First World problems

    I posted in the "Post a pic of your car" thread the other day, I just got a new car and I've got a First world problem...


    My sunglasses don't fit in the sunglasses holder:eek:


    Apart from that it fairly rocks, never had a proper brand new car before so all is good.


    Anyone got any similar first world problems they'd like to share?

    My wife's sunglasses also don't fit.

    I suggested not having those oversized "gaga-esque" sunglasses, as mine fit fine.

    As you said... first world problems :D

    Mine was a functioning AUX port on my CMax's radio, but now wire/input socket with it.
    Had to buy it an fit it myself, I'm telling you, them where tough times, not having an AUX port for my mp3 player!
    Certainly not a problem that features high on the agenda in Chad, Nairobi or Namibia, I'm sure!

    I hate that about a car; dummy buttons on the dash are only there to tease you with the features you could have had :mad:

    Thankfully my current car has buttons everywhere :pac:

    My cup holders in the Focus don't hold cups when the car is moving. The chassis must be rotten at this stage with all the coke I spilled:mad:

    My car did actually have it in as its a jap import but the previous owner whipped it out. Wonder how much it would cost to get it put back in. Oi Nissan doctor i have a project for you!

    I hear you!
    One of my previous Fords had the two cupholders right beside, in fact they where even partially merged. This means that only on will hold a beverage at a time, it it physically impossible to wedge two drinks in there.
    The designer must have come up with that one on a Monday morning.

    I hate having to wait for the leather seats to heat up on a cold morning. It's such an inconvenience.

    Information display supports split screen functionality, however won't let me have radio stations listed on one side and sat nav map on the other at the same time.

    Sometimes I wonder if there's any point to getting out of bed in the mornings... :(

    Every time I go for a drive the car uses petrol and then I have to replace it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,030 ✭✭✭Jimbob 83


    MK1 Octavia's cup holder also sucks :(

    Worst is the ashtray cover though with randomly hops up when you are driving over a bump and flings ashes everywhere :p

    I have no aircon in my mx5 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 817 ✭✭✭Mr Magners


    I just need to add that my car also doesn't have lumbar support. I'm going to bed now and I might just never get up again.

    Why would I bother when I don't have something to support my lumbars!
