📰 Dream Car Classified: Strawberry Slide — This 1990 Nissan 180SX Type II Is JDM Eye Candy With Boost to Match

Presented by RevHard Motors
By Josh Juhasz

This right-hand-drive 1990 Nissan 180SX Type II is a classic example of JDM done right—factory turbocharged, manual, and dipped in that unmistakable cherry red. Powered by the CA18DET, this rear-wheel-drive coupe was built to dance sideways, and with only 91,926 km (approx. 57,122 miles) on the clock, it’s still got plenty of fight left in it.

Lowered with precision and rolling on wide deep-dish wheels, it nails the street stance aesthetic without going overboard. The fastback silhouette, aggressive aero, and clean OEM lines make it an instant head-turner—whether you're parked at a meet or chasing apexes on a touge run.

Priced at $27,391 USD (before shipping and fees), this 180SX is available now in Japan and can be shipped worldwide to your doorstep. For the purists, the collectors, or the wannabe drifters who never got over Initial D, this one’s calling your name.

🧠 Buster’s Based Metatations: Every Race Has a Checkered Flag

This week’s segment hits a little different.

My daughter just turned 18. She’s chasing her dream of becoming a tattoo artist—and for her first piece, she went bold:
Memento Mori.
“Remember you will die.”

It shook something loose in me.
Not because it’s morbid—but because it’s true.
Every race ends. The flag always waves. You just don’t know when.

There’s a reason racers don’t waste laps.
You don’t coast and cruise when there’s only a few left in the session. You drive like it matters. You take the pass. You chase the apex. Because when the flag drops, your story’s told—and you either wrote it wide open or you didn’t.

Same goes for life.

Most people live like they’ve got infinite laps. Like the tires won’t wear, the brakes won’t fade, or the tank won’t run dry. But that’s not how the real ones think.

The real ones feel the ticking clock.
And they floor it anyway—with heart, with purpose, with presence.

The Lesson

You never know how many laps you’ve got left.
You don’t control who waves the checkered flag.
You only control how you drive it.

So rip it with love. With clarity. With intention.
Tell the people who matter. Finish the build. Take the trip. Share the knowledge.
And whatever you do—don’t waste the lap thinking there’s always time.

Because one day… the flag waves.

And you’ll want to know you left it all on the track.
