... when you have 4 keys for 2 rx-7's.

Or when they say, "I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, with YOU driving it!"

You were to busy with your dumb mother and father in law. I've know you how long numan....., that’s right 7 years! You JUST married "Sweets" and now she's making you choose her parents over me that’s low really low. Next she might make you take down the love swing

for anyone that is wondering numan is the initial impetus and therefore 1 of the only reasons I own a rotary powered car today.

when your all soo obsessed with your cars that you write a 20 page thread about all the problems it has, and how you still love it, lol. i loved my car too.
20 pages of mostly problems with our 20 year old cars, how ironic ... not really but still 20 pages of problems, maybe rotary is addictive,

thats it rotary is addictive. thats all i have to say

When you can turn to people at meets and say

"Yes I removed the rat's nest... and underneath it, sitting on the intake manifold I found a REAL rat's nest!"

(true story... when I started restoring the rex it had been sitting in one spot for a little more than 4 years. I found a bunch of pink house insulation under my rat's nest and wondered what it was and why it was there... until I found the dead baby rats embedded in it!)
