Why cars are better than wives

[sandcrabsailor]

Ok, this will be somewhat lengthy, but I gotta get it out there:I am a US sailor, 27 years old, somewhat recently returned from a year tour with my unit in Iraq. I've been deployed for about 6 of the last 9 years (not an exaggeration). My wife, being the kind and understanding woman that she is, does what many Navy wives do when their husbands are gone.I started regularly receiving rather explicit pictures from her current boyfriend (another sailor) a couple weeks after I landed in country. She and he managed to trash my dialed in Miata, bought a well used 1993 240sx SE fastback.....in my name.....for $7000.....nearly destroyed my bike, stole and/or sold all of my tools (about $4000 nearly all craftsman), spend every dime I made and was making (about $35000 total), max the credit card ($5000), and demolish or sell just about everything I have, including my cats who were almost dead from neglect and disease when I returned.Oddly enough, she was on her third "boyfriend" of that deployment when I got back, and he was in the process of moving his stuff into that trashed apartment that used to be mine. I got presented with a list of the guys she's been with that she can remember since we started dating, a bill for the rent, an demand that I vacate, and another demand for divorce with alimony.Why am I here? After I found myself a place to live, got the cats stable again, got some basic supplies and civilian clothes, I bought myself a 2001 BMW z3, a car I've been wanting since they first came out. I figured I should have one good thing, right?. My wife, deciding that I wasn't allowed to have that, sabotaged and generally trashed the 240 (the one she bought for about $4000 over bluebook, in my name) and returned it to me. I have to maintain a security clearance, so I kept making the payments so as not to take the hit on my credit. Bye Bye Bimmer........So....now I have a 1993 240sx SE, 5 speed, running only because I happened to have a decent friend down here with some tools he was willing to lend me. The car has no radio, no heater, no back seat, smells like cigarettes and sex, bald tires, 3 decent cylinders, nasty blowby, a leaky exhaust, one working headlight, a leaky sunroof, horrible wobble and camber in the front, a tendency to drift, bad motor mounts, fading paint, dented front fenders, a slowly failing clutch, dangerously worn brakepads, etc.......I still owe about $5000 on it.As much of an evil b**** she turned out to be, my (soon to be ex) wife did choose a good platform to trash, and I've decided as a final F*** YOU to bring the 240 to its potential glory. Besides, its not like I'm going to be able to afford another car anytime soon, right?Basically what I'm looking for here is a little commiseration, maybe a story or two of how you've kept a 240 in worse shape out of the scrapyard, and some encouragement. I'll post pics as soon as I can borrow a camera. For those of you who have read this far, thanks. For anyone in the military, BE CAREFUL!

aww man. you should definitely keep the 240 man. As you said, make a queen out of it as a final F U to her. i hope she's not getting much out of the divorce. im pretty sure once you can prove to a judge that she is a cheating wench you'll probably be able to get rid of her and keep whatsoever little it sounds like you have left. i don't know how divorces go but i hope to God she gets nothing from you. And do keep us updated with whatever little you do to the car.

[S13_love]

Wow.

[samxini]

Damn man that really sucks.Best of luck to you and your new 240.

[drewce]

holy f*** man sorry to hear that s*** id start f***ing up her s*** 1 way or another. wow man sorry to hear that again!

[Jerid]

May I have an address in which I can find this succubus leach blood-sucking female, so that I may stab her?

Otherwise, I wish the best to you and your 240. Please get the best out of that car.

[Dire91]

That is beyond f***ed up Teddy.Good luck with the 240 bro, that would be awesome to show up to court in a bangin a** S13 and show it in her face.

[sprintman]

Holy s***.

x10good luck with the 240 bro! thats totally f***ed up!

[1sikS13]

If i were you, i would forgive her. Take her back and promise a happy ever after. Then the next time it comes to naughty time in the bedroom, smash the light on the end table and proceed to f*** her with its jagged edges. Stupid b****. Keep on keepin on man, surprised you havent killed this women yet. I would have.

[nitsujvg]

san diego.. damn if you were closer I'd totally help you fix up that stuff. sucks to hear man.

turn it into a beast/queen like everyone said. hell, there's a whole mint black interior for sale in LA i think for $500.check classifieds.

[TJcars2]

Sue that slut for everything she spent and have her thrown in jail for adultery. It's illegal to have sex with someone by law when your married.

I'd beat that hoes a** and shove her boyfriends in a pit with all they're s*** and burn them. They need to diaf.

Best of luck dude. Hope everything works out.

[Mangid]

Damn shipmate, you got hosed.

[RustspecS13]

Um DAMN.

I have no idea what to say other then good luck and watch the classifieds, its CA there's always s13 stuff cheap.

Good luck!!

I'm also in the navy.... And you really just f*cked my night all up. Like that post almost made me drop a tear, thinking about whats gonna happen after this shore duty.

I feel deeply sorry for you.

Now I'm scared crapless, that my wife will cheat on me, wreck my 350z, or worse yet wreck one of my 240's, or pawn of random items ie: Laptop, Canon Eos Camera, or worse yet my HK. FML...

And to think i clicked in here expecting to say that why does one have to be better than the other when you can have both, I'm down for a divorce now.

