[M3M3]

and...02s are NOT safe cars.  they are tin econoboxes that will not protect you, your passenger or your kids in the back seat when you get in a crash.

bottlecaps may suck, but..

 

BASKETWEAVES by far suck the most of any wheel made.  02, e21, e30, e36, e28, whatever.  they suck.

 

Basketweaves suck. 

They look like geriatric sadness. 

Leather pants on a 55 year old man.  Or woman.

They are dirty. 

They are often fake, or have fake fasteners on them, or hexagonal caps covering lugbolts.

Worst, they are inevitably gold painted.

 

Bottlecaps are wonderful for exactly 2 reasons:

A.They fit.  Stuff THAT in your stants thread.

II. They are still free.  So you can stuff some way out- of- date

tires on them and they will get that parts car that has no

wheels on it home.  They can then go onto the E30 parts car.

Or even the parts E21.  And then back in the shed until you 

need them again.

 

God forbid you actually DRIVE on them.

 

t

uses bottlecaps to store his E30 race car...

...because an E30 isn't a safe car either, and it's

light- years better than a 2002

Damn, I thought these leather pants of mine are cool. Guess I'll just use the leather to cover my dashboard.

I smell custom headliner in your future...

I know some rather hot women in their 50s...  At least one, anyway.  (She's sitting next to me, can't look too far.)

I think the basketweaves look pretty good.  I took my bottlecaps that I got for free to the recycler and got 40 bucks for them, THAT is the only thing bottlecaps are good for!

pretty sure you all could guess my opinion, so I'm just gonna leave this here... it's the only place it belongs:

 

(if it wasn't obvious....i think it's a hideous abomination  that must be stopped)

It will take awhile. Trying to strategize where the zipper and pockets will go.

Secret weed stash/storage? I doubt the cops would ever think to check a headliner...

Not sure that falls under the category of 'Unpopular 2002 Opinions'... I think most 02 owners would agree.

The only good shift knobs are the screw-on type and preferably without a roundel on it.

 

AND

 

The later style 2002 stock "dog dish" alloy wheels look like mini BOTTLE CAPS and therefore suck.

(so, sell me your set ?)

I think roundies look best stock with hub caps. 

Flares don't look right on most street 02s.

I like US turn signals and bumper over riders. No desire to go to Euro turn signals.

 

Also with Paul T.... door buzzer is cool!

The E21 was a better car

[vinceg14]

All M10's should be turbo

1976 California 2002 are better suited for EV.
