So the convertible roof stopped working, my door panel fell off, the paint was ruined, all of the interior ABS plastic was scuffed beyond belief (later I found it to be too brittle to be reused), the headlights didn’t match, and then the headliner was resting on my head while driving. My wife said it was time for a new car so I did this instead.

I have no idea why there are so many duplicates but when I tried to fix it, it posted more. Help.
