That I don't like to sit too close to the steering wheel, but I'm on the short side so I have to really stretch my leg to shift

There's this high pitched whine noise above 30-40 MPH that I've been told is coming from the tires due to something called "cupping". The problem is that there's plenty of tread life left so there's no real reason to replace the tires yet. It drives me crazy to hear it and everybody else just says "it's not too bad".

Also, rock chips in the front fascia and on the hood.

Also, there's a scratch on my chrome shifter bezel.

when it was painted about 10 years ago, the guy did a B- job. It was cheap, so cant complain much, but i cant wait till I save up enough to have it painted again.

that the gear shifter is too far forward in my 04. The newer models, the fact that the steering wheel isnt telescopic. I can get the seat back where I want it to be for leg room, but then you can't reach the **** wheel!

1) That it is so hard to clean the inside of the rear window
2) That Al & Joe are so jealous of my ride

Thought of some more:
The temp guage is really reading cyl head temp and is an idiot gauge
No oil pressure gauge
I regularly pop the trunk when I think I am disabling traction control (idiot driver error)
