today i was installing my new light bulbs, and man i just hate doing that, especially the pasenger side, thats is probably the one thing i hate doing the most, coz it is extrememly hard to take that bulb out, and put it back in and try putting that freaken halogen bulb in wihtout touching it(if you touch it you'll be changing that lightbulb again within the next week).
so what don't yous people like about your car?

I removed the battery when changing the passenger side bulb to change it easier. Battery could be located a little farther. What else I don't like? The location of optispark. Also spark plug wires are PITA to change.

yea
the spark plugs are a pain in the ass too
especially if you run the wire too close to the header the thing will melt.

i think i actually paid like $500 for my tune up,
coz the cops those bastards wanted to beat the sh*t out of my car, so they burned the distributor which costs like $300 alone.

I paid like $500 for parts only for my complete tune up - optispark, waterpump, msd coil, taylor wires, plugs, f-body egr, o2 sensors, lt4 knock sensor, pcv valve. It seems that LT1 parts cost 2 times more than "regular" parts.

once i got it from the dealer and got it to my shop i had to pay $1200 that included the tuneup

The only thing I hate is changing the plugs and cap on my Chevy products

oh
the door handles on the caprices suck too, most of the time they rip out, and there isn't really a good fix for that.
unless ofcourse you put washer on the screws.
i think even the impala door hadles rip out sometimes
or was i misinformed?
