> so sell your 240 and get a civic. it kinda pisses me off that your putting down the 240 saying its not worth your time or money. since when have cars become to old to invest money into.

I never “put down” the 240, I am enjoying mine very much by keeping it original and mint. A civic btw is the last car I would ever own. Classic cars that appreciate in value are an investment, I’m sorry the 240 is not an item that will increase in value significantly, once again this is not an insult at the 240 but unless everyone is planning to keep their car for another 40 years, don’t call putting money into a 240 an investment because there is no return! I understand that there is a sort-of self satisfaction and investment of time for yourself in knowing you did the work, made it fast, etc. However, I think you can agree that there is no monetary value in it.

For everyone else, I don’t disagree with you guys spending money….I mean hey it’s your money! I was just offering my opinion towards things. It’s great that you guys love modifying your 240’s, making them go faster, learning about them, etc… but its not for everyone….like me!
