My least favourite thing about my 2002

[PeterCS]

I love the car …. But i hate the SEATBELTS!!!

['76mintgrün'02]

why?

[2002Scoob]

Yah... I can think of a half dozen things before I come to the seatbelts as being an issue on my car. And hell, my back seat only has one for some reason... Not sure if that means I should be more frustrated or less...heh.

The least favorite thing about my 02 is pulling the heater box.

Things I hate about my car...

 

1. That my car still runs on dead dinosaurs and not electrons...

2. Fuel Economy with Side-Drafts

3. Consistent tuning with Side-Drafts

4. Why did I decide on Side-Drafts? Or does anyone for that matter? Oh yah... they look and sound cool. Should this be it's own number? probably not. 

5. The previous owner (should prolly be #2, but I'm not spending that much time on this post).

6. The cracked vinyl on the top of my rear seat from when a buddy jumped into it aggressively on a cold day.

 

.... Still fine with my seatbelts thou!

What year?  If you have an early one (68-69-early 70) with the spaghetti belts, I'm with ya.  The loop style belts used 70-71 were somewhat better, but still not as good as the inertia reel belts used from '72 on.  If you have those and they're not functioning properly, plenty of archive stuff on how to adjust 'em (the reel assembly must be absolutely vertical for them to function properly) and "Blue Devils" on the FAQ rebuilds the belt assemblies so they're good as new.  

 

If you have the earlier style, inertia reel belts can be made to work in their stead, even on the spaghetti belt cars.  I did that with my '69 years ago and they work just fine.

#1 Seat belts, why? Apparently the weave has opened up on the webbing or something and if I dont shave for a few days it catches whiskers and pulls them. Twink! ow! Frack!

I'm serious! Maybe its the geometry of the Sport S seats or maybe I just slouch but pisses me off!

The wife smugly says "just shave everyday" where's the fun in that?

Inertia reels in my 76.

#2 have to crank engine every time the car sits for a day to get fuel back in the carb. Yeah I know, need a spacer. Now that Rust Bucket is out of the garage I will bring Survivor in for the winter and give it some love and a carb insulator

I'm very attached to my car...especially when driving.

If you hate the seatbelts, then don't use them and rely on the air bags (or windshield) to keep you contained.

My least favorite thing about my 02 is that it lacks a companion 02 in my garage.

My least favorite thing about my 02 is that it's a '76 California car.

My most favorite thing is that it passes the bi-annual smog checks.

Hate is such a strong word😜

Have to say pretty much nothing this week… we are friends again🙄
