because drifting became huge and the POS ziptied, dented fender and mismatched paint look followed suit. it’s like saying “I don’t give a shit about what happends to my car. I drive it hard and i’ll run it into the ground being badass if I have to.”

OH and how could I forget this…for some reason many 240 owners seem to have this weird love hate thing with their cars. on one hand they’re on the car forum…at at the same fucking time they’re bashing the crap out of their own car… saying a 240 is a pile of shit for a car. …what other car community says this kinda crap.
