yea like i love my 240 and i love my jeep. i feel like im kinda neglecting my jeep though because i dont take it offroad as much as a jeep should lol but i cant beat it up too bad because its my dd. it gets bad gas and doesnt fit anything in it so only time i drive it is going to work in morning and offroading lol. drive the 24 everywhere else. and just joyriding last night. had some nasty drifts. then my friend was driving it and he got pulled over going 50 ina 25 then 70 in 45 lol. cop just gave us a warning haha. lucked out do much that night. and before that we were driing around his talon tsi through backroads on a one lane road and a car came over a hill we had to swerve off the road, his car shut off so couldnt control the slide really well and his power steering shut off and we almost hit a telephone pole. we had someone upstairs on our side last night lol

Really? I carry my 19 year old on the Cherokee because it is cheaper than my wife's 2007 Vibe or my (ok, technically I still own it, even though my son took it to college) 2007 Mazda5.

He wanted the Jeep and I told him "No"

If you live in the city and drive a lot and dont plan on wheeling, Id go for the 240sx contrary to what a lot of people on this forum say. But if you want to go wheeling or have the slightest urge Id get the XJ. Either way both are fine vehicles if you take care of them. Personally Im a bit partial to a 240sx with an RB twin turbo swap. I had a buddy in HS who bought an R32 GTR front clip from japan and did the engine swap. That thing flew and was fun as hell to drive. gas is gonna be better with the 240 also.

honestly... how old are you? do you really have nothing better to do then argue with a 17 year old over the internet.
no wait thats what happens when you think building cars is actually ricing them out. lol i think i wanna be like you when i get older ahahahahah
You're really not the brightest bulb in the house, shipmate.

My "s2gay" ran 13.8 all motor on street tires. I also do auto-x with it. It also looks pretty nice in most peoples' opinions. Believe me when I say it's a lot better than 98% of the 240sx that are out there. Hell, I'd bet even my tahoe would run a faster time.

I train racehorses (successfully might I add) for a living and have since I was 17. I'm now 22.

You sound a little jealous, Mr. Fresh. Then again, the fastest car you've ever driven is your mom's RSX and you think speeding in traffic is cool.

Do the world a favor and get the 240SX so presents won't be the only thing your family is wrapping up in a box this Christmas.

Cant hate on s2k's there awesome cars. But now stance nation i cant hate on they do have awesome looking cars, but dont serve a purpose so i can see your point.

But this spring im going to crush my accord and add some camber, and some nice vip wheels. something you'd see on stance nation, simple and clean, just stance etc etc etc. Will my accord handle, no. be fast, no. But its my DD and i cant own a fast car that handels cause i feel the need to speed and be ok to leave my house 10min late, i cant get anymore points i have a CDl. just my 2 cents

got some hostility in this thread haha. if u want something your most likely gonna keep a dd go for the 240. itll last a while, good gas milage, and be a fun car to drive. my jeep for example i drive to work and offroad. thats it. not fun to drive on road but i love how it looks. 240 is fun all the time. and im checking out a wrx so hopefully selling the xj and 240 so let me know if your interested haha

I just think cars look so much better when they're purpose built.

There's a couple of accords that used to run around town with some built H22's and were plenty fast.
