curse of the 240

who doesnt have a dent in their car? or if u dont have a dent have u had one?

im begining to think 240's are cursed to get damaged body-wise
drifting or not i see a lot of 240's get dents and dings or totalled


im bored n on drugs cuz im sick so if i dont make sense ignore me

I know a lot of 240s that have dents, scratches and just plain damage. And then there are those few that are clean lol.

all models have something in common. 240s got dents and sctratches, civics got those altezza taillights, mustangs got those 2 stripes on the hood, neons got those hubcap spinners.....

I know what you're talking about. If you look toward the front of my car in this pic you can see a little ding on the passenger fender.

wow.. you know, for a machine built almost 16 years ago, that's been going at speeds of over 100 for all of those years...
*chuckles* yeah. dents abound.
I live in /college/ housing. not only do i park in a parkinglot nightly, but in one w/ a bunch of immature ijit's that will ding your car w/ their doors & not care.
*shrug* dings... yeah. we got that... we also classically have bad compression on the #3 cylinder... what's your point?

mine has several...but i has had a hard life...the las thing that happened to it before the clutch went was when the previous owner ran over a spring and mattress set on the highway...I've got dents on all sides, broken driver's seat and a spring that is off it's perch on the front driver's side....she's kinda roung, but I can make her live again....on a side note, I thought that my Escort was cursed when within the first year of ownership I was t-boned in a parking lot by a blazer on the passenger side and then when parked in front of my house someone backed into the driver's side where the door and front fender meet....at least the first one had insurance, although the shop did a crap job at it...some luck...lol

I always see them with dents in the fenders. Thats the most common place. Most of them for sale fave mean dents too.
