ok, back to the jokes, those are fun

At least my RX7 gets the only spot in the garage, so I guess I can't complain!

When you have a open ended 12mm wrench cut in half in your tool box so you can remove your 12a carb.
When you know what size wrenches you need without checking to remove any part of your car.
When your local Mazda dealership parts manager recognizes your voice on the telephone.
When you're willing to drive 100 miles to a salvage yard because they just got another 1st gen and it might have the interior pieces you need!
When the car's previous owner shows up randomly at your house to visit his old RX7. True story! I changed the ignition and door locks in case he has a spare key!

-When you have a perfect & complete tool set that stays in the car.
-When you have a spare J109 ignitor in your tool box.
-When you take a pistonhead for a impressive ride, and top it off by telling him it's a 70 cid engine.

... you get excited about seeing a 1st gen somewhere on the road, even though your 7 has never been driven/started ever since you've owned it.
... everytime you drive by a 1st gen in the morning, you instantly perk up.
... you finally realize you no longer have to check the size of every single bolt before turning it.
[edit] ... you're late for school because you were admiring the way your 7 looked with morning dew on it. (Guilty
)

When you have to insist that your idle bouncing up and down is NOT a sign of your car's imminent death.
When you literally cannot bring all your laundry home from school for break because your car is packed to the gills after just 2 suitcases.
When you and your brother can do a complete engine swap over the course of four evenings with no special tools needed.

Damn. I wish I had that kind of time/talent. I started taking my engine out well over 2 months ago. Still haven't even gotten the tranny unbolted from the engine - and it [the tranny] is staying in the car 
Anyways, back to the original topic:
... your friends get annoyed everytime you talk about an awesome deal on a part/car that you might buy.
[edit] Left one word out.

when you spend your last 1000$ for an rx7 knowing you have no job and if you get one tomorrow it'll be 2 weeks before you get paid...
when you borrow money from your brother to buy parts for your 'future rx7'... thats in the next state
damn, these aren't as funny as ya'lls
lol maybe b/c it's true

my turn:
when you have more pictures of the car than you do your girlfriend
you get behind the wheel of a ford taurus and think "wow this has tight steering"

-when its sanded and partially primed and think to yourself "Damn, it still looks good"
-when your boss says his lawnmower has a bigger engine than your stock 7, and then challenges you to a race.
