That's awesome. I'm off today so I don't know what's going on but it's been rather slow.

Then why are you here? Go the **** away if you dont like it. No one is forcing you to be here.

And by the look of your avatar....your the douchebag L O L

It's a discussion about 240's. Some people like them, some people do not. Don't get all butt hurt about it.

Its good that my avatar is now going to be the focus of this forum. And i understand its a discussion about 240s thats fine, but what i dont understand is why it always turns into " everyone who has a 240 that isnt the original owner is a poser and is following the trend and wants to be a pro drifter " its just bull**** that it always has to turn into that and you cant ask a simple question. And i know that im not being forced to be here but im gonna stay here because SOME of the people on here are actually cool and sometimes you can actually read a thread without it being negative **** about someones car.

is it really that bad that there's a trend?
theyre not bad cars, they have good heritage.
and 240 being the new civic? are you serious?
i can still find a lot of people that dont know what one is, unlike a civic

to answer the original, first post and skip all the bitching
i like them cuz i worked on a couple with my friend, they were easy to learn on
and they're really easy to work on, who the hell wants to spend hours doing something simple?

I really hope that when u say 240s are the new civic. U meant as a trend. Because as a car it's 1000 times better than that little fwd rat. Civics are econo boxes. 240s were actually marketed as a sports car. The two don't even compare.

they are "the new civic" in the way that they are the new fad. For a while...the civic was THE ****. 90% of civics are beat to ****, riced out with multi colors/ugly bodykits and they are driven by people who think they are untouchable. There is that 10% that are REALLY well moded, well driven and the owners are knowledgeable and cool as hell. To me..the same goes for 240 owners. LUCKILY TST has mostly the 10% owners/cars who know about the 240, mod it tastefully and are generally informed about the car. I think people get a bad view on the 240 from seeing them daily...not from seeing them on TST. The reason its the new fad...is because its a great car to build on. rwd,manual, easy/cheap to make a good amount of power and the list goes on. They are great cars...it just depends on the owner. But the same goes with any car. 240s are just more available, so that makes it more noticeable.

Holy **** someone close this thread already. It's just opinions on the internet. We are not here to hold hands and ****, it's just a general car forum. Why does it always have to turn into a pissing match/dick measuring contest (no homo). It is just a damn car...

And yes to above poster, they are just a fad and tend to be readily availible. It'll come and go, and move on to the next car to hit the spotlight.

I'm just curious, is there something i'm missing?
drive one. you'll see what all the this is about.
