My Nissan 240SX adventure!
My Nissan 240SX adventure! Ok so first off, I drive a 2001 Honda Civic LX Sedan, which of course is front wheel drive. My friend Mike, along with FAT_MAN came by at... well I dunno early for me since I was still asleep, and said he had a car out in the driveway, so I stagger out to look, and it's a white 1992 Nissan 240SX. So he takes me for a spin, and then lets me drive. OH MY GOD! This having been the first time EVER for me driving a rear wheel drive car, I had a blast! 
It hugged the corners like it was on rails compared to the Civic! It was the funnest thing I've ever driven, second only to be being a passenger in a C5 Corvette going close to 200 km/h 
Anyway, so I take a left handed 90 degree turn, and just planted the throttle, the rear end stepped out, and I had to counter steer of course. WHAT A BLAST! It was so fun whipping the rear end out, I love it, now my Civic seems so slow 
For a 1992, it drove great, no rattles, nothing. The paint is in great shape too!
He's looking into trading in his 1997 Civic Si/EX. He bought that for like $10,000 CDN, and they're only gonna give him like $6,000 CDN for it, I think he's getting ripped off, considering he only bought it not even 6 months agolease:
Anyway, here's a pic of it.

Haha, that's funny. I love that car, I wanted one as my first car, but my dad was all like, "No." So instead I got a Honda but then he was all like, "automatic, 4 door" and i was all like, "Oh."

Haha, FAT_MAN didn't believe me when I said I would whip it out coming back around the corner, he was like "No, no you won't" and when I did, and came back to park it, he was like "That was sweet"

Yeah, possibly, although I don't know because when I take those turns in my Civic it sounds the same, the road there is kinda bumpy, and I don't know if he let off the gas or not 
Maybe FAT_MAN does since he was the passenger.
