There is a guy here who has 7 so I'd say you are in the clear. lol

If you have a passion for something, you should never let anybody else tell you to change it. Especially if its not negatively affecting you financially or anything.

I say 7 rx7s makes sense lol.

The more the better, if you want one less you can give me a early Christmas present from the rx7 Santa.

not too strange, ive got 3 rx7 and an rx8, most ive had at one time was 5.

my dad has more than I do

ive discovered the key to rx7 reliability is to have more than one!

I have no intention of buying more for a while but I cant stop browsing cl either, those good deals just cant seem to pass them up!

I dont think its that bad unless your in a situation like me. My wife loves V8s!! But then again I also own a 83 Limited Edition, 87 Turbo II and a 1977 REPU I had 2 FC parts cars but they are gone now. My mom puts up with a lot though my dad has 3 Cosmos 3 REPUs 1 RX2 1 RX3 and a GSLSE oh and a 79 RX also...

well, i find nothing wrong with your hoarding condition. however, something tells me you already know you're safely cradled mostly among like-minded individuals. slick, my brother. quite slick ....

anyway, while i would someday love to add a '79, an '83 and maybe an '85 GSL (Tender Blue) to my collection, i find myself insanely jealous of you for one thing. believe it or not, it's not your 4 cars, it's the seeming organization of your parts. i have a fairly decent cache of parts strewn all over the place between here, my in-laws (about 300 miles away) and my brother's garage (about 1200 miles away). i would love to organize and inventory everything i have.

A friend of mine has about 15 rx7's on his land out here. 12 parts cars.... a shed full of rx7 parts that he stripped down from each lol. He wishes to remain hidden lol.

Then theres Jose here, This man here has more then I can count in the warehouse part of his shop. He even has the super seven my ex's grandfather built lol. (old professional racer)Jose ran on (pinks all out) with his 3 rotor. I think it was his 3 rotor.... or one of many that he has smh lol,.

Haha I'm one!!

3 FB's (83 GS, 83 GSL, 84 GSL)

10 FCs (86 base, 87 sport, 87 sport, 87 sport, 87 base, 87 t2 shell, 88 base, 89 vert, 89 GTUs, 91 A pkg)

The 83 GS, 1 of the sports, 88 & 89 vert are all registered & insured. The rest are complete cars, set for future restoration, except the T2 shell which will be put back together as an NA p-port ( i guess a restore, but to me, restoring means keeping it all stock lol)
