Well, I hate that I'm so damn nit-picky about little things, and those little things that bother often cause me to spend money on an otherwise good-working rig. And yes, I agree that no cupholders suck. Especially with a 5-speed.

even so, im on 33s with stock gears, and i get 18-20 and i live in the mountains

Those worn bushings only cost about $15 from the dealership. I know, because I just got some.

BLUE paint and blue interior ... cup holders, my toyotas have a tendency to burn oil a lot.

First, the holes are too small to hold drinks that are sold in stores today.

Second, it blocks your HVAC controls and drips condensation all over the dash and radio.

third, it blocks the HVAC vent, which is a two fold problem. If I have a cold drink in the morning, my heater heats the drink up and it blocks cool air on hot days.
but on the good note , it also keeps the coffee warm in the winter...

No, that's about right. Looks like you've lost about 5 mpg, and 22RE autos only got 15 city when new. Or am I just rationalizing?

Seat belt tensioner. 4" front speakers. And the complete LACK of cup holders as well.
But then again Our 1992 $45,000 BMW 535i doesn't have cup holders either.

No cup holders, but I just shove it between the seat and center console.
Seat belt, 'nough said.
Stupid 4.10 gears and auto hubs.
Not being able to shift into fifth if I'm driving into the wind.
But having a sfa and an original uncracked dash make up for it.

Finding a steering wheel cover that would fit correctly was a bitch... Seat covers, as well... mats, too! Having large feet makes it hard to shift sometimes with my sweet Mossy Oak mats.

My ugly blue interior.

The sagging rear bumper...

How hard it is to shift from 4L back to 2WD, unless you put it in reverse first.

The fact that I know I have to sell it when I have kids... : (

I hate that I can't give her the attention she needs till for a couple of months. In the next two months I'm closing on my first house, my first child is due and I'm taking over as executive chef of one of the biggest restaurants in town..

Am I the only one that hangs cheapo cupholders from my glove box?

Haha!
