What to Buy...

Post by **Stoneage_Turbo** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 3:59 pm

I was sent pics of yet another G20 involoved in a rollover , this person was paralized tho as the seat didnt fail , so a G20 is absoultly out of the question , gonna have to sell off all my parts once im back to florida

I dont want another Front drive nissan , this time i want a car that someone would look at and not joke about it being a cheap econobox , safety is paramount here , i dont think the 240 is that safe , unless someone can tell me how well they do in a roll over

so im down to Q45s , leaning very heavy to a 1994 Q45a thats by my house in florida , my dad might go out and look at it this week ,expensive accumuators are worring me alot , but then again to me it would be worth replceing them as i belive this could be a collectors car one day .

anyway , i need some ideas on what else to look for , wanna stay with nissan

im lurking in the 240 section , beware

buy a grandmamobile you sissy boy! q45 at your old balls age cant go wrong heha!

as tino said, at your "old balls age" (what are you 20,21?) you might as well make a switch to the darkside. find a Q45 to test drive, they are amazing cars. watch out, if your dad gets a hold of that one in Florida he may not give it up when you move back.

"buy a grandmamobile you sissy boy! q45 at your old balls age cant go wrong heha!"

this coming from a truckstop attraction that has one of the minlli vannli tiwns as his avatar

i hear ya dude , the 300z would be fun , but im concrend about finind one that hasnt been raped like tino

dont worry i got dads vette held hostage , if a q45 can outwiegh a vintage vette in his book than it has to be a serious car , too bad its a automatic

I think this will be the only vehicle you'll be able to thoroughly enjoy. I know you're skilled with arts de turbo so this should be just right. I must admit I fell in love with Q's this past weekend when I seen Fred's new one, but the Q isn't for me..just too big.

Post by **90Q45blue** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 3:59 pm

Buy the Q. Have you ever driven one? If you haven't go drive a 90-96 model right away. Then your decision will be made. As for safety that thing is a frigging tank. Good luck on your decision and I hope you make the RIQHT one.

Can I ask a dumb question? what makes you think you might rollover in a G20? They're not known for being unsafe vehicles.

alaska is beautiful untill it begins to snow , then its the uglyiest nastiest most vile place in the world , youve never felt cold or misery till you been here , but the summer is worth it

Well, I was curious about the 240sx's rollover safety (I just rolled a Chevy Blazer at 25 mph...never again will I own a compact SUV) and i found this account of a rollover: "Fast forward six months to the winter and voila!...Ice patch + rear-wheel drive = '89 Nissan 240SX upside-down in farmer's drainage ditch off PA State Road 35. In the cars defense, both my fiance and I evacuated the car without a scratch, bump, bruise, broken bone, or any other injury. The structural integrity of the car during the rollover was superb and the manual lap belt held both of us upside-down without allowing our heads to bump the roof. Amazingly, the power windows still worked, so we lowered(or is it 'raised' in an upside-down car) them and crawled out of the car into the mud and ice at the bottom of the ditch." This came from http://cartalk.cars.com/Survey....html

Hmm...Well before the "rollover" subject continues, let just get something straight.

You're getting the 300zx, right?

Post by **Stoneage_Turbo** » Mon Mar 10, 2003 3:59 pm

hmm , interesting , 240s are still int he running but the pickings are probably pretty slim since everyone buys them and thrashes them

if i find one ill give it a good look but i think id have a easier time locating a Q45a in unthrashed condition

240s would have my full attention if one in decent shape could be found , would like a autocross car , Q45a would work just as well tho

Get on of those new hondas till gas prices go down. Just remember to cut eye holes for the paper bag while your driving.
