HAHA I had an 89 Bronco before my B5. I changed the oil and when I tried to pull the dip stick out to check the level, the handle snapped off and the dip stick went bye bye.

As far as things that have never gone wrong with my car, the trusty gas gauge has never failed me, it faithfully goes down, down, down. LOL

My hood latch and fuel door have yet to fail me, and the cup holders under the console, as useless as they may be, are still there.

Then you must not really use your arm rest, because all I can fit under there while I'm driving is a can of soda.
