Default Have you guys had trouble with your rex over the years?

Just wanted to see if you guys have had problems with your crx and what they were, here are mines.

bought from a auction, body was perfect, 2300 bucks but last ******** hurt the engine:
Camshaft broken, hole in cylinder head!

some others i did
timing belt broke on me on the highway=1bent valve
engine overheated during a run=killing 1 cylinder needed new engine
rear caliper rusted out
warped rotors
alternator died on me last week

Stupidity ones:
rust to rear wheelwell
went burn out happy=4 new tires
cheaped out on exhaust=rusted out pacesh*tter/tip falling off
2 broken headlights for driving behind trucks on highway (i hate those bastards! )
2 holes in my rear hatch from my riceboy days and my touring spoiler (a special thanks goes to the bastards that tried to rip the sucker off my car by just pulling it off,i dont know if i should thank you since you did cause me to take it off and therefore ending my ricer days since you did crack the thing in half but didnt manage to take it off) (screw you!)
Dent in rear compartment behind seats! (thanks to the fat assed b**otch i had to carry after my friend drove her car into a river, i would like to publicly thank you for the huge dent your *** put in my rear compartment, it took me 2 hours gettin the cardboard to bend back to its regular shape, it still wont close normally, THANKS FAT ***!)
Thinking stock 10 year old cardboard speakers can really pump=2 tore to hell front speakers.
old cd player i bought for 20 bucks that would skip and not play my cds+punch=broken cd player.
missing wheelwell + too cheap to buy new one=3 sets of burned out sidemarker bulbs.
Crack head mechanic leaning on radiator to check spark plugs=cracked radiator and horrible smell=new radiator.
Best Bye+cheap alarm+installation= alarm that chirps everytime it gets wet and it being burned by your engine because the bastards didnt bolt the siren in place very well.
too broke to get an alarm=2 broken passenger side windows

Now let me give you some advice on your rex so you can avoid the same mistakes i made:
Do not put spoilers on a hatchback unless they were designed to fit on your car! (this goes out to all you ricers!)
Do not fit more than 2 people in your crx, the rear little compartment is not strong enough to hold peoples weight! if you wanted to drive peoples asses around then become a taxi driver.
Treat your car as if it were your baby, if you punish it, it will punish you by causing you to walk or ride the bus.
Do not get jack sh*t installed by best bye, those asses dont know jack about installing anything, they will treat your car like it is a piece of garbage and do a half assed job, free installation, no thank you!
Check parts regularly and check for wear, heres a little tip people, if a part moves and its in constant use, 9 times out of 10 it will wear out.
Do not be cheap and get low quality parts, they will die at the worst time and cause you to walk your *** home! or cause you to drive around with your car
A. Making weird noises
B. Ugly looking rusted parts
C. spending more cash to get the part you shouldve gotten in the first place

But hey its all a learning experience right? we live and we learn, except for the fat *** girl and the punk *** ricers, and the thiefs that tried to break into my car you can all just suck a fat one. Sorry to sound so angry but im venting here, i actually feel much much better now.

Now come on CRX bruthas and sistas, share your troubles and stories. Release the anger.
