The Ripoff From Hell has been entered for your consideration. Let’s test out Automatic Transmission #3 on a long drive. 

If I’m selected I’ll gladly meet you in York PA and group drive up with you. I submitted my POS 240SX convertible, you know, the one I rebuilt from a broken frame after being ripped off. 

Maybe this movie will make me like Carroll Shelby again.

I think the “underdog” and “standing up to Ferrari” deal is that at the time it was unheard of for a mainstream american automaker to take on the likes of the sports car powerhouses in European racing. Ferrari may have been small but they had a reputation of fast racing and sports cars. At the same time the most…

Thank you!

She’s used to the CVT in the C-Max. And Ive heard good things about the Fit so it wont be a penalty box in the rare event I have to drive it.

My wife has a Ford C-Max we just paid off and it is at 140K miles and I have that 240SX Convertible from hell that was featured last year. The wife wants me to commute in the C-Max and get a lease on a small family vehicle for her and the two kids (2 and 4yo). Any advice on what to get?

You guys remember the “Ripoff from Hell” 204SX Convertible?

If you count fitting the boot cover, its easier than the hydraulic top on my 240SX.

Why no 240SX? Mine fits car seats fine!

DO NOT TRUST CARFAX!

I drive a 1993 Nissan 240SX, I ride a 1995 Buell S2, I have an irrational love for vehicles that are damn near as analog as I can get (though I DESPISE carbs).

This will be said over and over again in these comments but, as you point out, any new car is worlds safer than older vehicles. This should be common knowledge.

Can we also add that the Drift Tax and FastandFurious Tax have made all of the old cars (15-25yo) into mostly nostalgia classics that are too expensive to buy as a first vehicle anymore. 240SX’s, Civics, Celicas, etc are all going up in value.

The P-39 is my favorite aircraft of all time and my SIL owns a Previa that I forced here to buy. Seriously, she needed a super cheap car and I saw a running Previa listed for $800. Told her nothing else in the area would be as good and forced her to take a test drive. We struck a deal with the seller and she got it…

I’m doing my part. My driveway features a Blue Ford C-Max (BRIGHT metallic blue) and a Pearl White 240SX Convertible. The Vert may be white but at least the 90's styling isn’t bland and overwrought.

In PA you can get your motorcycle learner’s permit multiple times. I actually had a friend who ride for years and never got his license, just kept renewing his learner’s permit and rode with that.

Best part is the President of the HOA. Guy is super hardcore into his passions, except they can change on a whim. He LOVED Japanese sport bikes, Hated HD bikes and made comments about my Buell. “Cool bike, to bad it has a Harley motor.” Now he works for HD. Guess what he rides and lavishes on? A big HD Ultraglide.…

Because they are single family homes. The dues are put towards common area maintenance and snow removal in the winter. In fact, nearly 90% of our dues go to snow removal as the toads are not owned by the local municipality until construction ends.

No joke, thanks to an overzealous HOA I now measure, photograph, and email my HOA every time I now. They tried to fine me for it getting log once. When it was raining all well and my wife was in the hospital.
