I’m the first to talk about how shit and gay this site is, but in reality I owe a lot to it, and I’m sure you all do too. So let’s all for once, without posturing, and ripping on others, lets admit all the great things this site has done for us. Please don’t reply to anyone’s post, or make posts at anyone.
When I came here, I wanted to have an SR20DET, an S15 front end, and a loud BOV. I wanted to “smoke every domestic driving hick”. SON gave me a passion for performance, for handling, for racing. Because of the influence of this site and its users, I learned all I could about cars, in every aspect I could. From chassis work and stiffening, to drivetrain, suspension, braking, and to a lesser degree engine work and forced induction. I learned how to improve my line on the track by apexing later, I learned how to heel & toe, how to control my braking to minimize weight transfer and how to make the most of my brakes and tires.
I learned how to work on my car, how to repair and improve aspects of it which weren’t up to par. I learned how to respect quality parts, quality workmaship and doing things right the first time.
Even though all these things I didn’t learn ON SON, I learned them BECAUSE of SON. The influence of the people here made me want to improve, and get better. Everyone’s passion for their cars made me want to take mine to the next level.
And I saved this for last because it is by far the most important item on the list. I met some really cool people, and made a lot of good friends. I still hang out and talk with more than a few people from this site, even though we don’t really talk about 240SXs or cars anymore. Regardless of all the shit I may talk, I’m thankful to this place for letting me meet people like these, and motivating me to become who I am now.
This is the Legacy of SON, a group of people drawn together by the love for their cars. Whatever may come, and whatever douchebaggery may happen on here, I will not forget it.
I alsways say that I’m very thankful I fell in with the ‘right’ crowd here on SON. I got to know plenty of the senior guys and they taught me lots of things. To have respect was one and foremost. And then I was given the appreciation of track racing. I went to many events last summer thanks to Chris, Kyle, and Vlad. All gave me rides there when I had no car and all taught me about different things. The DN/D-ops crew has also been helpful to me in the respect. This year I’ve been very interesting in Grip racing thanks to some west enders like John and Mark. Overall I recieved alot of guidance on the more mature aspects of the auto racing and street scene. And that I didn’t have to have a fart can and lowered on 22’s to be cool on the street or in a parking lot.
Bing never did anything good for me. He even once disrespected my father who is no longer with us. I will never forgive him for the hatred and humiliation he has shown me.
Thanks SON.
90% of the time son makes me want to get drunk out of my mind and jump of a bridge but the 10% of the time when i meet cool ppl and have good coversations and learn somthing new is always good. thanks son, and son i hate you and always will at the same time. the amount of stress this site puts on me everyday is bullshit. but in the end well worth it.
I don’t even know why I’m still on SON but I love it.
i fell onto son by random chance
stayed for few days, bought my first 240sx here thinking it was going to be the most awesome thing
thats when the learnign kicked in and i owe it all to son.
now i own a 180sx, and have a buttload more knowledge i every aspect of automotive love, and its still growing
thanks son 
I’ve always liked this forum, from day one.
These forums can save a lot of headaches when something is wrong with your car and someone else has been there.
Examples would be when I thought my car was going to explode when launching at the drag strip only to discover it is the not-so-uncommon subframe bushing issue, or when my car was randomly overheating and I wasn’t sure where to start and Hector knew right away it was the thermostat (which it was).
The meets and checking out all kinds of other 240’s is always good.
And where do we start with the deals?! The FS section is a HUGE temptation island for a lot of us! 
It had also been a wake up call for me to realize how many young guys do all their own car work; my dad’s never done anything so I just started bottom up 100% on my own. This forum has helped me in countless ways as far as getting me going to do my own work on the car where suitable.
Finally, it’s nice to be able to share my successes with others thinking of going the same routes - because i’ve been where they are and it’s nice when someone takes the time to explain things well and share installs and reviews etc.
A few other misc. enjoyables include:
– the Canadian Tire SR swap
– the FNF icons
– the drama of course
– certain rust restoration projects
– every vid being a “repost”
– Fobwall’s enlightening analogies
Last but not least, the wonderful images of SON.
:fnf1:
:fnf2:
That is all.
The fact that almost every thread steers way off topic (i.e Canadian Tire sr swap) makes for a good laugh every once and awhile, and the people getting flamed when they ask stupid questions, one big (for the most part) happy family
I Would have never found this place if someone with a ka-et didnt comment on my car domain thing like 4 years ago, still dont know who that is
What it do!
Clearly, you contribute to 50% of my forum enjoyment!
Ya this forum helped me alot while reading up on parts and all that. I try staying out of some technical bullshit where flaming etc but it’s always fun to laugh at a few people. Thanks SON!
son is like a hot whore, you get your joys off of it until it gives you herpes
tooo many know it all 16 year olds
Wow, you guys are fucking sad, I’m sorry. I guess this is the reason why the forum is going to shit, and all the senior members rip on all the newbs. Cause the newbs are little shits that don’t give a damn about the community.
What is this, SONoholics Anonymous? :grouphug:
i love son newbs, they make me laugh.
everyone was a newb at some point in time, and I think hat ripping on them is just going to hinder their learning curve and exclude them from the awesome community that son has become.
Heh, seeing as though someone bumped this, since I’ve posted this, I’ve also dated someone from SON, and my roommate is another SON member. Beat that bishes 
I got my dream car, a 240sx, and still have alot to learn , but i still have 4 months before i get my g1 , so ill be here for a while 
Thanks SON!
i defy anyone to find me a forum with the number of users we have that doesnt have a bunch of fags running around posting bullshit.
SON240sx is the best forum on the internet…
no stupid pop-ups, no corporate ad-space in the middle of threads. limited bullshit… stop crying.
go hang out on GTcars if you dont like it here.
agree
