Yeah I came out unhurt, thanks CEB1993. I suppose in a way it did me a favour because the car was a heavy fuel thirsty machine which had a inline 6 4.0L engine and since then I've had more economical 4 cylinder cars.

Wow, never seen a warning light for low windshield washer fluid before. 

i drive a golf cart

Here's a picture of all the warning lights illuminated in my Jetta during ignition.  The Germans design their cars to be well maintained and high tech enough to alert the driver whenever attention is needed to keep the car performing well and running reliably.  The lights indicate:

EPC, Electronic Power Control
Green Shoe, Press the brake pedal to shift from park
Low Oil
Overheating Engine
Worn Brake Pads
Low Windshield Wiper Fluid
Low Fuel
Check Engine
ESP, Stability Control active
ABS, Antilock Brakes Active or malfunctioning
Incorrect Key, Car will not start with this key
BRAKE, Parking brake engaged
Low battery
Fasten Seatbelt

Have a lot of fun in it?

Mine has some of those lights. Out of interest when you start your car does all the guages go to max then back to their home position? Mine seems to do that by default. I don't have a picture of my dashboard warning lights (I thought I did) but did find one of the steering wheel lit up by monochromatic 90W SOX street lamp nearby.

Hey Mercurylamps, the gauges in my VW Jetta do not sweep all the to the max and back upon starting the car.  That must be a Subaru feature since I noticed that my friend's Subaru Outback does that with the gauges during ignition.  All of the warning lights in my car do turn on for a second during ignition to make sure they all work and allow the internal computer to scan the car for any maintenance problems.  I do have a pesky "check engine" light on right now that indicates a busted catalytic converter.  I'm not too concerned because the car still runs perfectly and I have not noticed any unusual emissions.  I would rather save money in case I have a more debilitating problem such as new brake pads or a broken timing belt.  Stuff like that takes priority over the catalytic converter.

My parent's 2013 Toyota Corolla does that behaviour with the gauge needles upon startup. Mine (2004) does not. I believe the lights that light up upon startup are for a 'lamp test' function.

I had a broken catalytic converter that I replaced quite quickly as it broke at the exhaust pipe fitting. Since the catalytic converter is before the muffler, it made for quite a loud car that probably wouldn't pass the safety inspection (which has to be done every two years). It was quite an expensive problem to fix, so I know about your hesitation.

yea man.... probably my favorite thing to drive right beside a lawnmower... XD ... which gives me an idea GOLFMOWER!

Try adding a petrol engine into it. I wanted to do that when I was a kid to make a home made go-cart.

lol that'd be a fun ride... i might actually do that one day (not anytime soon) but one day....
