metalmonkey47 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 You know you own a Datsun when.. -your lug nuts have disappeared twice. -Toyota 4-runners try to race you at stop lights... and win! -Every S13 fanboy tells you to "SR" swap it. -you ask for parts at O'Riellys, tell them Datsun, and the response is "Ain't that some kind of Chebby?" 1 Quote Link to comment

uieluck Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 When your throttle cable snaps (75' 620). And the only store around, is a car stereo shop. You go in, buy 10ft of speaker cable and tie it to the throttle, hang it out the hood thread to the cab and hand throttle/drive it home. :o 1 Quote Link to comment
