Wow, hitting a cow must have been crazy! My first car was a 1982 Volkswagen Cabriolet. Blue automatic convertible. Pretty cool for a first car :). One time I was rallying it through some esses on a dirt road, spun it twice, and slammed into a dirt wall... It came back from that one, luckily.

My first car was a 1991 BMW 325IC in red.. I never got to drive the car, it was a hand me down from my mom, I took it in the back of our house to detail it and wash it, and while backing up i ran into our car port, roof fell on it and bent the A frame, The insurance declared it a total loss. Then i got money to buy a 1989 VW Jetta GLI Wolfsburg Edition..It was one of my favorite cars till this day. Had H&R 2" Springs, Koni shocks, 15x7.5 BBS RX..It handled very well..

'93 jeep cherokee, totalled it by running it into the back of a chevy Z71 all the way down in the keys, had to get it towed back. drove it for 2 more years then got the 240 brand new. i still love that car, even though i messed up the passengers side door, and someone backed into it and ruined the beautiful front end....:assassin the bastard.

My first car was a black 96 Camaro RS (the V6 model), it was an nice car but I had always really wanted an 8 with leather and t-tops so I got my 95 trans am leather, loaded t-tops and only 38k miles. I have had it for about a year and a half and have no complaints. Now I just need to find a nice 240 to have fun with. Tyfoon are you looking into a v6 or v8 camaro, 3rd gen or 4th gen? I would check out www.camaroz28.com for any info you need. If you have any questions just let me know.

86 Mazda 626 GT Turbo Hatchback. Black with 16" alloys (factory). Rearended my buddies bonneville in the rain :(

I tell you another car that i would like to modify along with my 240sx would be a SC300. Swap the motor for a 2JZ and lay down some serious power :)

1987 Pontiac Lemans Four Door.

The car was beat on. I used to go to paintball games with 5 guys in the car and the trunk full of equipment. The brakes would smoke when we got home.

I went thru sets of calipers, rotors and pads on a bi-monthly basis.

I ended up calling it a day when the car stalled on me. I thought it was a timing belt. I had the belt replaced and the car didn't start. The mechanics took the valve cover off and found I had cracked the camshaft.

I kind of miss that car. I had some good memories in it.

I love it and I own it for 4 years now. But sins I've moved to Belgium I'm beeing trashed at the stoplights buy Turbo Diesels even though it's got an 1.8 litre engine with 129HP (standerd) only in 1st gear.
But now I'm looking for a new ride and my eye has fallen for an 240 sx 1994 1.8 turbo with 18" rims.
