You know you own a 240 when

You pour money into a KA24E, just to do a KA24DE swapWhen your *** end kicks loose in the rain on a busy street on accidentWhen parts that go under the hood are somehow in the trunkWhen you see RHD Jeeps, and get jealousWhen you add over quarter panels, and fender flares just to "Flush" those negative offset'sWhen the car is so low, you rip out your hood latch assembly, when u bottom the front end out"Because Mudflaps are awesome on a slammed hatch"

I think these need to be added somewhere

[S13_love]

When you see RHD Jeeps, and get jealous

[Otto]

You already own 3 240s, but still look for more on autotrader

[BrianHarte]

"when you think of hondas as rice"

[freakyjason]

While this thread has been covered before (several times if i recall), this is the only one where every single point in the op's first post actually fits me! Except for the mustang rims part.

[nevertheless]

when you see flip up lights, you double check.when you laugh at probes.when your car hibernates.

[EnjoiNismo]

when you see flip up lights, you double check.

^hahaha true true

[Chaluska]

You know your a 240 owner when..

- your clearcoat is peeling, but you dont care- you have used several different OEM nissan wheels, only to find that they dont serve your purpose, and end up using TT supra, or Starion wheels- all of your friends who aren't interested in cars can tell you what kind of engine is in your car.- You constantly browse EBAY just to see if there is a awesome deal, even though you already have whatever is on sale. (300zx calipers/coilovers/turbo)- you have rust on the rear of your car, where an OEM foam spoiler used to be.- you have a detailed diagram of your town, where lifted man holes are, so you can modify your route to avoid them.- your car didn't even survive 48 hours, before you had ordered a part, or preformed some sort of quick mod.- when noob 240 owners say they are going to put in an SR, and you attempt to convince them to put in a RB, or go KA-t.- there is some form of spraypaint somewhere on your car.

"Every time it rains, you drift because it's cheaper than doing it when it's dry.""You spend more on your turbo setup than you did on the car.""You have spare tires that don't fit your car, but for some reason you keep them around" ...I have 3 or so in the garage if anyone wants them

Oh, and I have Mustang wheels... on my Mustang.

[frapjap]

...you turn up the radio to drown out the rattles....you took out the radio to save weight....you drive diagnol over big, broad speed bumps....you drive barefoot and adjust your clutch engagement to be uber sensitive so you don't have to go all the way to the floor. Instead you tap in the clutch, quickly change gears, and then come off the clutch. It also shocks your drive train on fast shifts in the rain causing you to go sideways like woah.