[JustDriftMore]

wow thats terrible. what a b****. i can promise you sir that a 240 will not treat you like that if you treat it right.

[Cody240]

Pardon to all what I am about to say but HOLY H TITTY F***ING CHR*ST again sorry to all but that's all I could think of when I finished reading this. Man I feel for you I have been screwed over by people but nothing like that, this bites hardcore anyway don't fret about the 240 these cars can be turned from junk to (and sorry for the pun but) Funk with little more than an imagination and some elbow grease oh and some money of coarse plus they grow on you after awhile. Besides you wouldn't be able to shove it in that chick's face after you make it cherry if you kept the beemer plus she may have come to your place one night and F*cked that car up too. Good luck man and keep us posted cause I sure want to here about you smiting that bish.

I come on this sight every day for the past few months, I have never found a reason to create an account until just now. i really wish in some way i can help. my mom was just cheated on by my step dad while she was away to Florida for her fathers FUNERAL... then when we got back, he asked for a divorce, i was this | | close to beating his a**, but hes a lawyer so i held it in... me and my mom now live in a new house that is completely paid off, with no worry of insurance for a whole year, she was out of work for 7 years to raise me and his 2 children, and remains out of work. but we should be fine for a few more months

we ripped that man dry for his actions, and i advise you to do the same. or at least try my friend.

any way, enough of my story, i just needed to tell you how sorry i am, and i literally teared up after reading this, :'(

if theres anything i can do man, i have a few spare parts (although s14/sr20) to make this car run right to shove in her face please let me know.

good luck

[Hoffman5982]

wow. Im really sorry man. Theres gotta be some way you can take her to court and get everything back. I seriously would have murdered her, no questions asked. just slit her throat and walk away

[mattblancarte]

[jessetang]

Man, you got d!ck over big time!!!

Hope you do not have to spend more money on anything, or better, getting something from your soon to be ex wife since she violate her contract with you (you guys' marriage). Best of luck, man...

[Veriest1]

I'm sorry but the first thing I thought was Judge Judy. If you have proper documentation and such it would be epic to run her into the ground on national TV. You could probably come up with something after the divorce like if she tries to trash your car after you get it fixed or something too.

This really sucks to hear. Wish I was closer to lend a hand.

[GoTRicEo0]

agreed ^Its amazing how things like this happen to honest working people. If you ever in town.. shoot me an email. I'll help out :]

keep with the 240 and happiness will come...

in november i bought a ka24de from a friend of mine with all accessories for $250... and during that time i bought bride brix I for $300 for both w/ s13 sliders, and bought some widebody fenders for the rear...

so i had my nice new seats and overfenders to cover up my ginormus dent on the drivers side quarterpanel...

im on my way to school about 35 miles away thinking about how sick my build will be and i start hearing a weird sound but didnt think anything about it... then i start going uphill on the freeway and my mph went down buy my rpm stayed the same so i knew it wasnt the clutch... so now my 240 is peg legging down the 210 freeway so i get off an exit early and the car stalls... so i crank it and roll the window down and when it starts you hear a clack clack clack clack... so i turn right barely being able to start rolling in first an pull into the closest parkinglot... and stall into the closest spot...

smoke is accumulating through under the hood, friction smoke, and im not too mad it was surprising it lasted this long with the way it was running... so i call a tow truck and decided i was hungry, so i lock my doors, close them, check my pockets, look in the window, and my keys are still in the ignition!!!

this day sucked pretty bad, doesnt compare to yours but you wanted a 240 story... now im rebuilding that motor i bought before i blew the motor, im turboing it and am hoping to get it running by this weekend

[MyNISMO314]

wow where do i begin?!..the way i am and the temper i have i honestly believe 199% i would have chopped that b**** up into peaces and feed to my cats!! and no im not a psychopath i can just get very angry...keep the 240 man buy a good running KA if you cant afford a SR20 man and just make it reliable and decent looking...parts can come cheap if you know where to look and this website is one of those places...if you were on duty in another f***ing country and that **** was doing all of those things, you as a government employee have proof that those expenses couldnt have came from you...get bank statements and times of the s***, sew the f***ing dealer that sold the car to her without you...GET A LAWYER!!! take that b****es whole life away and have her live under the f***ing highway overpass you get off everyday to go to your sweet a** new house/apartment with your fresh 240 with a sexy b**** in the passenger seat that looks waaayyyy better then her...i hope that b**** gets AIDS from all those motherf***ers shes been with and dies slowly from inside...dont ever trust a woman like that again man especially if youre not around her or close to her to notice wtf shes doing!!...but wow this is a movie script that you wrote man...try selling your story and make millions and rub it in her face how successful you are because of what she has done to you...wow if you were here id let you have a spare KA man

[charat]

did you file a suit against her? do it now! my buddy is a lawyer and he's right here next to me. he says you can get all your money back and more. (she provided a list, proof of damage, etc. etc.) he says you might be able to get compensation for "emotional damages too"... i would try and go to court with this if i were you.

Holy Acid rain

[turbotofu]

Wow and I thought my 240 was bad. Bring that 240 back and shove it in her face, maybe sue her or something? Coldest b***h in the world, hopefully karma gets her real good.
