What has your 240sx taught you?

I've been thinking....

I've always been into cars (and trucks, and... umm, well, vans) since I was a kid. But, when I got my license, my first "car" was a minivan (as seen in some previous pictures I've posted). Even though it wasn't the most reliable thing and I had to work on it pretty often, but I never really learned much with it.

On the 5th day straight of working on my car, I realized that it wasn't untill the S14 that I learned the majority of what I know about cars. Like, recently, my car has been teaching me that patience is the best "skill" for working on projects.

Oddly, I had an S13 before the S14, but never really learned too much from it :P

So, what has my S14 taught me?
1. Everything there is to know about what can go wrong with a turbocharging system
2. Suspension component affects on handling (I've unfortunately been through a bunch of combinations of setups from the base to half modified SE)
3. Tires.... the stickier the better...
4. Stock brakes suck braking hard from 100mph


Actually, now that I think about it:
what did my S13 teach me?
Speed limiters suck
