200sx has everything that you wish the 210 came with...

Unfamilia , not to worried about the boy over doing it on the road as he has now been Karting for 4 years , so like most racers he's not interested in driving fast on the road. Also there is a picture of him in the photo section broadsliding through a corner and if you'll look at it car control doesn't seem to be an issue for him.

Now Dodgeman your are absolutely brillant , appealing to my inate love of a buck , I have no problems with a wagon and happen to like them a lot (when Volvo 140 shopping I was actually looking for a wagon) As I'm out staking Rally roads often , a station wagon comes in handy. When of the reasons I got the protege is it has fold down seats and I can put motorcycle frames in the boot. And how you knew I wanted to take that old Datsun and put an A15 in it is amazing.

Lots of great ideas keep em coming but I'd say 200SX or 210................whichever I get a deal on this summer.

Under the circumstances, I would suggest that you keep an eye open for a 210, & a Wagon at that. Against the sexier models, these would, at first glance, seem to be as booring as batshit, but they are cheap to buy & run, & as a do it yourselfer, you will save heaps more with your store of spares, but here's the best bit.

Next,........
Buy the 1958 model with the leftover change & use the wagon to transport all the pieces that you need to make a Hot Rod from this car.
Hell, you can even use some of your A series spares to build it up, although I suggest an A14/15 with five speed would be a very good choice.

This should appeal to the tight ass in you.

240sx or 200sx, you would be happy with these as i he does have an accident, modern engeniering may save him from youthful inexperience

These are all built by at New United Motor Manufacturing Inc in California.
The 2008 Vibe's and Corolla's are also under way. I think the '08 Vibe GT looks cool but obviously I cant show you any pics. I've only seen the front facia and rear bumper anyways.
They're build by skilled Team Members using the Toyota Production System. One of the "rules" of TPS is Quality-In-Station which is...

what the hell am I writing?
This is where I work, buy one please.

Ben I love B210's but the Mrs found my old one kinda boomy AND I need something with AC.

As for how much driving I do well we've had the Mazda a little under two years and I've put 30K on it.

Tom

Thats a totaly different body style than we got here !!!

Don't know how much driving you do (as in long drives) - but since I got cruise control and comfy seats in a 360hp sedan I've got trouble driving older cars as daily's.

So vote 1 200SX and fit aftermarket cruise control. I assume you mean an S15 Silvia when you say 200SX?

Hey Tom I have a 78 B210 for sale fastback seats 4, 5-spd dogleg. $750.00 or best offer.

210. always room for a modern engine drop in. (i.e. ka, sr or such). I saw one at the shasta meet last year, ka equipped. It was sweet. If I did'nt have 2 12lvers I would get one for a dd.
