Where do I start...

Clutch
Front End Seals
Motor Mounts - got 'em, need to install 'em
Balance Shaft 180* out of balance/belt covers chipped and cracked
Mysterious Brake Fluid Leak - can't find it, but the fluid level keeps dropping
Mysterious Fuel Leak - can't find it, but I sure can smell it!
Mysterious Turn Signal Relay Melting Problem - gone through 3 relays so far

I'll end it there, although I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on...

1. Mysterious Brake Noise that no Mech can ever hear, must be in my head!
2. A/C Leak and summer is coming
3. Anti-Lock light that only come on when I am by myself in the car, and no-one else can ever see...

Here are mine:

1) Still have my occasional "Check engine" light upon startup even after rebuilding my fuel injectors
2) Suspension feels loose - upgrade might be in order
3) Fix small oil leak that drips right on downpipe to create a wonderful scent for the interior of the car

A/C nonfunctional
P/S leaks (disconnected)
Dent in a front fender... before that happened it was that I need to install the new O2 sensor that's sitting on my shelf.

1. Runs hot, could be any number of reasons, tried some things and have many more to try. Bad TPS, Blown Headgastket, Bad O2 sensor, blocked Cat, or running lean due to clogged injectors.....
2. Belt covers seem to always have rubber dust in them, no matter how little I drive it.
3. Tied for third on my list Cracked oil pan/Starter makes a noise like someone threw a cat in the engine once it finishes cranking

1) replace sunroof gears. While waiting to get the car inspected last week, I intended on tilting the sunroof to get some air. I forgot I had the key at the first setting and retracted one of the arms too much.

2) Wash/wax it.

3) Change oil in a month or two.

Not too shabby, eh? <knocks on wood>

Well if we are getting all confessional:

1) Crunchy sunroof gears.
2) Steering pulls to the left.
3) Possible slow fuel leak at right rear. Gulp.....
4) Covered in cat footprints!
