A bird flew straight into my hood while I was going 20mph down a street. I stopped and it hovered in front of the windshield for a second before it flew away. Left a sizable splatter mark were it hit cause it was drizzling out.

I'm concerned, what is the "trunk cancel button" or whatever was mentioned in the original post? I curbed my car today. And got a ticket for speeding and an unsafe lane change the other day. and got pulled over for exhibition of speed today.

Didn't brake on the inside of the turn - I'd taken that particular bit of road many times before in my previous car, and now that I was past the 1000 mile mark I've been having a bit more fun putting it through its paces. First time around that in the 86, and I was pushing harder than I had in my old car... as I reversed the steering direction to straighten up & try to merge onto the highway, I felt the back go a little wobbly and then the TC kicked in to keep it in line. But yes, very thankful for that - only time I'd turn TC off is on a control track or closed road.

Inside the trunk on the left side there is a button that enables/disables the trunk button (both key and dash button). If the dealer had left the button on or something in your trunk had hit it (like during spirited driving ), the only way to open the trunk is to use the key.

It's happened to a few people (like me), where you spend a couple minutes pressing the stupid Trunk button and nothing happens before you realize what's up.

Tried to tighten the retainer ring for my aftermarket fuel pump tighter. To keep it from continuing leaking. It made it worse. Then was going to the gym fell asleep getting dressed for it. Lol

So over the weekend, it looked like the pollen stopped/slowed down, so I spent a couple hours cleaning and waxed my car.

The next morning, the flowers were extra generous to my car. Dammit.

I neglected to put the silencer back in my Buddy Club Spec II exhaust last night.

When you have a hangover, that exhaust is very LOUD...

I turned onto a one way street (going the wrong way) then proceeded to get angry with people that were giving me dirty looks. Whatever.

I broke the clips on my sidemarkers when installing the JDM ones, even though I followed the DIY.
