does owning a sports car bring problems ?

Yah me too.. once i was just waiting at a set of lights and this bogan it crossing the road with no shirt on.. looks at me and says FULL SIK BROTHER FULL SIK!! while making the wankin motion with his hand!!! Hahha Haters!!!

Depends what the sports car is. A 2 door coupe may draw attention but mine didnt get me pulled over.

Yes they can be expensive for a few reasons in my experience:

Parts can be pricey especially on an imported vehicle

Insurance due to previous statistics i.e lots of thefts, claims etc

If you buy a sports car, most people at some point will have driven it something like that. I dont mean racing but maybe some harder gear changes, heavier braking etc. That can be costly if things start going wrong.

Skylines arent sports cars

A sports car is a car with a shitty engine and a bodykit

A skyline is a performance car

I've had my 'line for 8 months or so and not had a single problem... Except for the coil packs giving me shit on a really hot day. I get people complementing me on my car, some people seem to get excited when they see a skyline, and generally good vibes from other people.

Stay away from trouble and it will stay away from you

In the year of having mine have only been pulled over once.

Reactions from people differ depending on where you live/drive. Go to commodoreville and usually expect to get bagged or have someone try to drag you in thier pride and joy pos vc sedan.

If you want the car, get it simple as that.

Oh have had one dodgy sort of experience. Was at my gf's last night and was saying goodbyes out the front of the house. There was a car parked down the street that we had not seen and it flashed its lights. I drove past and looked in and there was 2 guys sitting in there. They stared at me until i drove past and then followed me for a little while till i lost them. Dont know what they were intending on doing, maybe nothing? Car was back at the house a little later on so gf called the cops ha ha

Cops are probably the best.

Everytime I see a cop car they all crane their necks for a sticky beak.

I reckon they are totalling up the number of defects they can write out!

It's like this...

Does having a pretty wife pose problems?

It's the yin and the yang. But life is short... you can't take you money with you.

So you can choose to drive a Corolla or Camry or something that makes your heart skip a beat in the morning.

lol thnx for the assurance ppl. yeh, im less scared now. but i do worry about one thing. i wouldnt want a group of low lifes sitting on my skyline waiting for me to approach my car. hrmm has this happened to any1 before ?

[Col-GTSX]

If you have all legal mods and correct ride height you have nothing to worry about from the cops... Most are quite nice... Have not been pulled over once in 3 years (touch wood).... They will only pull you over if they think you are a hazard... (or you get a bored/angry one).

Buy im more worried about vandels... Keying and steeling GT badges and stuff due to jealousy or bordom from kids.... But most of all i fear HAIL STORMS.....

[skylinedrifter]

hehe, ya lime yellow gts-t stands out abit lol. hrmmm but have u had ya car keyed before ?

does owning a sports car bring problems?

plain and simple might it be problems from police or engine or anything

Yes it does.

[r32impul]

As long as you enjoy it, it shouldn't be a problem. Much better than you buy a local excel, hondas...etc.

Yeah, for skyline, you may got heaps of ppl looking at you at the light or driving a round CBD area (but not too many gal), That is the only sad things, i guess.
