Had fallen absolutely in love with 240sx's, specifically S13's. They consumed my 15 year old mind and all I needed in life was a 240sx. May of my freshman year of high school, one pops up for sale a block away from me. Original California car... 5 speed, had been 5 lug swapped, coilovers, nice (not obnoxious) aftermarket exhaust on, drove great. Gold car, tan interior. I was ready to go. Mom said not until school year was over (2 weeks away). In that time period a guy drove down from Wisconsin to buy it (in Georgia!). Price was right, car was right, and I don't think I'll ever get over that one.
I'll join in on the 240SX train. I had a 1991 Coupe SE, HUD, 5 Speed, 5 Lug Swapped. It got totaled when a tractor turned in front of me on a rural back road. I could have bought it back from the insurance company for cheap and done a Silvia conversion. But I had just gotten married and was moving out of state a week later and had no room for a totaled 240SX.
I let the insurance company take it. I kick myself all the time for that one.
