Owning nice fast car vs nice bike+shitbox

Don't knock the MX6 - it's nice to be able to steer with your accelerator pedal - leaves your hands free to SMS people and adjust the stereo.

200sx hairdressers car?

Don't get me wrong, Nissan have made some very cool cars over the time, but the 200sx is a shapeless, boring piece of shit that doesn't look out of place in a car park full of Paseos.

Boring? I take it you have never driven one then.... They are probably one of the best driver's cars around.

If you want to be a poser, get yourself a CRX with a big fark off bodykit

200sx hairdressers car? why do you say that ?

He's a motorcycle policeman - ever hear of the Village people??

now hes just upset u have rejected him ....



yea the 2 vehicles is a good option...
wen i got my ute (commy s pak ute) i started spending $$ on it..stereo, mags etc..then thought "fark it" ...its only gotta get me to work, carry shit i cant carry on the bike, and tow the bike & all my gear to track days...
it comes in handy tho, so id not sell it (unless my mrs has a decent car and i dont need it)...but currently my mrs uses it more than me...

You wouldn't have much credibility posing in a CRX...

If you wanna be a poser you need to own a Soarer.... they are the ultimate poser car...

Nup,, the ultimate poser is found in a Boxster

The Porsche for the person who can't afford the 911 that they really wanted. Although, I'd have a Boxster before a Soarer, or a CRX....

Exactly, there is no credibility in posing at all.

I have never ever heard the 200sx labelled as a hairdresser's car, or boring for that matter so just wondering what angle your working at.

just wondering what angle your working at.

I'm working on the "I reckon a piece of dog turd is more interesting to look at, god they're a dull, shapeless excuse for a "sports" car, I personally dislike them (alot) angle."

Well they aren't a poser's car they are a driver's car. How would an ugly, dull, shapeless car be considered a hairdresser's car? Isn't a hairdresser's car viewed as a pseudo sports car eg celica, capri etc? All bells and whistles but as fun to drive as shopping trolley?

They are probably one of the best driver's cars around.

If you mean that they are turbo and RWD, then yes. If you mean that in standard form they they handle well, provide good feedback and are generally exciting to drive... then I think you're talking about another car

The BMW M3, however...

Stock yeah they are a bit soft in the suspension, but still great fun.

I spent a bit of money on new shocks, springs, bushes, castor kit etc etc. And man that thing carved

The S14 wasnt much of a looker, but the S14A was better and the S15 is a pretty thing.

I'm with Shifty. A driver's car they are not. Sure they go quick (relatively) but that doesn't make it an exciting car to drive and it certainly doesn't mean they have any character.

I view a hairdresser's car as one that I often see parked outside of a hairdressing salon and the people that work there drive it to and from work. Come for a ride with me one day and I'll point some out to you.

This has all bought about another point. Judging by the way you are defending a car you don't own, I'd suggest you've already half made up your mind about wether or not you want a bike?

Dude, drive one and see. They are quick, they handle great with a nice predictable feel, have good brakes and are a nicely sorted car.

No one I know who has ever driven one has had a bad thing to say about them. I am defending the car as I think you have no idea and have your mind made about the way they drive on the basis of their looks. Oh and im not the guy who started this thread, I used to own a 200sx I own a bike now. My mind was made up a long time ago.

Oh and if someone parks a Ferrari F430 outside a hair salon that makes it a hairdresser's car? Whatsamatter? Don't they sell logic in Adelaide?

Oh and im not the guy who started this thread

Oh yeah, sorry. I got so wrapped up in trying to stir you up that I didn't realise.

Oh and if someone parks a Ferrari F430 outside a hair salon that makes it a hairdresser's car?

Umm, no. If they park it outside a hairdressing salon and the hairdresser drives it, then that makes it a hairdressers car.... err, duh.

No one I know who has ever driven one has had a bad thing to say about them.

And here-in lies the problem. I don't believe a car that is pleasant to drive around in or nice to drive is necessarily a great "driver's car"!

My Forester is nice to drive around in and quite nice to drive for what it is. It's as ugly as a hat full of arseholes, but it aint no driver's car....
