1995 Nissan 240sx - S14 Strong

Sorrowfully, this is where the story ends. But it was time to choose between growing up and getting harassed by the po-po all the time. Had Primedia paid me more than minimum wage, I would have kept the car forever just as I had always intended. But owning five cars would be ridiculous, even for me. I'm living off of dollar menus and bag lunches as it is. My US converted Silvia will always be a part of me with my In The News plaques plastered around my condo, but thanks to a lot of help from my friends, it went far and beyond anything I could have imagined when I first started building it.
