Posted by Samurai Chevy did the same thing with the Malibu... even as they launched the new 05 body, they ran the previous body as the 'Classic'. There was something funny about seeing a Malibu Classic running around after all those years. Samurai

Nissan did that with the Sentra, too. My girlfriend has a '93 Sentra, my boss has a '93 Sentra Classic... the classic looks like a shoebox in comparison. (The non-classic looks like a somewhat streamlined shoebox)

a friend of mine has a 93 Sentra XE sedan with a sick transmission... when it's cold out, it goes into overdrive, when it warms over 32F, it only shifts as far as Drive and stays there (operates normally otherwise). A nissan guy told him that it was a sensor inside the transmission that probably cost more than the car was worth, so he decided to demo-derby it this summer... or sooner depending on how some weekends compare to others.

I still would love a 240SX (and I am not a drift bandwagon weenie)... I'd stuff a 350 Chevy in it with some ridiculous forced induction setup.

People have done that with 240s, I've seen a few.

Drifting is sad IMO, but mainly since people act like it's some new hip thing, just because it's a Japanese trend. People have been doing that shit since moonshine runs for Christ's sake...haha. It's called powersliding. Hasn't anyone ever seen sprint cars or Super Modifieds before?

... or Rally cars?
hell, i perfected the drift in an FWD Cavalier on a snowy road... it's hjard to do with a front driver! And yeah, the whole bandwagon kid gang has driven the prices of 240's 280ZX's and other RWD Jap cars right into the stratosphere... I mean when an old RWD Corolla goes for anything over a 1K... fuck a duck there's something wrong with that.

I'd rather use a Camaro if I had to, and put a M.A.S.K. logo on it, because I'm "Matt Trakker"

i sometimes wonder if madness is contagious?
My brother had that Camaro when we were kids... I had the stupid-looking SUV.

Samurai

I had them all. I still say MASK was better than the toys for Transformers and GIJoe...

You mean the Jackhammer Bronco? With Cliff Dagger figurine? Some ass stole mine when I was little.

yeah, that was it... It was black and the guy was kind of a dufus on the cartoon... I always thought that he and Miles Mayhem were an abiguously gay duo as I got older... same with Destro and Cobra Commander.

but again, I digress...

Remember the GI Joe A.W.E. Striker dunebuggy? I wish i still had mine.

I had a pair of RWD Corollas, an SR-5 and a GT-S... after getting literally about 100 phone calls in one weekend, with people offering big money... no one showed up. Advertised them again, got a million calls, everybody wanted them... and no one showed up. So I scrapped them both. It felt great. Although, I still have the 4-AG driveline out of the GT-S... I'm thinking rwd Tercel.

As for drifting... I do "Canadian Drifting"... find a snow filled parking lot, and drive it like you stole it. I remember having my old '87 (Front wheel drive) Corolla out 4 or 5 years ago in a snowstorm, driving it like a rally car (even wearing a helmet) it was all good fun till the ratcher assembly jammed on the e-brake and I took out the neighbour's mailbox. Luckily enough, my neighbour watched it happen, and found it pretty damn funny (espeically the helmet).

We used to do the same thing in supermarket parking lots here, usually in my friends Mustang GT. Some a-hole called the cops on us one time, when we left school during lunch and went to go do it in the snowstorm that was starting, it was great.

I'm thinking I'll take my girlfriend out to an iced-over lot to teach her to drive standard... bit easier on the car.

Actually... she's probably the quickest to pick it up that I've taught so far (thank god)

Some four wheels of (well, lack of for now) fury (my project car...ish):



carburetor POS land yacht(well my dad's):



240, sherman tank, m1a2, call it whatever. It's indestructible (I've really tried too...)



850 A.K.A. the lemon. Going to be gone later (selling or dumping it back on my sis who destroyed the damn thing) and replaced with a RWD rocket....
