So why doesn't your boy wanna drive the 240sx?
Those cars are cool as hell. I'd drive it. Is it a 5sp?
They're good cars. RWD is fun!
I like the looks of the Solstice but it's very cramped. Very little cargo space if you could even call it that. It seems to be more of a Sunday afternoon drive car to me. The wife loves it though so it works out just fine.

Our son really could care less about driving. He's got a group of friends, all really good kids who we've known since they were in grade school, and all of them drive. They go places together and someone else is always driving, so he really doesn't have to. They're at our house half the time anyway. Hard for me to understand because I started driving at 14. Meh. It could be worse.

We bought the 240sx from a friend. It's set up for autocross and is a blast to drive! I take it out on twisty backroads for giggles.

I've got a couple really little dings I need to fill in the passenger side quarter.
I laid a guide coat down and found some small blemishes I'd like to take care of. I figured I better do it right if I'm gonna spend the time at all.
I've been too lazy lately, though, really. It's still in Primer.

I see. Some kids are just like that. My sister was. She couldn't have cared less about driving.
Boy, not me. I was just like you, driving at 14. My buddy had an '86 Civic 5sp that I drove all the time. No learning involved. I just got in and drove it. Weird how different people are. My sisters still can't drive a 5sp.

The 240SX is a blast to drive, you're right. Two of my friends had them. My other buddy had a 280Z that was fun, too.

Default My Rides

I drive a 2008 Tundra DC rolling on 24"s, 2008 1krr, 2002 yamaha grizzly 660, 1984 CR500R fins rule, this bike is crazy but I don't ride it much just when I want to **** off the people next door.
My wife has a 2005 Jeep Liberty, a 2009 Yamaha V Star 650 Custom, well I guess the V Star is mine to since she has only rode it twice this summer for about 25-30 miles.I put the rest on it.

There you go. Maybe not in your work rig, but if you could find an old trailer noboy's using, it'd be a perfect temporary garage. Back it in right beside your regular garage, fill it up, slap a lock and custody seal on it and problem solved!

I have the same issue. One small single car garage with 2 bikes 2 cars, a truck, and a jeep.
