though the shit gets cheaper… ppl still dont have money for stuff… not only that, the cheaper stuff is usually shit.

ppl who have the money and are willing to spend it will have the better cars. at a car that you can get for 1G or 2Gs… ud expect the ppl not to have the money to spend on the modifications needed… let alone a nice car.

look at mkiv forums… evo forums… sti forums… ppl who have money to buy more expensive cars… all have a job/money to back it up with.

Even still. I’ve found that many others have that mentality where on one hand they show via their actions that they care about their car, yet then turn around and spout about how 240’s are crap. I dunno. heh

yes i agree, but that because they are hardly the be all and end all of the sport compact world. and thats what im trying to say.

the reason there are so many ratty 240s? because were kids. i dont have 20k to blow on a car, and if i did, i probably would have bought an s2000 or something along those lines and been quite happy. but i didnt, so i got a 240. im happy with it, and eventually, to my own schedual, it will be completed. so applesauce, just keep your mouth shut about peoples cars you dont like, unless you feel like paying for the shit you want us to have to bring them up to your standards. its as simple as that.

This is an absurd statement, in 2006 (your join date) the only reason a mediocre (s13 was of course lower) s14 went for like $8 500 is due to the fact that people were willing to pay for it, then over the course of a year and a half or so prices went on a steady decline because people realized that stock they were no big deal. Don’t try to justify paying too much for a simple 240sx just YOU might have…

Are you suggesting that owing a 240sx allows you entrance to some magical club that only rich people are allowed to join?
