An acquaintance of mine had a 88 MR-2. He told me about once when he was racing his friend's SVT Cobra on the highway. As they were approaching post-100 mph speeds, a semi-truck switched lanes forcing him to swerve onto the side of the highway. He said there must have been some gravel or something there because he ended up doing a 180 and staring back at his buddy in the Mustang. He managed to regain control and somehow rotate the car back around. heh, after rocking in his seat as he took an off-ramp his buddy told him, ". . . that was the best f*cking driving I've ever seen!" He sold the MR-2 a couple weeks later and has had nightmares about the even ever since. ^ ^

i've heard lots of stories about the 240 in it's native land, nasty accidents, had my bf warn me about it, but bought it anyway, knowing i'll be careful and get into auto-X to practice my skills, found out the 240 is pretty forgiving

i had the rare chance to drive a mk2 MR2,n/a, sweet, loved hearing the engine warble in my ear, i got to drive it while my 240 was in the shop at a dealer, they let me drive it to the 7-11 close by, i made sure i chirped the tires on my way back, what a great car, i'd love to have a one (either gen) for a summer car or something.. :)

The 240sx is supposed to be far more forgiving then a Mr2 when drifting...

First of all how do you pay for these rides?

How reckless are you that you fuk up the Firebird and still have the money to get a 98 240 and pay for the insurance...

People have no respect for cars these days... Especially when mommy or daddy buys them one...

Sorry I was 16 years old and was acting stupid on the highway ok. I regret it every day and haven't gotten in any accidents or gotten any tickets since. Second of all. My dad and I bought the Firebird wrecked at an auction when I turned 15. He and I worked every weekend almost fixing up the car for me. When we were done it was just about perfect. The Grand Prix had also been wrecked so it was a little less expensive than normal. Plus we had about 10 grand in insurance money from the Firebird. Now, I am selling the Grand Prix for 8500 and I have 4 grand saved up from working and I an using that to buy the 240 that costs 10,700.

Judging from the Terminal Velocity in her name, I would guess that Krystal is BubbyRX7/QUICKFLOW's Girlfriend. Better not let him hear you proposing marriage, he's southern and they still allow dueling down there. : )

Hmm that's terrible =) LOL.. anyways they would probably be cool. They like you remember! The only problem would be school/ When would this meet take place?

Oh and to answer your earlier question Bubby.. usually when I announce that I drive a car that runs 8.'s in the quarter I have an abundance of Instant Messages in the following 10 minutes. Which of course is why I left that one out.

Im 18. this is my second car. I got a purple 240 as my first car. I paid for it myself. Bought it because it looked cool, and fell in love with it. My purple 240 was totalled, by a drunk indian in a 2002 camary. Wasn't pretty. About a year ago i got my 95 240sx se with the insurance money. It took a while to find but it was bone stock, when i got it with 38 k. now it is pretty heavily modem. wont go to far into details, but i got the basics, e/h/i, with sportlines, and tokico hp's. Body kits nw carbon fiber hood, bomex front eybrow. mr7's powder coated black. ect. Thers alot more. Curently running 14.8's. Couldn't hook up at all.
