We have all these threads about clean, nice 240s, lets show the beaters some love.

Rusty, dusty, muddy, multicolored body panels, and mismatched wheels GET IN HERE.

I'll start since Im the unofficial master of getting S chassis messy.

My old coupe.

Dirty as in sexy? Or contaminated? ... If so, I got a piece of lint on mine yesterday! :chuckle:

i don't have a pic but it's a good idea. caring for your car is an opinion. some people like it slammed, stock, clean, dirty whatever it's your car. i'm down for dirty!

GAH beat me to it :squint:

My car is dirty and crappy, but it cannot compete with the rally 240. I feel like a dirty-noob.

Wow, who pissed in your corn flakes? I do care, thats why Ive been building them since you were in 5th grade. That doesn't stop me from getting out and having a little fun once in a while. I keep my Maxima clean, but my truck and rally car are meant to get dirty, just because your anal about wiping every spec off your paint doesn't mean you have to be a d!ck. I guess I shouldn't expect any better from someone still in high school.

If you dont like the thread, then GTFO, and dont come back.

To everyone else, I meant this thread mostly as a joke, and because I wanted to whore some photos. But now I really want to see beaters. I want to see the 240s that I know most of you guys are driving, the cars that no one else cares about, yet mean everything to you. If for no other reason, do it to piss off the little matty.

Not really the same. Those cars were made to look like that on purpose.

I want to see the cars that just are. I know there are lots of them out there.

Jerid, how are those rims? Have they come out of alignment/balance? How they take dd'ing? I love circle track rims, just unsure if they would be safe/worth using for the street.

I mount and balance my own wheels/tires... and sometimes they are a pain to balance. The balance machine says 2 of the 4 wheels are out of round, however you can minimize vibration by getting a good balance. I'm very happy with them... I've already went through probably 14-18 tires on the rear and have not had a problem yet.

I haven't smacked anything with them yet. They are extremely solid... A lot thicker than normal steel wheels. They are fairly weighty in comparison to my old 17x7.5 wheels that I had... but I definitely trust the Diamond Racing wheels over Drag or wtf ever it was that I had before.

calm down. i was just expressing my opinion. and im not in high school. i graduated. and now that i think about it, what i said was pretty stupid. because i dont keep it clean all the time and honestly, my car isnt the cleanest car out there. i apologize for being a douche.

im just gonna do what you said and i will GTFO before i say something stupid again..
