Speaking of gay stickers there is a sticker on the car I was looking at that says "ALWAYS FORWARD, NEVER STRAGIHT" with the straight being rainbow colored. Along with some dragon stickers and a bent driverside door.

my rear trunk lid is all frucked from removing the factory spoiler, was removed because it was causing massive rust buildup
because of the freezing weather I fixed it quickly with spray foam insulation to stop water leaks
passenger door must have window lowered to close
signs of engine knock are becoming apparent (fruck)
130k so not that bad (should run to at least 210)
wiring on my car frucked from previous owners alarm job so i'm constantly replacing fuses and bulbs
an O2 sensor that refuses to move out of my headers so I can replace them (will have to be cut off)
steering wheel that when has a little mosture on it turns my hands and pants black
no rear defroster
A/C works but even with new belt the damn thing screams
no radio
have an S13 so when ever it we get snow or sleet I have to make sure my headlights pop open
bad rips in leather seats (driver and passenger)
hole in carpet interior close to drivers seat (about 2 inches big)
just had to replace my entire steering rack
other than that it's in great shape and I love it!!

4. Windshield has this one crack that is like perfectly aligned with where the driver usually looks forward
5. Is your power antenna broken? Mine isn't even THERE. All I have is the hole.
6. Speaking of, there's like 3847297843 holes in the trunk from previous owner's rear wing experimentation (thus part of #1 above)
7. Drop drop drop oil spots in my garage
8. Needs a new steering wheel - if I grip the top part long enough, parts of it will magically stick to my hand
9. I own a 95 Zenki, so "naturally" my headlights are yellowish during the day.
10. Moonroof has a 1/4" gap in the rubber moulding that lets rain drop perfectly centered onto the armrest in the center console.
11. Clutch pedal is squeaky
12. Spare tire wheel is yellow (to match the headlights?) Wait - that's normal. Nevermind

front lip needs repainting
paint is fading a little on the upper part of the rear quarter panels
busted speakers
