You know U have a 240 when...
You try explainign to people that yours is bigger than theirs... the engine, since its 2.4 and most civics and stuff are like 1.8, 2.0. 2.2......
You lafgh when you read the sticker in the glove box and says "passengers: 4"
you have more gas turnign left than turning right
when it rains everyone at the races go home... except those few "privileged" RWD
People say that your car is good b/c they make crazy payments on their 2006 one's.... like we don't have a money pit on parts and labor on ours.
Sometimes you dream..... "I wonder how where the 240's at the dealers, how where they showcased... did they ever apeared on Car and Driver television? I wish I could go to the past and buy a brand new S15/14/13 rigth away, and save it in a box until today"
when you talk to girls about your car and you say "I got a 240" and they have no idea.
People recomend to you to put Acura tail lights on ur car. Sure they fit perfectly, but Its Honda, and you take great insult on it.
People go like "hey man, can you drift right there, I wana see it!" and in ur mind ur like "yeah sure, just pay for my 95$ tires and some gas, *******"
When everyone has a bad *** car, at the races, and they are all superior, and faster, and better looking... you always have that tought in yor head "at least I can drift"
When its raning, and you see a Honda behind you, you can't wait for a courve.
EVERYONE tells you to put a Silvia engien in it, without even knowing anything about it, and when its more complicated than that, and there are more powerful engines.
When some people Try to Force you, and actually Try to make you believe and prove you wrong, sayign that some 240's are turbo. Even the mechanics ask you if its turbo or not. when you know that Silvias are turbo, not 240's
When all the Hondas brag about their HP, but you know you got lots of it stock, and even more Torque, and their have ridiculous amounts of torque compared to yours
And OMG it is true: You find 240 numbers on EVERYTHING in the world. and anything that ends in 240 or starts at that you get the thought of ur car
And when you watch a driftign video you tell ur friends "thats my car right there... and there, and there, there, there.... and there it is again..." or "thats a s15...14...14...13...13..13..15...14...13...14"

You know that no matter what you try your 240 just doesn't like the snow.
You've learn that the stock seats on a Nissan 240 is the worst thing you will ever sit in.
You have trouble explaining why everytime you see a huge wing on a Honda/Acura you wan'na cry.
You've thought about sanding down the paint and just spray painting the car black cause you think there is a slight chance it will look better.
You try to explain to people that once your car is finally built to a descent standard it will be better than any of these Honda's because your car is so rare and you will have something unique and then another S13 drives by.
You actually have thought about having a happy 20th birthday party for you car cause you know it's just 3 or 4 years away.
Well that's all for now.

you look at civics with that "im higher in the food chain" kinda attitude
when you fill your tank, you can go days until it hits half a tank, then after that, it goes from half to "E" in a matter of hours
the motor swap of your dreams is either a 4 cylinder or an inline 6

you know you own a 240 when you know EXACTLY what angle to park your car at so it doesn't look short.
...when you love how everyone thinks your car is slow, then you just laugh when you bomb down the road as you drive away.

When you've unhooked your exhaust and are setting at a stop light in town and this 5.0 mustang pulls up beside you and actually feels so intimidated by the 2.4L lope that he takes a right and gets on it only to find that his car doesn't sound as good as a no exhuast 240. Ah, good memories...
