    Default Which trend is the worst?

    Honda guys vs. Dubbin' Guys.

    Who takes creativity too far? I like somethings both groups do, just wanting to know opinions.

    In all honesty they all have potential.

    There should be an option for VIP and/or sidewall stretching.

    Why would you care lol. If that's your thing then go for it.
    A 240 w/ either of those engines would be sick IMO.

    Do what you want, don't let the hate stop you. Not all 240s, VW, and/or Hondas suck. Just some of the dumb trends...

    Like hanging charms from 240s. In all honesty I think I don't like the VW trends. Some look good though with crosshairs, lowered, BBS wheels. A lot stuff I can't stand.

    Just make it nice, people hate on 240s that are put together in shitty ways. Theres nothing wrong with having 240, but there is something wrong with being a fag. The two just go hand in hand pretty often it seems.

    I would have to vote Honda, I like them but as hypno said they did steal the styling from VW.

    trends are just what they are, here today... gone tomorrow. if it makes sense on a performance standpoint go for it, if it's just for looks, well... enjoy wasting your money then.

    Not as pointless as the 240sx world you once belonged to.

    Every 240sx has drift charms, battle scars, stupid ass stickers on it, girlie tight jeans on the owner, ghey ass dildo ass stuffin shift knobs, and a cracked dash, oh and a odometer that doesn't work.

    Tell me that trend isn't fucking stupid.

    They do it so they can go low.

    You get a wide wheel......with a crazy offset.
    Find a tire you can stretch....
    Roll/pull/cut your fenders....
    Get coils....
    Dump the ride........

    i'm a 240 owner, so let me set the record straight:

    not "Every" 240 owner wants to drift, i don't and have no interest in it at all.
    i have no fucking clue what a "drift charm" is, but i have heard of lucky charms, which is a breakfast cereal.
    my car is in need of a paint job, but that's normal considering it's still the original paint from 1995. no body damage from drifting since i don't do it, so no "battle scars".
    the only stickers that might end up on my car will be 2 small ones to rep the shop doing the work on my car.
    i'm way too fat to fit into "girlie tight jeans" and even if i tried it, they'd rip so i'm not going there.
    i have no clue what "ghey ass dildo ass stuffin shift knobs" look like, but i assure you, my shift knob does not look like a dildo. if it did, i don't think any girl or guy in there right mind would want it in them.
    luckily my dash is not cracked, for how long who knows.
    my odometer is working.

    thank you for putting "every" 240 owner in your generalization about what you think "every" 240 owner is like. did you just smell something? it's sarcasm.

    WHOA, yeah, i'd have to agree those are the gayest looking shift knobs i've ever seen in my life. if that shit were somehow put in my car, i'd kick my own ass... twice.

    they do it to keep down on some of the fender roll, when you stretch the tire it gives you just a little bit more room to put a wider tire on a car vith a very aggressive stance and flush wheels. iIts not just for looks, in some cases it actually serves a purpose too.

    i've never understood the logic in the multicolored vw's, that's been around ever since i started driving in the late 80's, but it may have been around before then. i guess the honda thing with the engine bay might have something to do with it costing less to paint the exterior only than having to paint exterior and remove the engine to paint the bay to match.

    No it's not a cheap job with engine bay painted a different color. Like a white car with a teal engine bay??

    That most likely means the car was teal from the factory but the owner decided to paint the exterior white while leaving the 'invisible' panels stock color. (cost savings)
    If you check the door jams and the underside of the trunklid, those parts will probably be teal as well.

    As for the VWs, apparently some of'em came stock that way.
    I'm a Ford guy though so what do I know.

    Mine's the red one.
