First night . . .

Whats up guys. So tonight was the first "real" time ive really got to drive my car. I was on the interstate I got on it pretty hard, and let me tell, I was dissipointed. I know alot of people said it was underpowered, but damn.

I love the car tho. Rides good, looks good. All that really matters.
I know I dont need a "high-perfomance" car, I dont wanna kill myself.

It was fun, so that all that matters.


And I have a question. There are green "dots" on all of my wheels and on my left brake light, anybody know what it is?

Thanks

Thats kinda what I was thinking. But I really dont think so. They guy I bought it from was real cool. He's been thru over 7 different 240's, races one. This was his wifes car.

It drives straight. Everything's cool with it. But I donno.

He's told me that all the vin's, panel's, etc... are all matching so I take his word.
(Anybody wanna run a carfax?)lol

Wait till you drive it through the twisties for your first time. That is where the true strength of the 240's show.

Very true. It's been awhile since I have driven a 240 with stock suspension. Coilovers make a world of difference.
