Aaron’s 180sx

One of our new Tennessee contributors Vance Milton got with Aaron and his 180sx last week.

Welcome to Aaron’s 180sx.  A car with a lot of history and a lot more character. I have always loved this car and ever since I got into photography I always wanted to do a shoot on this car. The car definitely gets a lot of attention, good or bad. Riding around to find places to shoot its funny to see the expression on peoples faces as they stare at the car. I can only imagine what is going through their minds.

This car has been through a lot of changes, from rocking old school Starion wheels with 50mm overfenders to its current stage now. The car is a track car and none of it makes sense but I love the way it all comes together. What it comes down to is, whether you love or hate it, you know you can’t stop looking at it. I look forward to seeing this car tearing up events here in the near future!

 

Q.What is the cars history…

 

 

 

 

A. Not sure on alot of it. I got it from a kid in alabama, and if I remember right he got it from tiger racing/virjin jorge, Can’t remember which. I know the car has ALOT of history in Atlanta with some of the earlier drift411 and seda events. The car has definately been driven HARD. hahaha

 

Q. What first got you into the car scene and drifting?

 

 

 

 

A. I have always been into cars all my life, all through high school I was a “pro bmxer” and traveled a lot. I never really had time to do anything or have a car because I was always on my bike. My senior year of high school I blew out my knee. When I graduated I pretty much quit riding and started working on cars. When I was younger I played gran turismo 2 waaaay too much and im sure that had a pretty big influence.

 

 

Q. What are your future plans with the car?

 

A. 400hp, nitrous, weld in cage, and knuckle kit lolz.

 

Q. What is your favorite car movie and why

 

A. Is that even a real question?!??!?? fast and furious 1 without a doubt. Not a day goes by that i dont quote that movie.

 

Q. Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

 

A. I honestly have no clue. probably still working, driving, and tearing shit up! haha.
