sunroof took out the roof support beam and 2. the retaining clips above the rear window broke when i was messing around with the 'lude moonroof
    various nuts and bolts lost
    snapped two bolts: one by radiator, not important, the other in between the distributor and valve cover...probably important....:lol

    think that's about it

    I'm betting your problem is the same as I had with one of my doors. The door switch gets rusty or loose and doesn't work anymore. Get a new switch from the wrecker for about a buck and 'let there be light'

    i broke my pinch for bolt on the driver's side.
    broke one front headlight trim ring, fixed it with wire
    one tail light.
    blew out my speakers, if that counts.

    My friend stepped on the Honda ventshade I got from the J/y for 5 bucks and it cracked it two. I had it held together with fibercloth and resis until when I was driving on a windy road and the good side came unattached and I got pissed, got out of the car ripped it off and broke it in many more pieces when I was almost late for work on my first day.
