Even know your car may look perfect, do you all have a mental list of all the things that are wrong with your car?

Thanks

I've got this well annoying squeak that comes from the dash, and i've tried a million different ways to get rid of it, but always comes back, i've made my peace with it after 6 months of taking the dash in and out...

... but what really gets me is no one else can hear it!!

my motor has a few very fine dints on the bodywork... I got paranoid that someone was terrorising my motor.... being a "medical man" I diagnosed it with chickenpox!
My Missus asked me one time "what are you thinkin about" (I hate that question).... so I told her the truth...
I was working out the most efficient way of exiting the building if there was to be a sudden disaster like an earthquake.

I've worked out though, that if I push the dash slighty, alas, the noise goes away...

... oh the joys of Japanese car ownership
