i actually wanted a jetta back when i was 16, but then i found out their fwd and that turned me off like a fat woman. So I did a google search for rwd cars and found that there is such a car as 240sx and it is rwd, and got obsessed. I didn't know much about car's back then so that was really my only requirement :P

Because back in 99 when i bought my s14:

1) 3000GT's were boat anchors2) Supras were too expenisve3) 350Z's didnt exist4) Everyone had a honda/acura (whats the difference really)5) 300Z's just didnt appeal to me6) All my friends were DSM guys and i had to be different (who wants crank walk anyways)

Man i am old...hahaha...but it was before drifting went big but right around the time JUN built a yellow s14 with so much torque it twisted the frame

1: 240's are sexy as hell!!2: They are REAL ( REAR lol) WHEEL DRIVE3: The 240SX has an endless amount of aftermarket support.4: Did i mention they are pure sex on wheels?

For real though i have owned 2 240SX's and they have been nothing but the best, from trying to figure out what's wrong with them to finally getting this KA-T$ project under way on the 14. I wouldn't have it any other way 240SX for life!!!!

because they're cheap as f***, RWD, japanese and have tons of aftermarket support.

they're also fairly unique, at least in my area. most people have no idea waht kind of car i drive.

mom bought one brand new in 1992. When i was 16 it got handed down to me. That was a time when 240's were not popular and drifting was not heard of in the USA. Well you could argue that it was heard of....obviously people did know about it before it was popularized, but it was somewhat of an underground non media covered thing. That was when you could drive a 240 to high school and people would ask wtf it was.

i really dont think i can have sex in mine not enough space but to answer why did i pick the Nissan 240SX

1)Had $700 in my pocket and bought it for that 2)RWD3)No one else in my school has one4)The flip up lights drive me insane (always liked them since i was little)5)Currently in automotive6)Hatchback7)Better than being one of the many civic owners n falling into the VTEC lovers category (kids that make turbo sounds and would f*** it if it had a vagina)

I bought my coupe back in 2001 because I wanted a 300zx but couldn't find a cheap one. The Hatchback was bought cause the dude accepted my offer of $200

It chose me, srsly. I was looking for a 240sx, Mr2, 300zx, etc... and my brother calls me up out of the blue. "Yo, We just got a 98 240sx in the dealership. It's yours for 2,500"
