My new car!

The Camry is gone....but in it's place is the first car I seriously considered buying when I turned 18. A 240SX. Too bad this one is auto, but only 87,000 KM on it and in pretty mint condition. I was scared sh!tless of it when I got it since I hadn't been in a rear drive car in about 6 years, but it's a wikked car to drive. It's not as comfortable as the Camry (any drive longer than an hour makes me seriously consider getting a set of aftermarket seats), it's loud, and doesn't hold as much (NOT a good road trip car, considering it's not comfortable after an hour and doesn't hold more than a snow-board and some luggage), but it was my first AFFORDABLE dream car back in the day. All in all, I love my new car, but I think I'll be back to Toyota...when I can afford one of their rear drive creations...LEXUS BABY!

No real plans for it. Just some 17" and that's it. Too many more 'adult' priorities in the works and I can't afford to put too much more money into a car now. If my ass really needs it, maybe a Sparco Milano seat for me (and a passenger side one if my gf wants one too).

Yes...a VERY good choice...I do love it, despite it's shortcomings (like a handbrake that jabs into your leg whenever it's not engaged) and you posted before I replied to trdcamry2003.... MY A$$ GIVES A SHIT!

Aww, its not right to not slam it and grab a front lip at the very least. Nice car, love the Kouki S14's.

Slam it? Not unless you wanna donate one of your multitude of cars to me for use as a winterbeater... I already almost got stuck during the snow last week!

Front lip... my buddy is trying to find an OEM one for me...but with the snow...I dunno....again...snow could be a problem...

My car's lowered, no problems.

The OEM lip is one of the better looking ones, others just look out of place, especially with the OEM sides.

That Gen5 Camry parked across the street in the first photo would have been nice.

My mom's got a red Gen5 in the garage...i don't like it...Gen3 camry (followed closely by Gen4 Camrys) were the bomb-diggity!

I don't get everyone's fear of RWD in snow tho... good snow tires and smart driving will save you everytime! (the LSD helps too.. )
