ok...I was going on a class field trip from San Diego to the Museum of Tollerance(LA) i counted 9 s14's and 12 s13's....this was a 5 hour drive round trip total....every corner their was a 240, maybe its just me, and of course they dont make 240's any more, but have you guys noticed more 240's around town?

i think i notice more 240sx now because i actually am quite familiar with the look of them. since i have one, i sorta look for them while driving.

I saw a Sil-eight today. It's my first time seeing one in the US, because I live in NJ. But yeah, I have seen more S13s lately, but not too many S14s.

that's true.
please don't laugh at me for this, but when I was 5 or so, i had a fetish for sunroofs. so i would pay attention to a car to see if it has a sunroof, and it seems like every car has one, because I was looking. sounds weird, but just wanted to share.

ROFL!
well yeah, i mean people thought i was insane when i was pointing out the 240's, and thought i was some car robot guy, i dunno (dumbasses) and yes silvia driver i did go to 240 land, but that many 240's in that period of time? most of them had custom rims and just a blow off muffler(ghetto)....

for the longest time i had this huge hardon for crx's! i used to just sit there and watch for them... i loved the look of the newer ones and dreamed of the day i got one. :( but needless to say i never did, instead i got a 79 Chevy Pickup, 49er 2 tone! RIP

I live in sudbury ontario and we have a population of about 100 000 people
By my count, there are about 7 240s in town, s13 or s14
very very rare up here. Way too many cavaliers though.

in a 30 mile radius i have about 6 s14's and a whole sh!t load of s13's.. some are ricers and some are enthusiast. i've had my car for about two years now and when i just got that car, in that 30 mile radius me and a friend were the only two with them. IMO after the faf :( ppl started noticing the car (eww, zeal front, wheres nitekids:D) .
but anyways... get used to it guys because if ricers had it thier way the 240 would become the new civic. i say that beacause its affordable, looks good, rwd (great, getting kids to drift and wrecking more of the few that we have left) and fast (well faster than thier honda). i've learned to except it. it was bound to happen sooner or later.

What were you doing in my ghetto neighborhood? You'll get shot, fool! Anyway, you probably saw me driving home from work, cause i never hangout on el cajon blvd, ever! Except picking up hookers and stuff, but that's about it. And that white 240 in mira mesa, i think that's the guy that shows up at the meet we had. White S13, 6 spoke rims, exhaust, filipino dude. There's a girl who drives a white S14 at my work. It has "girlie" stickers in there. I've never seen her, though. I wonder if she's hot.

I feel ya'll, it seems like when I got my first 240 a couple of years ago you never saw them around. But now everywhere I go I see them. But I probably shouldn't complain cuz I know there are probably way more in CA than here!

In my area, I have seen more Ferraris than S14s. Especially, 97-98.

Is that for real? It doesn't rain at all? Does that mean when you wash your car it stays pretty clean for more than an hour--or does it get salt/sand on it from the ocean? :D (my brain can't imagine a place with no rain/sleet/hail/snow/etc)

here in san antonio, i've seen at most 3 s14s and several s13s. and i have been all over the city so it does not make a difference. the s14s are as rare as supras here, they mostly show up at the drag strips.
what we mostly see here are $hitloads of civics, accords, eclipse, and now and abundance of lancers.
