engine and drivetrain Drove my 02 today for the first time in a LONG time..

After changing the oil, and rewiring the coil, and turning the engine over a million times () to get fuel to the carb, I got her started. Today, I remembered, again, why I bought the car in the first place 12 years ago... To this day, it also still amazes me how fun and fast these cars are. I thought about selling it, just for the simple fact that I never drive it. But after today, I'm thinking more on the lines of keeping it forever. I figure I'll NEVER get my money back from what I have in it. Thats fine, thats a given!!! I must say the 5spd trans and 3:90 diffy make it much more fun. So, for anyone else on this board that has a running/driving 2002, and that doesnt drive it much, drive it more is all I can say. Over-and-out..... Lyle T. in NC.....

1973 BMW 2002 (street car)

1970 VW Westfalia (bought for $4.20) (camper)

1994 'Yota 4Runner (4 wheel drive)

3 rides, all different, all for different purposes.....

Had almost the exact same experience today after pulling my '69 out of winter storage today, and whole-heartedly agree.

but yes, people say these cars arent fast anymore but thats untrue, theyre defently quick and with noone around and no eye on the speedo it seems just as fast as new cars. amazes me everytime.
