The only thing we love as much as our women is our cars. For most of us, myself included... we love cars more than women. We do however, have a relative view on our cars as we do women. We all like unique cars, we want a car that not everyone has, and when we do have our prized possession, we dont like to share it with others or let anyone touch it... much like our women!

I'm sure every guy alive at some point in their life has uttered the phrase " if you wouldn't hit that you're gay ". well, if you wouldnt drive this, you're a peter swallowing, dress wearing nancy boy who will probably be slow to respond to this thread only because you're waiting for your nails to dry.

The thing is..... No matter how much that girl cleans up, whether or not she finished college and got that degree that placed her in that nice respectable office job. We still wouldnt want to know that she was a filthy whore in the past. Even worse.... to have a constant reminder of her past in your face everyday via facebook or to have pictures of her pop up every time you google search.

This is exactly what a 240sx is. In its purest form it is a prom queen. On its worst day it's a filthy skank hooker that gets passed around the frat party to anyone willing to take a turn. No matter whos hands this vehicle winds up in, we cant forget where its been. In the car world, once you go black you can go back..... to red, green, blue, yellow... or any other color, maybe even stripes if that is what tickles your fancy. We dont want to think about someone hitting the walls in our beloved and cherished sports car when we love and caress it with the polish wheel. We dont want to wonder how many times our mechanical obsession has been rear ended in its past.

http://www.wreckedmagazine.com/images/2009/ratedr240sx.jpg

No matter how much the 240sx cleans up, we simply cant forget the skank that was. Though most of us would gladly take a ride if given the chance and probably think about it a few nights when nobody else is around, most of you just simply arent ready to put a ring on its finger.

I know what you mean. I know hondas aren't the greatest cars in the world, but hell they're everywhere. My very first car was a n 89 240sx and I loved it. I transferred over to hondas (which I regret constantly) because that's what most people in my area had. The few people with 240s despise us for some reason.

Well I detail cars for a living and I think I have an answer. People treat brand new cars like straight Shit no matter the value. With the 240sx being such cheap sports cars in their day, a lot of lower class people drove the hell out of them and couldn't maintain them properly.

Why would you try to please a "hater", or anyone other than yourself for that matter? Krappy has a badass 240 and I doubt anyone has told him he wasted his money....

i'm sayin people hate on 240s regardless of what they do with them. Stock, modded, body kit, no body kit, fast, slow, clean, beater.. doesnt matter. The people that dislike 240s will always dislike 240s.

well, the 240sx shares characteristics with some of the most successful and celebrated cars ever made... skyline, bmw, foxbody ect.... the cars you DO like... share characteristics with any generic sedan you could find at any used car lot around the world for less than 5k. There's not a decisive body line on the 200sx, you could slap a geo badge on it and nobody would notice. And thats just judging the cars on appearance.... completely leaving out that the 240sx/silvia is the little brother to a car japanese people affectionately named "Godzilla"

i understand taste is a matter of opinion but i honestly cant think of a fathomable excuse why anyone would like this vehicle and not anything else nissan makes... but thats me.

i mean seriously........ 240sx follows the mold laid forth by many other LEGENDARY sports cars. Compare the profile shot of the 180sx to the Ferrari 355......

psychologist say that subconsciously what attracts us to women is hip to waste ratio and proportions. Clearly car manufacturers understand this as you can see how many sports cars follow the same template. If you look at every car i listed, they all have almost identical hood/trunk/roof ratios. I honestly dont understand how a car enthusiast can be so turned off by a 240sx. sometimes i feels like im talking about titties with homosexuals.

I'm a big fan of 240s, I think all the drifting hype has killed a lot or led to bad modding. When I say bad modifying I mean quarter panels screwed on, parts of the car different colors, the hole hellaflush thing, eBay turbo kits, but most of that stuff goes for any type of cars there some like that in every car community. Most 240s I see are beat up and spray painted some odd color and it's cool to them cause it's a "drift race car" they daily.

I, for one, love 240SXs and always have. It's just not feasible to have one as a daily unless I have a four door car since I have my son. Currently, I do have my four door Accord so owning a 240SX is feasible.

I do disagree with this. I've never gone into a thread of someone's car saying that. Now I have voiced my opinion s on what I would do differently to the car in topic. But I wouldn't see a point in going into your thread about your "Civic EK with Tanabe exhaust and Spoon mirrors" and tell you how much better I like the 1981 Toyota Corona.

famous words of the anti-conformist conformist. I dont like or DISLIKE a car because it did or did not appear in a movie. I dont think you can honestly say the same. Cars in movies is nothing new....... fast and furious didnt start the trend of big screen auto advertising. Previous movies were equally as successful at their agenda of presenting a car to the masses. Also note that Fast and Furious was a movie about the EXISTING world of street racing.... it didnt start it.

I think you misunderstood his statement. I perceived it as something to the effect of "the cars he likes are only 'obscure' to IA's population, which takes a liking to civics and 240s, due F&F movies. Not that he likes cars b/c of movies." I'm assuming somewhere out there there's a forum full of QD's that scoff at a set of gold rotas, HID's, polyurethane lip kits and flash futuristic curves, but adores the harsh boxy lines of the automotive culture pre 90s :goodjob: and there we'd probably all get flamed, lol

Here it is right here, Sinfix. I think you're trying too hard to disagree with me so you can be the one to label me. Genji has had it on point the entire time, dude. Later, QD.

I'm not trying to disagree with you, i simply just do disagree with you. Fast and Furious came out in 2001 and opened in theaters outside of Atlanta. People on IA "take a liking" to the same cars everyone else on the planet is. Just so happens that not too many people are that excited about taking a run of the mill economy car from the 70-80s and restoring it to look like the cover of a Haynes manual.

^^^Lol, i completely agree with you EA civics are freakin ugly and there's barely an EF i'll take a second look at, but i think that fact that you disagree with QD's automotive taste (as do i, in most cases) only confirms his previous post:

You'd be right if we were talking in relation to people on IA. But the cars I like aren't exactly "IA caliber" cars. Later, QD.

Saying you disagree with his taste in cars is no more common/appropriate than saying you disagree with his (or any other person's) taste in women (or men if that's your thing, lol) :goodjob:

Again, Genji nails it. On IA, you're probably right. In the actual world, you're not quite so right.

Again, you're trying too hard to label me and make me look wrong when opinions are neither right nor wrong. I wouldn't try to persuade you to like my car, so why try to make me like yours? Later, QD.

^^^That is freakin sexy, gahd i need to start buying my cars straight from japan :goodjob:

Suggestion: Should probably just make this a "post a sexy 240" thread, as to diffuse some of the tension in here:2cents:

My contribution, good job :goodjob: yes?
