It's not most of us; only a select few...

I actually thought this was interesting. Although I agree with not using alcantara for high wear areas (although I do love the blue alcantara seats), alcantara trim in low traffic areas should hold up well, and it does dress up an otherwise uninteresting area of the interior.

This wasn't ruthless. The response to "Chinese Fuzzy door stickers" was benign at best..

You haven't seen anything yet..

@Viffermike
harma24 With respect, I wouldn't make that assumption and thereby speak for most 2Addicts falsely. Besides, it's the same in politics and on forums: the vocal majority rules ...

stevenvillatoro : This 2Addicts thread is a must-read for you. We basically shame a member into leaving 2Addicts. It's uproariously funny, and indicative of some of the 'chaff' we 2Addicts vets regularly deal with. We're a quite helpful lot unless you prove yourself lazy, clueless, entitled, or any combination of those three. ;P

Wow, I hate you for linking that and myself for reading that, lol. That guy/thread was irritating on so many levels.. Further proof you can't fix stupid and the world has too many of those.

I've only had time to get through a dozen or so posts and need to get on with my day, but am already on the edge of my seat to find out how far the flogging eventually went. Thanks for the entertaining link, hehe.

I'm pretty sure the ghost of the owner of a finely bathed m235i with a new engine is still lurking around these parts somewhere

He has a few usernames. The funny thing is that his questions are so dumb and his writing so distinctive it only takes a few words before you figure out who it is.

I sold him my HK speakers which are now waterlogged. You think he's bad in posts you can't even imagine dealing with him one on one.

Had I known what I would be dealing with I would have just thrown the speakers in the garbage and smashed my head in the car door a few times.

Sorry, OP...

Just curious, though, how popular has your suede insert product been honestly?

Made my wife crawl in and out the windows tonight, because I'm still ashamed to open the doors, since I have no alcantara "down there".
