My Complaints

1) The antenna has a shadow that at certains times of the day causes a distraction on the dash board.
2) The radio has too many commercials
3) There is no engine under the hood
4) It won't stay under 60 mph on the freeway
5) I am stressed because the dealer told me to come back in 10,000 miles for the first service and oil change; it should be sooner.
6) People talk to me when I am with the car; I have lost my anonymity
7) My other two cars seem to just sit while I pay taxes and insurance on them
8) My hair gets messed up when the windows are down.

Thats all that I can think of at the moment..............

Well, except for the #8 (since I don't have hair anymore, I have many of the same complaints as you. Isn't life grand!

Bunch of whiners, the lot of you! What I don't like is all that cabin space. It's really bad for my claustrophobia.

I hate that the things I throw on the back seat get mixed up with the things I put in the boot.

RE: #1 - thanks for mentioning that; I noticed it a while back and for the first couple of minutes could not figure out where the shadow was coming from. I guess the short antenna mod cures it.

Re 1) - Yup. Get that too.

Re 8) - trying to figure out a fix for that one. I love having the windows open (so I can respond to the curious lookers), but it's hard on the highway at 70-75 mph. At least my hair isn't on fire!

Love my little Poppy!!!!

RE 8 - Apparently hair nets are all the rage these days, works for both men and women, that might solve the problem A shower cap might do too!
