I was just looking through my photo collection, and found a whole bunch from my road trip to Canada. I decided to share all of the ones that have my old car in them. The 240 was, after all, the star of that trip since she's the one that got us there and back.

We're big fans of Scrabble, so we had to stop for this one...

The idea of a liquor store on the side of the highway seemed a little odd to us. We stopped, bought some cokes, put rum in them (only one shot for me - the driver), took this picture, and continued on our way...

This is the kind of sign you only see this far North, I guess. Anyway, we thought it was funny...

It was past nightfall by the time we made it to the border, so this picture blows, but here it is anyway...

In the morning, I noticed where I had parked the night prior: right next to someone else with New Jersey plates!! Personally, in Montreal, I thought that was an amazing coincidence...

This one I just took for fun. I've switched the digital display to the native km/h readout.  How convenient...

We all loved this sign, because the idea of the United States being a foreign country just sort of put the whole trip in perspective...

And, okay, I lied. They aren't all 240sx pictures. I saw this sculpture in Montreal and loved it. I dunno, I guess I can just really relate to it sometimes...

Well, hope you enjoyed them. =)

I'm currently uploading pictures from the last year's Dallas meet (In December). Me and my beautiful boyfriend took a trip from Chicago to Dallas and had a digital camera along the way. We came to some rather interesting sights along the way. We went past a city called &quot;cooter&quot;. We thought of stealing the highway board that said &quot;cooter&quot; but it was too large and would attract unwanted attention. However, neither of us remembered that we had a thing called &quot;a digital camera&quot; with us, so the pictures remain... well... untaken.

I do, however, have about 40 pictures of a fraction of the 240SX population of the greater Dallas area, and, wow. That's all I have to say. I do miss Dallas <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. I loved it there.

But yes, the pics are being uploaded today... tonight...finally after three months <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.

I'm sorry that I'm boycotting your topic, Jeff <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. Cool pics!

Next time you pass in Montreal, come visit the Nissan scene here, up North! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> &nbsp;We're quite a few now. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Hey what is that thing on your trunk lid? Where the latch usually is?

sykikchimp - it kinda does make me miss her.

badmojo - yeah, but the honda is just as clean, and convertible season has officially arrived. =)

s13girl - thanks. =)

240sx - it's not that far away at all - only six hours - but it seems far away because you're in a whole new country.

But, note that there are two other people in those pics. &nbsp;Plus me, that means three people in a 240sx. &nbsp;Ask the friend who rode in the back seat how long six hours is. &nbsp;
=)

halo - seriously, I would love to.

dj machine - It's just a sticker. &nbsp;Above the lock, it says &quot;Santana&quot;, and there's a bird spreading it's wings out on either side of the lock itself. &nbsp;I thought it looked cool until someone asked me I drove a Firebird. &nbsp;Granted, this person was ignorant beyond conceivable belief, but still, it was enough to make me remove the sticker anyway.
