^ haha, seriously. she is a gold digger. but it's true love

I guess the minor interior rattles, but at high mileage thats expected. i also have a car that is 62 years old and if you want to talk about rattles! pssh

only thing i found that really bewildered me was the fact they riveted the spoiler bracket to the trunk

may have already been discussed, but I'm not about to read this old, long thread lol. I truly hate the suspension design that destroys the lbj's, I hate the cheap actuators they used, I hate they couldn't build a sound interior without the creeks and rattles, I hate the stupid "light" bulb in the glove box. I can't see ish with that bulb!

i guess i've been lucky, i haven't had any creeks or rattles in both my cars, though the handling is a bit too soft, but the car rides smooth so its a trade off.. Brakes on 400 isn't to good toward todays Standards but the 430 has a big master cylinder so brake feel is alot better.. and its a Money PIT for sure.. (bittersweet)

I hate how small the cup holders are.
I also hate that the wipers can't be popped up so that the wiper blades don't get destroyed during the hot summer months.

Don't like the fact, that I can't click a door-located lock switch, then close the doors and have the car locked. It worked like this on Acura Legend and Ford Taurus back in early '90s.

Also an in-car trunk open button could be located more conveniently. Acura Legend had it below the driver's door armrest and I loved it.
