What could be worse

[rpgmage_86]

This sucks balls. I can't find a 240 anywhere. Any year. Practically any price. Not in the newspapers, not on the internet. I dunno where else to look. It doesn't help that I live at least an hour away from anywhere you could remotely call a big city. I don't think there's anything that can be done or anywhere else to look, but maybe there's something I don't know?

[mrx7255]

where do you live??
I might be able to find you one

[Xtreme_098]

Same with me. Im still looking for one. Takes time.

[rpgmage_86]

I'm in good 'ole more-cows-than-people Wytheville, Virginia. It's mainly located in the southwest portion of virginia sandwiched between West Virginia and North Carolina. Most of the 240s that I could afford end up being too far way. Anyways, hope that helps.

Don't I know about that. The big deal is, i'm in college, I'm still driving my parents' car, which is a 1992 Chevy Camaro (automatic!!!grrr!!!!!!!!), and I really want to be able to do something with a car of my own. And it's been years that I've been looking for a car period, intensively for at least the past 6 months, not always for a 240, but ya know. And my dad usually finds me nothing to look at but old Cadillacs and domestics. Ahhhh, this is hell, lol.

I hear ya rpgmage, im driving a 97 GMC Sierra z71 until I find a car. Ive looked through Eclipses, Integras, and Talons but in the end I come up with two cars that im watching out for: 240sx and an MR2.

[rpgmage_86]

Hah, crazy. That's pretty much exactly what I'm watching for. Even though I don't like how short the mr2 looks, mid-engine intrigues me. I don't care if rwd isn't good for the snow, I hate front wheel drive.

Well, you could have been hit by a 240SX. That not only would have sucked more but it would have been hilariously ironic.

[rpgmage_86]

That actually kinda reminds me of my famed ...dun dun dun

SOMETIMES THE WORLD SUCKS

moment of the month.

So, I'm driving home from college, which is in town, and I'm minding my own business. WHEN, I see, out of the corner of my eye, a pretty shiny, kinda nice looking car pulling out of the sonic. Now, it didn't take me tooo long to notice that it was a zenki (i think that's the right terminology, 97-98 240). So my first reaction was "whoa" it's my semi dream car. So, even though I shouldn't have, I look up to see who's driving it and it's this son-of-a-*^%(* like 30-year-old dude driving with his girlfriend, probably. Sometimes the world sucks. Why should he get to drive a car like that, when you know he's not doing anything to it to fulfill its potential. He'll just run up 150000 miles or so and then sell it for 6000 like it's worth that much. Ok, I think i feel better now.

[Xtreme_098]

LMAO broke as ****, that would be ironic.

[nissanfanatic]

It took me 1.5 years of looking until I found the car I have.

[rpgmage_86]

Is there any particular good place to look? Newspapers? Internet ads? Just going to a bigger area and looking around?
