The hunt for my 1st car started when my mom took me to check out a local import dealership. She didnt think i'd want a project car so soon but i was in love. She was also quite skeptical of a kid who cant even drive wanting his own car. Being self taught, theres alot i could potentialy f**k up. Well, i got my 180sx when i was 14 years old. Im 15 now and in love with nissan. I worked in a kitchen since i was 13 to start saving for this and well, i finally got it. Solid car for 5 grand canadian with 123k. no front or back bumper, both were torn off when the previous owner hit a deep puddle. no rust at all, current mods include cold air intake, limited slip diff, ground kit, blitz bov, turbotimer and exhaust. all on SR20. more pics to come.

so like an idiot 15 year old, i had to pull some idiot s***. weather was nice today, so i took the 180 out for a spin. coming into a straight, i gunned it in 2nd on a gravely road. i drifted, almost sideswiped an evo x, spun the other way and almost hit my buddy's truck. so i pulled into the garage and vowed never to drive again. anyone else experience an awesome driving story?

I did 85 mph in my nissan frontier through a neighborhood called canyon lakes. got pulled over by a detective and almost arrested. nearly got a negligence in the first degree which is a felony.

last winter I drifted my $500 honda civic in the dmv parking lot on the 4 inches of ice. managed to get video of a 180 parallel park. a few cops saw me do it and didnt care. they watched for a minute then left.

I have many more storys. and you will gain more too. try not to drive obnoxious when other cars are around as they are only more objects to hit.
