I nominate this thread to be one of the "stuck" threads at the top of the page

[Luke]

AH, I gotta resurrect this one for the noobs to check out!

[Florida240sx]

Oh my God!!! 85 out of those 90 apply to me...BTW, what is the most mileage you have gotten after the needle reaches the E? I'm up to 87mi. :-)

Don't know how many miles I've gone past, I know one day I went 66miles. But I was on a trip to Arkansas and almost ran out of gas 3 times. I put 16.457gallons in my car.

[Fenvy]

I don;t undetstand the number 44

[Luke]

Why not?44) You dream about SR and RB swaps constantly.

I did exactly this for a year while planning my SR swap. (not the literal "sleep dream" but the wish kind of dream)

[Veriest1]

lol

Tailgating Posches and other "real sports cars."

[Fenvy]

no I don't understand "45) You know what number 44 means."

[masticatingcow]

It means that you understand what the number 44 statement on the list means. Like, you know what an SR and an RB are.

I saw this list on 240sxforums like a year and a half ago. The best part is some of that stuff I didn't understand has come to have meaning now that I've been in the car for almost three years. LOL, it's like, something happens or I notice a different rattle and I think to myself, "I bet that was on the list!"

I motion to have this thread stickied.

[GhostDriver]

I second the motion.I foud myself getting out of my chair and laughing whilst reading (I like using the word whilst)lol.

[Luke]

Knew you guys would like it :-) This should go in the archived section or at least sticky!

#94 you find a pool of water and rusted spare/jack inside the trunk.(at least i did, i found this pool of water, i mean you could like put your hand in there and it would be that deep, this was when i bought the S13 from 1 of those cheap dealers for $1000, guess the owner didn't know).

most of those so apply to me, specially driving with a bottle and having to shift.(also my radiator had bird wings all over it), and my car idles not too well and could stall every other corner:(......its like the truth was just told to me and it hurts:(......after a year of gettin the engine fixed and my brothers telling me to sell the car, i just never did, guess that 1 also applies to me.

[GrilledCheese33]

Some of these apply to us s14 owners, like the 240 recignition and the never sell it part. My dadtried to get me too sell my car b/c the heater core went out. No way, our cars have wayyyyyyy to mch sentemental values just to hand them over to strangers! But anyway, i laughed my *** off, especially the offramp thing, civics always do that to me! This deserves a stick!!!!
