Did they change the meaning of "straight body" to bodywork all beat to hell on almost every panel?

Wow, I almost want to ask him why he thinks it has a straight body. Maybe he's blind and has no hands to feel it with?

maybe he meant "straight uni-body"? As in, "it hasn't been drifted into a wall and the frame tweaked"?

Based on my shopping results, that's in relatively good shape.

I'm sad to say that for a 240SX, that's actually pretty damn straight.

hmmm.....perfect hornet mini stock candidate. But the going rate here for a hacked-apart-by-a-teen beater 240 with a thrashed SOHC that has never seen an oil change and suspension bushings so worn that you need to be a monkey with 4 hands to keep it tracking in one lane is $700.00

Maybe he's indicating the car isn't gay?

the front bumper scares me. That just screams "I hit something and this is a replacement bumper" the way the paint is coming off of it

Yeah, I know, but "straight body" is still kind of a stretch.

And the way the front fender right behind it is bent to hell... I mean, perfectly straight!

Is there a panel on that thing that ISN'T beat to E36 M3? Straight body? I'm with Appleseed. It has to be a reference to "lifestyle choice."

looks like a good solid car to me.. it's got a few dents, but there are a number of ways things like that happen that don't involve the car getting driven hard- i once saw a guy's head cave in a fender because he said the wrong thing to the wrong drunk guy at a party..
