21 and in college. my 240 does not help when it comes to my money. I'd have way more money for stocks if I didn't blow alot of it before.

Even though I don't work on it too much anymore, I have no plans on selling it anytime soon.

I'll be 25 in 2 months. I've had my S14 for close to 7 years. There was a time when I thought I would keep this car forever. But now that I'm out of school, and starting a career, I'm starting to get a wandering eye. And it doesn't help when your girlfriend drives a B6 S4.

my dad broke his leg long time ago and used his crutch for the gas and his other leg for the clutch and brake.

One of my stock account is set up just for my hobbies; ie cars, kickboxing, and investing is one of my hobbies too. I try to only spend what I make from that account. It keeps me from spending my own income from work. It's been enough to keep my 240 happy. It's a good way to motivate yourself to put more into your investment accounts.

I think when it comes to 240's. Especially what I have seen in my community is that the younger crowd tends to own s13's and the older tend to own s14's and I am pretty damn sure that only full blown adults own s15's ...

But thats just my opinion. And I am 23 and own a s14

Well I'm a noob and 37. Have a 95 240, 03 S-10 and the DD is a 00 Freightliner. The 240 is all but stock except the 1 inch drop eibach springs and the KYB struts. I enjoy driving it. The S-10 gets alot of rest in the garage cuz I have more fun driving the 240. I guess I get a double whammy now right,,,noob and 37!

I always tell them, "By the time you get to 35, you will most likely make more money than me, and modding an old-a** 240 will be nothing."

With that being said, I think it's time to put the S13 up for sale this summer and move onto something else
Thats gonna be a sad day. :[

Sell it like a pet, to a good owner. Not a ***. -_-

I understand completely. I get bored of something pretty easy. After i "finish" my build I plan to throw my 240 up for sale shortly after that happens.

Its not that i don't want it anymore; its just that I'd like to move to a different project.

And no matter what; for the right price.... everything is for always for sale.

I belong to the over 45 group Bought my '90 240 in 1993 and still have it.

I think we need a "For how long have you owned your 240SX" poll

I'm 24. At the nissan meet the other day it seemed to be mostly 18-24 yr olds.

Older people owned the 300zx's and Infiniti's.

Also there are beginning to be a ton of young 350z owners too.

That's why I'm staying away from the 350Z's because they're close to next on the list to take an image dive.
