Did Norm post yet? lol.

How the crap did we all get so old so fast?
Oh well. I'm 32, everyone thinks I'm 24 when they see me, and I fully intend to stick to that as long as possible.
It's surreal to see how many people on here have actually gotten umm.. "mature" and stuff, what with your talk about suvs and baby seats.....

***dorkidori_s13*** · 06-26-2013, 08:37 AM

Hi all, my name is Lenn aka the guy who owns/designs DorkiDori. Ive owned a 240 since I was 19, Im now 31 and Im on my 5th one that is my daily driver/restoration project. Been on Zilvia since 2003 (I haven't used my old user name in 6-7 years). Ive been making/selling shirts since 2007 and for some odd reason I still have hope that one day the 240sx scene might go back to the way it was in the good ol days when it was trendy to build clean cars, wanting to be hellaflush wasn't the reason you bought a 240, V8s were blasphemy in an s-chassis and tuning your motor was the proper way to do things...

*snickers*

*bursts into maniacal fits of laughter at the idea of the 240 scene ever returning to the way we remember it being*

Lol. Yeah, me and my Murano with 2 baby seats in it...about to trade it in for a new Pathfinder.

We are getting old. I'll be 34 in Aug. Ouch.

Jay Gadsby · 06-26-2013, 06:10 PM

I am only 32, but 12 years in the Army has broken me down pretty well. Wetsanding my car right now with a separated shoulder is probably a bad idea

But if I dont do it, who will? My wife? HAHAHAHAHA....

pitchlock · 06-26-2013, 07:56 PM

Both my wife and i are 33. We have 2 s13's and i just sold my wrx for an old rundown early 260z

stinky_180 · 06-26-2013, 10:28 PM

I'm 29 this year, does that count? lol

42 but I look 32 and sometimes act as if going on 23. My 19 yr old son informed me recently that I am going to be a grandpa in January.

Still building & playing with my beloved rice-mobile.

I assume I qualify for the Old fart club; even though I would never admit it aloud

AsleepAltima · 07-08-2013, 02:03 PM

my old timer car

Mrpopo · 07-08-2013, 02:13 PM

I'm 33 with 2 kids, but I don't consider myself old. I got my first 240 in 1996 and since then I've owned 19 240s and 6 z32s. I still work on my cars all the time. Makes me feel young. In my first car 1989 se hatch I had a car phone. Remember the ones with cords and big battery packs? Yeah that one. The scene has changed so many times I don't even care anymore. I just keep building 240s that I think are fun and look good to me. I can't post pics on here but I currently have a 89 hatch with s14 SR being built for amateur drifting and a 90 z32 na slammed that I daily.

I guess next year will be 10 years that I've had my S13. Doesn't seem like that long ago, but I guess it's been with me through a lot. Recently it suffered a fire at the track (grass fire... blew an oil pump o-ring and then it caught on fire shortly after we spun off - freaked my student out). That junkyard SR went through A LOT, and still ran great except for the original 20+ year old o-ring (it was an early redtop).

I'll be bringing it back better than ever in the near future. My goal is just to keep making incremental improvements to it, keeping it reliable, making it faster. It was already about the fastest thing out on track most weekends, and this includes crazy modded GTRs, 911 GT3s, old Busch series stock cars etc. - so I think with another 100-150 rwhp and more downforce, while dropping about 75 lbs it'll be that much nuttier.
