I have an automatic news aggregation setup on
the forum for my local car club... it grabs stuff related to the 240SX from a number of different websites.
it recently pulled a REALLY interesting article from Jalopnik
http://jalopnik.com/...ble-500-beatersif you've never heard of the 24 hours of LeMons it's like the 24 hours of LeMans but for junker cars... people mock them up like demo derby rigs and it's mostly to see which old junkers end up being the most reliable.
they run them about once a month and Jalopnik basically compiled all the data from the last 2 years of races to figure out which cars ended up being the most reliable.
I was really happy to see that the 240SX ended up 5th overall... and when you consider that they don't sell Alfa's in the US of the cars available to me it's the 3rd best overall, and the 2nd best out of the RWD options available...
#1 Volvo 240
#2 Alfa Romeo Milano
#3 Saturn S Series
#4 Alfa Romeo Alfetta
#5 Nissan 240SX
Anyway, people looking for a dirt DIRT cheap performance car that will survive the torture test... it's a really worth while article (even include a downloadable spreadsheet so you can play with the data yourself)
