Oh good. Another anti-drift/savethe240 thread.

I knew what drifting was long before I even knew what a 240sx was. The ONLY reason I bought a 240 was to drift it. If I ever decide to give up drifting, I will immediately rid myself of anything 240 related. There are many newer, more comfortable, maintenance free, modern sports cars to choose from. Why would I continue to drive an outdated, outdated, expensive to maintain, outdated, '90s, coupe? I have a great job, don't need to be daily driving around like I'm living in poverty.

So why did I choose the 240 as my drift platform? Simple financial reasons. They cost less than a months rent! When I eventually ram a 240 into the wall hard enough to kill the frame, I can strip my 20K of parts and bolt everything onto the next victim 240. A drift-totaled 240 will set me back only a grand, whereas a wrecked 370z/RX-7/FR-S would be a loss of 10K plus.

I'm sure my forged wheels will survive. The baller wheel circle-jerk fellas tell me cast Rota/XXR/Varrstoen wheels will shatter like thin glass, but forged wheels provide ABS braking, weather control, zero gravity, time reversion, and survival of a nuclear holocaust. My Isis suspension arms, on the other hand, will allegedly spontaneously combust and kill everyone present.

These cars are staying on the road MUCH longer than other vehicles. When did you last see an '89 Cavalier on the street? '89 Eclipse? How about an '89 Accord? 240s aren't being scrapped at the first wall tap. If the front or rear end gets eternally compromised (to the point of halving the cars overall length) the damaged section gets chopped off, tubed, new overfenders, new bodykit, then drive, crash, repeat.

If anyone is opposed to the missile crisis club, they can simply buy a Rustang or Slowmaro. You don't see drift damage on those things; if they even attempt to corner on throttle, they get sliced in half by the nearest oak tree. Next stop, car crusher.

Some people need to give up their binky, blankie, and 'Love can last forever' attitude. People are born, live life to the fullest, then they DIE! I'm starting a new moment called "Ethical 240 treatment"

CARS DESERVE TO DIE TOO!!!
