other What's Your Favorite 2002 'quote?'

[mo02]

Thanks for all the posts guys, some were fairly amusing.  I guess the challenge/fun part will be adding new memories to the chapter in all of our lives titled 'BMW 2002.'

 

Cheers,

Listening to two guys talk about the car.

Guy #1:  "What year do you think that is?"

Guy #2:  "It says right on it 2002 (in an you must be an idiot tone of voice)"

"What year is your Corvair?"

"Sweet 510 dude!"

Some time ago someone posted this article:

This has to be one of my favorite 2002 quotes, and it is one that I can relate to:

"It's hard to describe the satisfaction of realizing that the thing you've always wanted is twice as nice as the thing you've always wanted."

A couple days ago I was talking with a guy about old cars and told him I have 76 BMW 2002, then he asked

"is this the car that seats has horse hair in it?"

Yup

Back in 97' when i did alot of illegal canyon runs at azusa canyon rd. Kid in a riced civic after getting a beat down by my 76. " man i'm selling this and getting that og classic." Glowing in pride as i recall.

_{And my favorite, from my then-girlfriend, when she saw my new '02 in 1972:}

_{"It's cute."}

That's the same thing my mom said when I sent her a picture of my car.

Friends have the same reaction when we go for a ride... One of them has a '13 Audi S4 and is jealous of my car - haha. For a car with ~100 horsepower, it flies. Just wait until it's running optimally with a new motor.

Everytime I take a new friend for a ride I am sure to take at least one corner all out. If it's raining, I'll hang the rear end out. 

 

Yesterday I had a new lady in for a spin, and it was raining so I brought her to a beautiful roundabout near my school. 

 

"Hang on"- I said.

 

"Why?... MEEP!" -She responded, excitedly, as the rear end came around. 

 

I proceeded to romp around like that for a few minutes. When I finally relaxed a bit and chuckled, I asked if she was okay, considering how she had not said anything the entire time. 

 

"I'm... good... *smiles, deep breath*... Holy Shit!"

 

blah blah blah, convo convo convo, then I got laid. Heck, she even laughed at my "what do the rain and me have in common?" joke. 

 

I tell you, these cars have magical powers. 

 

It needs to rain more when cute girls are in my car. 

 

 

Another time... first drive to bear mountain after getting the car. I was trying to keep up with joel (jrkcoupe), and was doing decently well despite the ploom of blue smoke my car was producing and the massive brake fade. I came around a corner and he was gone. Later when I questioned him, he responded with something along the lines of

 

"my tires were still cold"

Bear Mountain? Are you in CT or CA?

[simonr]

I like to tell people "Its faster than I think it is" That gets as many funny looks as the car does. Then I open up the hood.

Bear Mountain? Are you in CT or CA?

New York! 

[76ohtwo]

Cool. Are you in the Nor'east 02ers?

When my dad bought our '02 new in 1971, he said he had been looking at three BMWs at Universal Motor Sales in Butler, PA, and came home with a different car than he had planned.

At the time he was a bachelor still living with his parents. He pulled into the driveway in his new car and walked into the kitchen to find my teatotaling 4'11" spitfire of a grandmother at the stove. "Well, did you get the blue one?" she asked.

"It was sold," he replied.

"So you got the red one," she announced with finality--and probably a little chagrin that he would be driving such a "loud" car.

"Something wasn't quite right with it," he said with a smile.

My grandmother's eyes widened. She practically sputtered. "You didn't buy the ORANGE one, did you?"

Yep, Grandma, he sure did...

I hear "I love the color!" as much as anything.

 

Often followed by, "is that original?"

 

They had a nice pallet to choose from.
