It might just be me or only the people in my area but noone around here seems to know what they are talking about when it comes to the 240. It just seems to be a new fad to them to the whole "Import Scene."
Here are a select few comments I recived on my 97 240.
"Is that a Silvia Front End?"
"Wow nice Silvia Conversion"
"Is that a Skyline GTR?"
Also a comment made on my friends 91 Fast back.
"When are you gonna do the Silvia conversion on it?"
(Uh huh you mean 180SX?)
Also a comment made about the feature car in the new import tuner(S14 with S15 front)
"Yeah now that's the REAL Silvia conversion"
yeah what the fuck are you talking about REAL silvia conversion
Bla bla Bla I'm just ranting here

I know what you're saying.... idiots.
They're just people who see cars in magazines or tv and figure everyone has one. They're just misinformed <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'>

Welcome to the real world, my name is Rob. You can sit anywhere. Let me tell you something about the real world before you start your WONDERFUL journey.
PEOPLE SUCK!
People want to have something to talk about so they seem to have a moderate intellegence somewhere in the import tuner soaked brain. They want to impress you with their knowledge of the most recent power pages and let you and the world know, they kinda sorta know how to swap a h22a into their CRX.

I know exactly what you are talking about. People at my ford dealership all hate fords, and are starting to admire my 90 fastback <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> I have convinced one of the more intelegent ones to change their dream car from a turbo GSR to a 97-98 240sx! Unfortunately he is one of those trendy people who think the sr20det is the only way to go! I still have a little more work to do on this kid, but he is comming around nicely.
Other dumbasses are asking me the same questions..."when are you going to do the silvia conversion?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>" NEVER
"Why don't you get rid of that truck motor?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> B/C it isn't one!
We need to write to SCC and tell them to stop making our cars trendy! Who's w/ me?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>???

I concur w/ all of ya. When I 1st got my 92 240, a guy asked me why didn't i get a honda,he said that they were faster than the 240. hmmm how interesting to hear these comments all the time. The import scene is coming to an end with these idiots.

Yup, I've gotten such comments too. Especially the "is that a skyline?" question. It sucks that our cars are becoming the new "trend". Seems like everyone and their mother wants a 240 now.

yup, you know you love it. don't even bother apologizing.
Anyways, the USDM version is better, so what's the big deal?? It's like, if I owned a Civic Si, and someone asks me if I'm gonna do a DX conversion......
Yeah, damn, some people are just plain retarded.

People have given me... "...is that a skyline?"
And since we're on the topic of stupid people...
I got my car inspected recently, and in MA the car has to go on the dyno for emissions.
I watched the guy as he loaded the front wheels on to the dyno! I screamed at him from the waiting room... I had visions of my car being launched through the service bay wall. ... "it's a rwd car man..." to which he responded "no way, you shittin' me? I thought all these little four bangers were FWD!"
I was glad when I left that funny farm... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>
