So I'm sittin here at lunch talkin with a friend. He out of the blue says 240's are s***, I asked him how so? His defence was because it's a Nissan, I had to explain to him that it's not s*** and I for the most part convinced him that their good cars, then he goes onto say that driving a 240 is like having a big target for the cops (no denying that) but if ur not doing anything wrong then u won't get charged right? Anyway basically I'm tired of ricer kids with 0 compression 90 horsepower junkyard disgraces giving 240's a bad name. I woulda killed him if he wasn't a foot taller than me, I did raise hell because... He drives a Saturn sl1 :@

Everything about cars is based on opinion. Maybe he's just jealous you have a sports car and he drives a crappy GM product

my mom had a Nissan Stanza back when I was in elementary school...

one day she dropped me off at school, and right there on the street, her engine caught on fire (I remember it vividly.. it was pretty dramatic, like fire trucks came, there were looky loos on the sidewalk, and all my classmates were like, hey, is that your mom's car?)

Her whole outlook on Nissans has been negative because of that experience... ever since then, she stuck to Honda Accords and has been satisfied since her switch.

Back when i was searching for my 240, she would always tell me not to go with Nissan... lulz. Oh mom

Honestly, who cares what anyone thinks?

Getting into arguments or getting bent out of shape over someones opinion only makes it look like they are right. Just brush it off, and move on. You know that most Nissans are great dependable vehicles, so why does it matter what someone else says...

For real? What are you 18? Big deal. If this is the worst thing that happens to you today, be happy.

Adrian haha, if that happened to my mom I'd probably still hear about it to this day from a couple friends (still have some from that far back).

I was sitting at lunch today with Blackzenki82, and out of the blue I was like man you're pretty ****. And he was like no way, and tried to convince me for the rest of lunch he wasn't but I ignored him and did the crossword puzzle. True story.

/ThreadThe kids in my town think I have the nicest car around even though they all were given brand new Mazda 3's, Subaru Legacy's/WRX's etc... Now if I go two towns over everyone thinks my car is a POS because they were given BMW's and Audi's, they have no clue how a motor even works let alone can back up why my car is a POS. Makes me angry how some people are so ignorant.

it's definetly not the worst part of my day. It was just a piss-off since his opinion is based purely on imagination, I've driven his Saturn I could pull my motor, cut thr floor out and flintstone pedal my car faster than his. I'm 17 to be honest, and the worst part of y day is coming home and seeing my 240sx sitting rotting because of s dead battery

awhile back, I took my car to get a exhaust leak fixed at my local muffler shop that mainly deals with muscle cars...

while I was waiting in the waiting room, I heard one of the other employees look at my car and say to the other employee "those are one of those rice cars huh"

this was before I had japanese aero and kouki tail lights. all i had was my 17" wheels, coilovers, and a stock exhaust (there was a leak in my stock exhaust). I didn't even have any stickers on my car! I was slightly offended, but didn't say anything cuz I didn't want to butt in their conversation

For me at least I get a lot of respect with my car even though the paint is trashed. It's not everyday you see a clean kouki in the Northeast. To think of it I haven't seen another kouki ever besides my friends...

when i hear people say s*** like that i always ask them what they drive and if they want to race for pinks. lol. i had a cop that was impounding my car talk all kinds of trash and i said "well, if i wanted to get away i definately would have outrun your pos cop car. btw what do you drive? ohh, really? bet id beat that too" and told him what i run. he stfu real quick.

Who cares what people like. Trying to make them like things that you do is dumb.

How would you like it if a gay guy was telling you liking vagina was dumb and you should go after man dongs?

That's prejudice! Not really though, isn't the most well thought out metaphor, thee classic "jump off a bridge" one is better.

I agree. But i like to use somethings differnt because when you hear the same thing you tend to not think about it. Also I have nothing against gay people.

who cares. when you get a little older youlle stop caring so much about what other people think and find yourself allot happier. you probalby could have been driving any car and he would have said the same thing. people can be d!ck, just stop caring about what they think, enjoy your car and build it how you want it. you did care what he had to say or it wouldn't have made you angry.

Its not even that it's not even like I was tryin to convince him to change his automotive orientation, it's just I hate when people trash talk 240sx's without ever having been near one. 240's have a baaaad rep in my town one retard riced one out and now everyone thinks their some kinda ricer car. O well I guess the underestimation will be beneficial in racing
