[DatDoug]

This was an old thread started about a year ago but its funny enuff to start again.

 

YOU MITE BE A RATSUN/DATSUN OWNER IF.....

 

You get bored with driving one but have to rob parts in order to drive the other.

 

You have more than 3 sets of rims for 1 rig and change them quite often.

 

You almost go into the ditch cuz you think you saw what looked like a Datsun in the bushes:D

 

People ask you "How many of those things you got?"

[Bleach]

you have a ratsun sticker on your car

[datto510]

you get flocked but old guys at gas stations telling you that they "used to have on of them!":lol:

[ariascarlos1990]

you have a ratsun.net Screen Name....

[moparvwfreak]

you wreck one and go buy another for parts but end up driving it, because you like em so much.

[LAYEDOUTB2K]

the autoparts stores dont even list your vehicle in their system, so you start listing off other vehicles for them to look up to get the parts you need.

 

your friends(or wife:D) call you to let you know where theyve just seen a datsun at.

 

you have a garage full of parts from a previous model youve owned and dont want to get rid of them just in case you get another.

[datzenmike]

You install a 620 dash light dimmer switch given to you by Nigel Tufnel that actually goes up to 11.

 

 

You pass a 620 on the highway, your wife asks what year was that, and you say without looking back, " a '79".

"why not just make 10 brighter, and make 10 the brightest?"

"but....but this one goes up to 11"

[sssr20det510]

you see a datsun sitting in a driveway and stop to see if its for sale

[jovial_cynic]

Your engine is such a franken motor that when they ask "what year & model is your car," you have to stop and really think about which answer you're supposed to give.

 

"let's see... Z22 block came from an 82 200sx, L18 head came out of some truck, um..."

[sssr20det510]

If your email address, username or screen name starts with pl510.., pl521.. :D

 

or anything datsun related

[pl521sss]

Cause you always check under neat an older Subaru in the yard for an LSD R160

You might be a datsun owner if................ your on a first name basis with all the staff at the local junkyards

[xlr8r]

You might be a Datsun owner if you've been told the "Dat Soon" joke by at least 10 different people.

[hang_510]

... by Nigel Tufnel that actually goes up to 11.

FAIL!

:fu: mine goes to 11!

[hang_510]

... when they ask "what year & model is your car," you have to ...

 

ramble off at least 4 cars... just for a tune up :lol:

 

OR when ordering a part and they say that its obsolete, you list 5 others that its will fit, and you find it!

[bonvo]

if you get one for free it get wrecked and you spend an ungodly amount of time and money building another cause you liked the first one so much

[datzenmike]

You may be a ratsun owner if... you go to the Nissan dealer for a gasket so you can put a 510 L16 head on your 521 L20B to get it running while the head gets milled. They swear up and down that it can't be done, won't work. Oil hole won't line up, compression too high.... You go home and do it and bring it back and show them. The parts manager calls three mechanics out to look at it. All crowd around the hood shaking their heads. (true story)

[Jayden71]

If you have a floor jack handle for a shifter...And have a stock one to replace it but think this is better:lol:

[Gary]

... if you would pick any car (realistically) to keep alive forever, itd be a datsun

[510_Dillon]

You might be a ratsun/datsun owner if: you go to a coffee stand just to get a cup of water and hope that the girl behind the counter says you have a "cute" car ;)

[athoose]

If you

[Dat620guy]

If you had a new car and sold it cause you would rather drive your Datsun:D.

 

I did and love it.:D
