I'll be 28 at the end of this year and have been daily driving a 240 for my entire driving life so far. Bought my S13 when I was 17 (same time I joined Zilvia, 2003), and my S14 when I was 22. Still driving and building the S14 daily.

It's been a very fun 10 years.

theres a guy that comes to the local meet around here in his S14. He is a lawyer in his 60's.

Ha...I think that's THE qualifier for "old timer" around here.

Amarok.org 240SX e-mail list...before forums, 56k was as good as it got, and we chatted 240SX stuff by group e-mail.

The good old days? haha...

...

On topic: I don't daily mine anymore - It racked up 100,000 miles from 1997 to 2004 as my DD...and has been a weekend car (HPDE, autocross) since.

I guess compared to the current demographic here on zilvia im an old timer.

In the grand scheme of things i would like to think im pretty young.

End of the year will be 10 years for me. Been lurking since 01, crazy.

Do I count as old? I hadn't driven my 240 for over a year and just got it inspected and registered today to get ready for autocross next week.

EDIT: Sometimes I wonder if Phlip still has those injectors I bought so many years ago and never picked up. LOL

I bought her brand new in Sept 1995. I've been daily driving her since:



Original paint aside from the kit.



I have an endless love for this Silvia. Oh I'm 42. Lol

I've had a S13 since high school. Test drove a few from the dealerships. Still remember that new car feeling.

Bought a "test" version of lowering springs from suspension techniques in 1990. Bought a NEW set of SSR EX-C fins in 1991. Was pretty tough to get parts back then. Took a while for the US market to fully embrace the S13/S14 aftermarket. Had to import stuff directly from Japan.

Owned 15 cars since then (4 of which were S13's). Still drive one every other day.

I am 40 now. So that makes it 2 decades. Wow how time flies. No plans to ever part with the S13. Maybe give it to my son if he wants it.

Caint hold a candle to that but, I'm the second owner of mine, bought her in the summer of '02. Joined this site and been lurking around shortly after. She gets less and less miles put on her every year...that kinda crap happens when one gets married and has a kid on the way.

I'll be that guy to say I had mine at 18. 26 now. Wrecked the first, got another and have been daily driving her till just a couple months ago. Bought a FR-S.

FaLKoN240

2004 I got my first 240 at 18

Crashed it a couple of times trying to be a cool mountain racer.

2006 Sold it, bought a black 93 in Pacifica, turned out to be a rust bucket. Sold it a week later.

Used the money from selling the rust bucket to buy my favorite S13, it was a perfect super black hatch. Had it for a year before it was taken away from me (asshole MKIII Jetta crashed into it while it was parked)

2007 bought a modified shell swapped over parts from my favorite s13 and made it KA-T with my insurance money. Sold it after it kept blowing $350 ecus from Enthalpy because of a chassis short.

2008-2010 Messed with a bunch of shitty RWD i6 Toyotas

2011 bought a white 1992 with a S13 blacktop SR, sold it at the end of the year to pay for college. Daily drove an Integra for a year. Sold that Integra and bought an Accord wagon that I drove for a year.

2013 Flew to LA to buy and drive back home the S14 that I own, dd, and modify currently.

I've tried to get away. But I know in my heart that I love these cars. I can't find anything close to replacing it.

blessedhellrider

ahh man ,thought this was about old timer knives lol. !

naw have had my s13 for 11 years now. :P

LOL. That picture got me laughing. I remember back in the day when kids would walk around with their pagers on their waist. Many of them didn't even have them activated. Just carrying it to look cool. LOL.

I'm 33, but i don't think of myself as old. I daily drive mine up until last Wednesday when I got into my first fender bender. It's going to get back on the street though and i'll continue to daily it.

Do I qualify, been driving 240's for 8 years and been a zilvia member since 06?

Have had a 240 for 12 years now. Parents bought one brand new in 92 so naturally I inherited it when I turned 16.

At 30 I don't consider myself an old timer, but I've been around for a while to see quite the amount of changes throughout the community. Still have the 240 (bought in 2001), but now that I'm in a city environment it's locked away in storage at the moment.

Likewise....I still remember doing the roller paint job after seeing your other car. A shame I left VA after you moved there or else I would have met you in person too.
