my best moment would have to be considered most scared and yet greatest driving moment:
well it was one of those rainy days, where the road is pretty slick, well after picking up my G/F from PCC, i was on my way home towards the 110 S, so i was on Del Mar when my G/F asked me something, i kinda forgot what, but she asked me while taking a turn, i wasnt paying attention to my speed that when i cleared the corner my tail end was starting to slide to my right, next thing you know i was looking at the center guard, thats when i knew something was wrong, so i kept the spin going a bit, eventually i did a 360, stopped, breathed and kept on driving, i was a bit shaky after words, i freaked out cause my G/F was in the car and i was fearful of getting her hurt, i can give a rats *** about myself in those situations. i was lucky the traffic saw what was going on and had the decency to stop. that was my greatest 240 moment, made me realize how much i love 240. ^_^

so far the greatest moment was picking up my 240 after I paid for it...I think my next moment on the horizon is getting some bits straightened out on her and dropping in the KA24DET that I am working on...out with the KA24e

Mine would have to be when I blew my tranny. well, not THAT moment....
I had no other car and work was right down the road...so ofc I had to drive her. Blew out second gear and over drive....went from 1st to 3rd...and it took a second at near 5-6 grand for her to shift....
so I'm stopped at this stop light and a new eclipse rolls up....had to be a 2001 - 2003....
anyway, light went green and we started slow, I hear him hit it a lil harder and so do I....I know first has some great p/u so we're both hauling and when I get to red line, it shifts into 3rd and I look over and we're still neck and neck....he eventually pulls away but not TOO far, I was right on his *** when he had to make his turn...
sad....a 93 240 with a blow tranny can keep up with a 20xx Mitsu Eclipse.....poor bastard....1800 for mine, 25000 for his.....lets think about this....
My car gets out of the shop tomorrow with a new rebuilt tranny....my poor baby...I MISS HER!!!
