Even know your car may look perfect, do you all have a mental list of all the things that are wrong with your car?

Thanks

Lol, I worry about rust all the time. Wanna know how to cure it....I have had one and they do work.

Military use them for under water pipelines and ships etc. High quality manufacturer by HP and others.

RustStop Electronic rust protection and rust prevention.

I've got this well annoying squeak that comes from the dash, and i've tried a million different ways to get rid of it, but always comes back, i've made my peace with it after 6 months of taking the dash in and out...

... but what really gets me is no one else can hear it!!

my motor has a few very fine dints on the bodywork... I got paranoid that someone was terrorising my motor.... being a "medical man" I diagnosed it with chickenpox!
My Missus asked me one time "what are you thinkin about" (I hate that question).... so I told her the truth...
I was working out the most efficient way of exiting the building if there was to be a sudden disaster like an earthquake.

I've worked out though, that if I push the dash slighty, alas, the noise goes away...

... oh the joys of Japanese car ownership
