Conversation with a kid about my car

[Natty]

I was skipping class today and when I was still in the parking lot, some guy in my rear view mirror was waving his hands, motioning me to stop. So I put it in reverse and see whats up. I roll my window down and they guy was complementing my car. He asked me what kind of engine and performance it has, and he mentions it reminds him of his Eclipse (older one). He asks to pop the hood, looks around and makes some nice comments. I couldn't believe it! Some one complementing my STOCK S13 fastback. I love this car so much, after only 3 months. I have had so many statements. No one knows what the hell it is either, or that is from 1991,has 150k miles, it was cheap, and their jaws drop when I say it is RWD.  
He talked about his modded eclipse, showed me pics, and saked if I was doing anything to my car. At least he didn't ask if I drift or suggest "NAWZZZ."
Just thought I would share one more reason I absolutly love my Nissan!

Oh, another common phenomena.
EVERYONE that sits in it looks at the speedo and remarks, "This thing looks so fast, but it only does 110 &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>" I hate that.
Then I have to explain that the speedo means nothing, and that fuel cut off is around there. Then I have to tell them that you can hit the fuel cutoff like a wall.
I wonder how fast I can go though...

Hey big dog,
You may want to start watching your ride a little more closely from now on if you got folks running up to your ride

I love how people who aren't into cars at all comment on how badly you need to lower it because they think the front looks rediculious.

I've had some nice comments too but usually only from fellow nissan freaks...

Well actually, he said he works for a local audio shop that can get lots of performance parts ordered.
He was skipping class to smoke and I was leaving so I wanted to get out fast before the parking nazi's came by. He asked to see the hatch when I said I didn't want to do naything back there, but we both had to get going &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/lookaround.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':look:'>
I can get used to all the attention I am getting though. And think, I start modding in June <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

man last friday this person left a note on my car saying he was interested in purchesing it. I was like cool hehe then thinking well sorry this is not for sale for anything under like 8-9 grand. Yes i know i have a '93 coupe but it is in good shape and has only 66k miles on it AND I JUST GOT TO START DRIVEING it like about two weeks ago. And it is fully paid for so i don't think he will be buying it from me.

first time i hit my fuel cut, i hit it so hard it stalled my poor little S13.... &nbsp;i freaked out wondering what i had done to my poor little car, then had the sense to turn the key back then turn the car back on <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

When I got my S14 I noticed that more girls were staring at me while I was driving though <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;
Now THAT'S why I bought MY car <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

About 6 months ago, a guy in an '89 240 followed me into my apartment complex and asked me how much I would sell my car for. His '89 was backed into and totalled and he was getting like $2500. He asked if I would sell it for $8000 because he had a friend selling a '95 w/ over 100,000 and he wanted $7000 for it. I told him I wouldn't sell it for less than $10,000 (my bank pay-off at the time) because of the miles and condition (I had just had a new clutch, tires, & timing chain) and the $1600 transferrable extended warranty that's good until 99,000. Needless to say, he never called for a test-drive. I'm glad he never called. I LOVE MY CAR!!!!
