project/daily driver 240sx

[driftsilvia]

i have 1 1/2 till im 16 and my goal was to sell the car i get which is a 2002 volvo s60 and get a job and save money and use my money i have been getting from grandparents (10000$ somewhere around there) and buy 2 240sx(s) and have one for a project car and the other for a daily driver. i cant make up my mind should i turn my first project car into a s15 conversion with a sr20det for shows like sema or should i turn it into a drifter and make my 1st daily driver into a show car???? and then after they are done just buy another daily driver and sometime make it a project car???

o the 1 1/2 is how many years

[sRscooby]

why not learn how to drive first

get a cheap honda 5speed or something, then sell that and make YOUR decision

[Suislide]

how about you don't make a 240SX into a show car?

yeah. cause that would just be dumb. cause they're made to drive, not to sit on a show floor.

if that 2002 Volvo S60 is a t5 you'd better NOT be selling it for a 240sx. if you are you, my freind, are an idiot.

whoa there buddy, lets not get ahead of outselves. You think you have a lots of money from other sources, but when you hit 16, i am betting you are going to get a hand-me-down accord or civic asking us if you should import an s15 from working a minimum wage job saving up. Your goal first is to learn how to drive and not crash....

Pick a lie.....
And stick to it!

is this guy serious?? when i was 14 i looked forward to going to high school dances, halloween and drinking for the first time.. not buying a car that has 1200HP potential..

lol thats classic

[Chuki_breath]

yea he obviously hasnt lived enough to learn he will have to pay for other stuff with that money....like insurance and on 2 240s at a 16 year age thats going to be some scrilla. But i remember when i was your age i was going to have sweet car"s" with huge systems, turbos, a ghetto cruiser with hydros and all the money to pay for it.....but then reality slapped me in the face and said your a newbie to life and washed those ideas out of my head. Tickets also take chunks out of cash...girls do .... mcdonalds .....beer .....movies ....clothes etc etc etc....your 14 1/2 years old so mommy and daddy still pay for all this shit for you....you will soon experience the same slap i did....that we all did. But if your in a rich family and spoiled rotten well gfg and more power to ya.

OK, man, you promised to stop lying to us, but you started up again.... I thougth I was going to get a S14 when I wasturning 16, you know what I'm getting (I'm 17 now) a rusted out, beat up, 1991 Mercury Topaz, that's reality for ya! Oh, but it's a powerhouse car, 83hp (that's crank, not wheel) and automatic, I beat a 1000hp Supra!!......(there was no one in his car, but that's a secret.) So the point is, your life is going to suck, like everyone else's here, unless you're a rich kid, in which case I hate you.

if he really wants a 240 that bad he could get one when I turned 16 I bought my 96 240sx from working my ass off when I was 15. I paid 7300 for it...every dollar out of my savings account and now I have a sr20 with lots of mods and a s15 conversion kit. So he could do it if he really wanted to.

[logik23]

You probably making good money, what was your job? I'm making 7$ an hour (minimum wage in quebec) and with 30 hours a week for 3 months, i have a about 500$ in savings, if i worked my ass off, id maybe have 1000$, thats not much

[mrx7255]

i work at goodyear making about 300 a week and then for two days I work at a hardware store making about 120..

this kid reminds me of me back then, my hopes were high n really wanted something nice. . .now i'm STILL looking for a decent 240 (around a year now) while trying to find another job =\

-here in CT ppl over price their shit n the cars usually all beat up
-then im talking to my rents about it cuz they know somesthing "fishy" lol
-only worked during summer (worried bout grades)

chance are your going to go thru the same shit as me. . .these cars are rare, and if your parents arent supportive then convincing them will also play a big part, and if you dont have a job yet better find one soon
