What is busted

Rear wiper (it's completely missing the arm)
Rear window (died last week in a store parking lot, awesome.)
Rear Drivers side window
Sometimes it Vapor locks.... not sure why or how to fix this but I would LOVE to get that taken care of. It sucks. Especially cause of how hot it has been here lately.

My rear anti-lock brake light stays on,
not sure where the leak is, but I have to add some coolant every couple days,
and the dome light doesn't work....

That's about it I think, not to bad!!!!

front sway bar mounts are shot, so the front end squeaks every time i hit a bump. And the serpentine belt is loose(?) so it squeals when i shift, give it a lot of gas, and when i turn the a/c on when its been sitting in the hot sun for a while. and finally a broken headlight.

-power mast antannae
-rear cupholder
-HVAC bulb burnt out
-cracked windshield

The windshield and power antannae happened on my holidays just last week, and I'm switching to a Taco whip style when I fix it. The windshield might wait until spring, the crack doesn't seem to be getting any worse.

Mother Effer... Yesterday the transmission fluid cooler hose started leaking. Pretty sure that the hose touched the muffler and it melted the coating. Luckily it seems like a pretty simple fix.... but we'll see.
