My list:
-Got a Scion tC (haha jk, maybe idk)

-Was installing sound deadening onto my hatch part and i forgot to take note of the holes for the plastic tabs, so when i tried to punch it back in all the tabs broke..so now its just being held up by 2 screws and by the top part. So now I am scared/lazy to remove it to replace the garnish because idk if i can put it back on lool.

-Taking out the fender liners for my wheels so it wont rub as much or eat them up..i pretty much owned 85% of the tabs in the process so idk if i can puts it back.

-I traded my oem 17's wheels and forgot to take my tpms out so now i just have the light on all the time and i dont i think its too much to go and get a new one to get registers and then install it on the tires.. maybe ill do it next time.

-While in the process of taking out my rear emblem to paint it, i scuffed a bit of paint around it (fou-kinn cheap ___ paint).. you cant see it from a far like from if your seeing it from your car, but you can see it closely.

-When I first had my first set of coils, Tein SS-P, I put everything all the way day and such..winter came around and I was coming out of my friends church and his friends wanted to go eat at ihop at like 12pm. And it was snowing and I thought i could pass this divider and i tried going on it in an angle..got stuck in that pile of snow (with my old 18 enkeis) for like 15 mins they tried pushing my car and it finally got out. (i was wondering how i got out though lol cuase i go out and the snow was covering up my side vents and half of the lower grill)

-one night around winter my hids blew so i drove around with high beams and good thing i got it from operatic cause i contacted him and got a replacement like the next day.

-Cory and his friend Fil helped install my old coils, Tein SS-Ps, and everything was going ok but then all the bolts were hard as hell to get out once they got into the suspension..so we waited there for like 30 mins just trying but nothing budged. So we waited even more so we can borrow someones air compressor and even then it took a while to take out the bolts with the compressor lol. I felt sorry

-First week of having the car, some saswhole in the parking lot of my school alerady put a dent in my quarter panel what the fizzle.

-Was washing my car and the hose i was using hit one of my brooms in the garage and fell on the car and made a dent.. LoL

1) got rear-ended by a guy who turns out to be a teller at the wells fargo bank i go to. got it fixed.

2) parked my car in the garage and somehow overnight, the car slid into the back of the garage. mom goes to work in the morning and opens the garage door to know that the door scraped my entire rear bumper. decided not to get it fixed because i was waiting for someone to rear end me.

3) a few months later, my coworker backs up into my car, damaging the rear bumper and hatch. got it fixed by her.

4) a few months later, some a-hole backs up into my car and left a nice dent and several cracks in to the rear bumper. no note left. decided not to get it fixed because i know someone would end up rear ending me again.

5) a few months later, an old lady rear ends me as we were getting on the freeway lol.

6) decided not to get it fixed because i needed the money and besides i know someone will end up rear ending me again. lol.

7) no one has rear ended me yet........still waiting.....

toyota tech drove my car up the ramp to get my oil changed and went up too fast, so my front bumper got caught on the ramp and it pretty much tore off. they paid for it.

Well all i got is a dented front bumper, huge scrape that took off all the paint on the rear bumper, and a dent in my driver side rear 1/4 panel! All hit and runs in parking lots and never any information left. None of it fixed yet cause that crap is expensive to fix.

let me my list of FAILS!!!

1. front struts blow out after two months of owning the car (not even dropped yet!)
2. intake bracket thing that bolts onto the motormount broke the whole pice to mount it onto the motor mount so now even with a new intake, it sits loose and rattles all the time
3. dropped the car on s-techs and upgraded the struts and shocks to trd and exactly 1 year later the front struts both blow out so i now have to deal with the loose noise and bottoming out till i get new struts.
4. had to replace front rotors twice! dont ask why...
5. had a set of falken hanabi wheels with locks, painted my stockies and swapped wheels so i could paint the falkens. i use the locks instead of the oem lugs to put my stockies on, not noticing that the locks were 0.0000000000000000001cm smaller than the hole on the stock wheels so when i got to move my car, my passanger rear wheel slips out! luckly i stopped in time to where the rear quater panel was sitting on half of the wheel!! studs didnt break nor the locks, the freakin wheel just slipped out!!
6. on my way to work one cold morning, im half asleep and my front windshield is frosted. i say to myself i can drive ok (remember, im half asleep! not thinking straight!) and end up eating the curb right after i tell myself that! jack up half of the lip on the driver front and 1/3 of the lip on the rear...
7. driver door gets kicked in at a friends party... the guy responsible suffered some serious consiquences... the dented door scratched up my window that needs to be fixed to this day...
8. take my car to get painted molten bronze (copper orange color) and the idiots dont paint the side skirts right! my car was nbm so when you would look at it from the side it looked like it was a shadow but it was the blue showing...
9. driver door drops everytime it gets open cause of the amount of bondo that was used to fix the dent... the door was bondoed before that so you can imagine how heavy the door is..
10. take my car in for that whole 3rd gear thing, get the car back a month later and that same day im going to change intakes so i take off the dr wheel and a stud breaks loose due to the "mechanic" forcing the lug on there... a week later i see that the idiot puts the drain plug for the tranny hand tight so tranny fluid was dripping, AND they didnt put the rear motor mount main bolt all they way so there was a finger gaps length from the head of the bolt to where it should be sitting...
11. back to the bodyshop, they throw away all the plastic that goes under the bumper cause "it was messed up anyways" and my passangerside fog light gets filled wil water all the time now when it rains.
12. ex gf cracks my front windshield after i dump her... dumb _____! lol
13. seem to curb check the falkens everytime i drive so suspension is always out of alighnment... i drive on stock wheels now and never curb check those!

i know theres more to my FAIL list,... i just cant remember... lol

Less than 24 hours after buying it new, my 6-yo little brother decides to let the door swing into another car in a Sam's Club parking lot.

That was on Friday. It's now Sunday.
