Farewell to the 240!

Well as most of you know the 240 has been sold to someone who will hopefully get more track time with it. Sad to see it go but I'm sure the future will bring plenty more fun in some way or another.

bet that was hard

You shoulda stole that LP640.

Parting is such sweet sorrow... Not gonna lie I'm gonna miss just seeing that car Jason! Looks like it gets to ride to NY w/ some sick ass cars!!

Whats your plan next? Gonna build another project or keep it simple?

It was tough but also nice to get a bunch of cash that I can put in the bank, especially when I realized what I would get if I crashed it and had to get paid from the insurance company. In the end I am happy that I will get to see the car used out on the east coast, its already got 6-7 track days scheduled and will be housed at a nice shop where they can keep it nice. They also ordered 3 spare bumpers and a lot of spare parts so they can use it and see what it will really do. I wish I could have done that but just doesn't work out in Montana very well.

As of now I don't plan on building another car but my wife keeps telling me to start looking cause she knows I love working on cars. We'll see, as of now I'm gonna go on some family vacations and maybe one or two with my friends that were always there helping me work on it. To me it was more about the friendships than anything and so no matter where the car ends up I gained a lot from owning it and will always have those close friends! TS4L

Listen to your wife!! She sounds like a very wise women and obviously knows you very well!!! haha..You opened the door for this comment

True, I'm trying to stop being an addict ha ha. Thinking I should sell my tools and throw away my magazines so I can do something new, but once an addict always an addict I think they say. We'll see what happens. A crate LS1 dropped into an S14 still sounds like fun!

who's in with me for the next fats and the furious hiest! We can catch that semi on the freeway and Jason can have cash plus his car back and I can have a new Lambo to roll around in... whoever else is willing to help can have the ferrari... and if you only help a little I guess you could have the lotus.

The 240 will be missed... I guess we can just start a new hobby together like knitting or something!

I think you should start fabricating stuff. Who knows.

more bummer news? jeez im gonna need some beer and maybe an antidepresant to pull me out of this gloom and doom.

that would be dope, done with the illist style!

screw the crate ls1, us should see what you can do with a junkyard engine. Ive got a few cars running around with the ls styles for less that $1500 in all of them. 1 has well over 450 rwhp for under the $1500.

I didn't even know it was for sale. Hope the new owner appreciates all the time and hard work that has gone into it!

It sold in 4 days, makes me think I should have asked for more but I think I came out pretty good for a nearly 16 year old car.

I am most sad about the fact I will not be able to run heads up with you this year.

i woulda rode with the car and told them i needed some more time with it then just sat in the lambo the whole time.

I saw your ad on S2ki about a week or so ago, and then drove past (black S2000) as you guys were loading it up. I recognized the car from Lewistown. I would have stopped to say hello, but it was obvious what was happening and I would rather miss such a sad moment! It reminded me of when the truck pulled away with my old MR2.

WOW! i thought i just saw you on 24th about an hour ago! this 240 was almost exactly the same just without the wing!

There is not a car in the world that was exactly like that car.

I agree with Nels. Mark, were you drunk? Could it have been a Wal-Mart shopping cart?

Nope, he wasn't drunk. I saw the same 240 at BK today, it is an S13 with bronze wheels. So the car looks very similar to Jason's, but it's definitely missing A LOT of key things.

That is very strange. Wonder if this guy is new in town?

That's Corey another TS guy, he's back for leave, he brought his car over the day Mine was leaving. It has the same wheels I used to have and a very similar front end. The car will be here now unfortunately he will be deployed again in a few weeks.

Rwheelz you should have stopped by and looked at all the fun cars on there. It was bitter sweet to see it go, very excited to see how it does with some backing from a few shops and a lot more track time. I had some sweet offers on S2Ki. I'm doing my best to just relax and spend the money on a time share or invest it but there are so many nice cars for sale right now its tough.

Now your talking fill that lonely empty space in garage..Its missing having a toy parked there...Spend half the money or quarter buy another toy (you know you want to anyway) the rest invest minus some for a nice vacation!!!!

The vacations are already booked so that parts happening for sure, Hawaii, Vegas and NYC. I'm still leaning towards doing some more investing into something that isn't a money pit that declines in value faster than I can spend it.
