Broken right axle - installed new one

Driver seat has thread coming out, not the main stitching - new ordered

Interior panel on passenger side below shifter was installed incorrectly and damaged - new ordered

Right rocker panel skirt is warped - new ordered

Clunking sound at left front every time I hit a bump - too busy to bring back for service, will when I am off the week after next

Fingerprints left on car after parking in public - Instant Detailer removes them

Blows the rear tires off in 1st, 2nd or 3rd when I stomp it at 3,000 rpms - will order new 275 or 295 tires, the widest that will fit (the F1's suck on cold pavement) - I love this problem though

Just out of curiosity, were you able to jump it from under the hood (and if so, from where)?

There is a red box in front of the shock tower on the passenger side with neg and pos terminals for jumping.

Also, just out of curiosity, why was the battery on a new car dead?

In my case, I got a dead battery from spending the day uploading cd's (about 100) into the hard drive and not thinking of starting it at any time during the process. Good fortune to have a battery in the trunk when THE CAR is in the garage.

Here's a weird issue: Everytime I start the car with the MP3 player attached (or just attach the MP3 player), it always starts at a blaring volume that startles the crap out of you, even with the regular radio volume turned down. Maybe it's the MP3 player itself, but it never did that in any of my other cars. [sm=wtf.gif]

That sounds like you have the MP3 player turned up too loud. Mine's the same way. I always have to turn down the radio controls when I use the MP3 player. I keep the player itself up loud because I have a little set of speakers for it to use in the house. For them, the player has to be set on LOUD.

That's my guess too - just a little odd that it never happens in any of my other cars, their volume overrides the MP3's volume, but for whatever reason they don't in this car. Oh well, if that's the biggest complaint I have...
