Description is accurate - salvage, junk, not running, no title, parts car.

It's TX, so there won't be any rot.

It's $300. This is $200 less then scrap but reflects the no-title problem. Need the titles to scrap a car.

An industrious person could give her $200 and make $1500 off it. Part it out and cut up the rest for scrap.

Didn't actually read the whole thing, didnt realize it wasn't her car. Just read the first line and lol"d

Not saying it was a bad deal, i wouldn't have clicked on it if it was. Just thought it was funny that people dont take the time to do a quick google search so they know more about what they"re selling.

Being uninformed is DIW

[zombiewolf513]

My favorite is when people that are trying to be convincing about how much they know about these cars say "black top s14 sr20" or "slant top s14 sr20".

We should just start making up random meaningless terms and see if we can get people to use them.

"Ya, thats the snuki front bumper, it was only offered on cars made in 87" etc etc.

"I see your s14 has the 07 silverado style headlights"

I don't think there's anything wrong with differentiating between the different motors and cars.

After all a zenki and kouki are different on the outside and the inside as well as the motors.

The problem is when people don't know what the difference is.

I have an SR20det.

It had a wrinkle black valve cover. People all think it's an S14 or S15 "black top".

They also don't realize there are Zenki Rx-7s or Kouki 350Zs. It's a stupid Japanese slang term for early, mid and late.

Or they want to argue if a 240sx is "really" an S13.

And 1995 AD is the last year of 1995 AD.

Everyone wins

Pretty sure she meant for the s14, because you know, people are very concerned at what was the last year for zenki S14"s.

Whatever man

Or like when people do not believe that the drophead 240SX Silvia was not offered in Japan.

It's basically a shortcut to knowing they're an idiot now.

It's pronounced

"Type-X"

[ryandriftingfat]

Type X is a trim of the kouki 180sx, not a sub-generation. Based on your join date and post count I'm hoping you know that and are being facetious.

That's the problem with the internet these days you can't tell if people are genuinely retarded or just trying to be funny. Even when you call someone out for being a dipshit they pretend like they were "trolling" to save face.

Like this guy...

Does he not know that convertible silvias were sold in japan or is he trying to be a wiseguy. One of those things in life we will never know, like how magnets work and shit.

They got that drop head s15

Being 'restricted' to go not go fast doesn't mean braking distance is not an issue either. Being in the rust belt you should know better. If those car can reach the speed limit, the braking distance and car control is definitely a big factor.

Maybe in Canada, there's no documented proof or anecdotal evidence, but down here in MURICA, there's a bumper stickers, cell phone ads, movie commercials, tv commercials, mur..myr...walls with people's names on it. I don't know how much a literal shitton is, but however much it is, THAT'S how much stuff there is on texting and driving.

But, because you seem to have missed my point, I'll point it out.

I keep a fire extinguisher in my 240. I've seen a good number of modded 240s catch fire... you never know. I don't have it bolted to a roll bar or something lame it's just on the floor behind the passenger seat.

The fail is the lack of interior photos.

Someone should buy it and drift limo.
