I appreciate the concern guys, well I know I can get more money out of it parting it out than selling to a salvage yard so when i can move my right arm better and I get the car towed to my fathers Im gonna strip her down... if the motor still works I might be selling a KA24DE motor with less than 30 thousand miles on it

Sorry to hear.

I know of a good Black '96 chassis that just needs a motor if you're interested. I know that when I wrecked my car I couldn't think of any other car to own.

Hey yessir 240, if your fogs made it out okay, drop me a line at [email protected]. I know you didn't want parts requests yet, but i am in no hurry whatsoever, but possibly by the end of june, b/c i'm visiting boone for the month and shipping would be cheaper. Thanks

Sorry to hear about your loss, but atleast you and your friend lived. Imagine how much worse it could have been if you where seriously hurt and maybe paralyzed. As for your next car, be patient as im sure you will find your next car and grow to love it more than your previous one

Black Cat in downtown is very good as well (PBR on tap). I might go for a drive up there this weekend, or one weekend very soon.

Sorry to hear about your loss, and you are so lucky you and your friend are alive. Sounds like you had a mint-condition zenki. I just lost my s13 coupe two weeks ago to a idiot who ran a stop sign at full speed on a bright, sunday afternoon. There's an attorney involved, I have a witness who vouches for my side of the story (the truth really) and i'm currently getting nissan dealerships to write me quotes of what the car would've been worth if they were to sell it on their lots. It's a huge pain in the *** but i couldn't imagine what would happen if i didn't have my car fully insured.

My advice to you for your next car: fully insure it, and get really good tires for the rain. One thing i've noticed about 240's is they are spin-happy only if you have a set of ****ty tires on. Does your insurance cover you and your passenger's injuries i hope? Because you both will be needing physical therapy for a while. Esp. your friend. Glad you guys are ok.
