Just curious to know how many old farts (myself included) still role around in 240/silvia's on the daily or on weekends?

Felipe

At what age does some one become an oldfart? lol

but since your about my age, i guess i would be an old fart, but then again i dont have a 240 anymore so i dont qualify as an oldfart with a 240 lol

And theres lots of them...

Bought my S14 in 2001 when I was 21, dailyed it until I almost died crashing it.
Got my S13 in 2004 with no engine/trans and in need of some stuff, then I dailyed IT from from 2005-2011...
...then my daughter was born and I bought a reasonable car, I might have put 3000 miles on my 240 in the almost 2 years since.

I'm kinda in the same boat as Phlip. Once my daughter was born it was down hill from there. I'll have mine up forsale soon, because there's no more time for it.

When it comes to age I might be in that phase where I start denying the fact that I'm getting older, but I still drive my 240sx around. This all may change when I have a kid(s).

Eh 38, married. 3 kids with a graduated highschooler as of Sat. I daily my car and put close to 15k a year on it.

I am at the point where if the right offer came, I would let it go, then turn and get a fun car that I could actually carry her around in.
I have actually been scouting prospects for that
Sucks too, because I finally got it painted last year

I have put less than 4k miles on my car and its been 2 years since its rebuild. It just sits pretty on the side of my house. I assume yours does the same now

I'm turning 28 this year, married and with a 5 yr old. I still daily my 240, can't let it go. Last year I put about 15k miles, the year before that about 10k miles. I'm on my 3rd 240,

the first one I had to let go in 2003 because I wanted to have a ninja 636 and wanted to only pay insurance for one (I know, I didn't realize it was so cheap until after I sold the car)

The second 240 I sold because my son was born and 2 family cars were needed. Strapping my son in the back was not an easy job being that I'm 6'2 (also sold my beloved Ninja)

My 3rd one came along when my son turn 3, now 5yrs old and he loves riding in the front with me (of course, carseat and all) also had to upgrade one family car to a mk6 GTI


All in all, I'm glad I found this thread.... Glad to hear I'm not the only one

I'm more of an enthusiast now.... No more messing around in it like I did 10 yrs ago (excuse the long story)

I turned 30 this year. I've been dailying an S14 since I was 20.

jamg

blows my mind to know some ppl have been on here for a decade..

punn303

I'm 38 and have had the same coupe since 02. Used to daily it when we had a secured parking lot at work, now I just cruise it on the weekends. Still fun to drive, don't see myself selling it anytime soon.

I DD my 91 coupe before I put it in the garage for surgery. I will DD it again when it has recovered.

I also have a 98 that is in the process of a full build.

Been on zilvia for almost 11 years.

Sold mine a few years ago now. Still kills me. I wish I had it.

My 09 Murano makes me miss it a little less though.

It's hard seeing such nice 240's though posted on FB though. Makes me want to go drop a few grand and pick up a nice clean stock one again.

I say take it to the track! I made the mistake of waiting till I was 40 to start. Wish I had started much younger. Us truly old farts still love driving them. I have a 91 SR20DET swapped hatch and my racing partner, who is a year older than I am (we've been friends since high school), won the SCCA SE division ITA championship in his 90 KA24E coupe.



So yea, you're never too old to enjoy a 240!

I'm 47 and reading "I'm a little older about to turn 26" made me laugh. Anyone else remember the 240SX mailing list? I have no kids so that is probably why I still obsessively modify and drive my toy so much.

1996 Bought 1st S13 1990 hatch
1998 Nitrous on the SOHC KA
2000 SR Swap
2002 Opened Heavy Throttle
85 customer swaps, 17 240sx bought & sold and 129 JDM engine sets later
2006 sold my original S13 for $12k
2007 bought current convertible for $2600
2008 closed HT
2013 1st time painting a car myself - about to begin June 5th!

silnv

I bought a few random swap accessories from you back in the day. Used the wiring information numerous times. Sad to see the shop closed.

I am about to lay my first paint as well. Good luck to you!

I'm 31 and still daily my streetable S13. (I refuse to drive my husband's '97 Avalon... Now that's an old fart car. -_-') Sadly my track S13 hasn't seen the light of day for the last 2.5 or so years. I usually save the Evo for weekends or for a good 'pick me up' when I need it.

BTW... Being in your 30's isn't really old... Think of what you'll be saying when you're 60. :P
