I think we need a "For how long have you owned your 240SX" poll
LOL, I'm in the minority too, old enough to be the dad of most on this site. Just call me the old guy... Got my dd 95 Zenki in 2001.

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!
Sorry for the threadjack, but can somebody plz explain to me what is the 240sx/S10 connection about?

I've seen quite a few users on these boards and on Zilvia w/ Chevy s10's and I just don't get it. Am I missing something?

I'm 18, and I got a 240 so I could have fun with my car. Why else would you get one? Lol at all the older people trying to look mature by saying they got a 240 for the privilege of owning one, BS. 240's are s***boxes, it's not much of a privilege.

I love seeing the older crowd turn out. Makes me feel less absurd dumping money into my car. I bought my 90 in 04.

For me...older guy..the 240 is practical. No car payments !!! It;s a fun little car and when there is absolutely no one in sight(with a badge) I give it the occasional tailspin.I live in a rural area so this isn't so hard to do.

Im 17 and most of the kids my age have different color body panels, and s*** parts, s*** everything. IT really pisses me off because I love 240's. I just got my first 240 yesterday for 200 bones man. Once I win this war against rust, ill be able to start from scratch, with no half-assed s***! Guys my age with 240s use s*** ebay parts, and s*** megan parts, because they don't want to save. That's your average drifter 240 owner which is sad. They ruin the 240 community really. I admit I wanted to drift at one point and time because it looked cool and all, but then I realized that time attack and tracking the car is better. Hopefully my generation will stop being retarded sometimes.

Most of the guys around my area are between 20-30, but me and my buddy are around ages 18-19. My mom offered to give me a Dodge Stealth if i sold my 240 and gave her some cash, but I said f**k that, my 240 is staying with me. Too much money into it because I might only get $500 for it. Every 240 I've came across has had problems, whether it be engine or body. Overall 240s are great cars though, they drive smooth. Cheers

I am about to turn 26.. and this is my 3rd 240.

I am considering getting into a vette myself.. Ironically enough, my insurance will go DOWN 25$ a month switching from a 95 240 to a 89 vette. LOL
