its supposed to do that
im sure somebody already said this, but if not
its cheaper to buy a parts car, than the replacement part new.
your co-workers take turns staying to see if your car starts after work

...when you dump your girlfriend just to try cut down on the weight.
...you read accident reports hoping to find a part
...you worry what might happen when the previous owner gets out of jail

Oh, and another thing. Not all civic owners are idiots. In fact, a lot of them are VERY knowledgeable car guys. Hondas are popular because they're *great* cars, plainly put. Ever ridden in a hybrid hatch? Take advantage of the opportunity if possible, they're fun cars.

yes I have, and no I don't believe all civic owners are idiots--though the guy that had the "hybrid hatch" put MOTOR OIL in his clutch master cyl. because "the book said to put 10-30 in the transmission". I said "ya maybe in the trans, but DOT3 goes in the hydrolic system." I guess it's a bad stereo type, and I do apologize if I hurt anyone by it. And yes I would own a honda in a heart beat if they made an affordable RWD car in the class of the civic or integra.
You're a first gen owner when you know your car will never get you "any" and you don't give a shat.
When you say you're fustrated and people think "sexual fustration" and it's because you don't have anywhere to "really" drive your 7, I can't express how much I hate living in this area as far as the suck *** roads and over crowding on said suck *** roads.

...You get deployed to Iraq, and when you get ahold of some internet time, the first thing you do is go buy more parts to be shipped home, for when you return.
...When you haven't called your family for a month from Iraq, but they know your allright, since car parts are ariving daily.
...Your family goes to the rx7 forums first to see if your doing ok, then sends an email.
...You have some faith in the equipment you use on the battlefield, only because the engineers made a tank with a turbine engine in it...and hey, thats close to a rotary.
...You try to tell the Local people about how a rotary engine works, even though they don't speak much english and your odd hand symbols and funny drawings in the sand don't seem to be helping.
...After saving up for a down payment on a house you decide that you want to build a pole barn instead and just put a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen in the corner, so that every morning you can wake up to your garage as your living room, and your rx7 as your stereo/entertainment system.
...you then decide that your going to have to get a tv for football parties, but decides on a 5000 dollar projection unit, based on the usefulness of displaying wireing diagrams/how-to tutorials on the wall.
...you realize that you will most likely be single for life and never get laid if you built a house like this... but still consider it a possibility.
...Your teammates at war, are completely knowledgable on all rotary powered vehicles, on a completely invountary basis, and completely through an osmosis effect of being around you for a long period of time.
...you know of atleast two movies where there was a rx7 in the background.
...The worst part of being deployed, isn't the stress, but having to drive nothing but a heavy geared down diesel truck for a year...and its not even a rotary.
...finding out that Atkins have came out with a new supercharging kit, was more of a shock than the peterson trial/michael jackson trial/ or the Iraq war coverage(local news as we like to call it)

after spending days chasing down rust spots, and chipping out rotten vinyl, you feel sad that you're almost done
that even though you just bought one, you keep an eye on the for sale ads for another one.
when you see another 1st gen in a parking lot and wonder about setting up a playdate.

You know how to break into YOUR car, your buddy's first gen, his buddy's first gen, and his buddy's buddy's first gen... ALL WITH THE SAME KEY.

You know your a 1st gen owner when:
while working on, you have to pee but you keep working on it for 2 hours to finish putting your new part on.
If you have the picture below as your cell phone background. (ha ha, me, I made it specifically for my phone.)

...When you know the location of every other 1st gen 7 within a 5 mile radius from your house
...When you have a 7 in the street, 1 in the driveway next to an MX-6, yet you drive around in a Ford Explorer. (Neighbor, True story)
...When you start your RX-7 at 3 AM and redline it infront of your friend's house because he made fun of your car.
...When your friends are dumbfounded when you say your car is powered by a spinning triangle.
...When you use your 7 to wake your children up for school.

When you consider changing your street name to RX-7 Street cuz all the 7 owners in my town of 18,000 people all live on the same street within 6 blocks of each other.
2-FB 2-FC and 3 out of the 4 are white. How wierd is that....

...when you have nightmares of it being stolen out of your driveway then reassure yourself that the damn thing won't start for anyone...
funny story i just got my 85 RX7 (REXY), she worked for a week and quit on me... so it's in the driveway and i had a dream that 4 guys dressed like Zorro stole it only two were in the car and the other two were running behind it....hahahha suckers hope they were wearing gas masks! So if anyone sees two guys dressed like zorro, passed out on the side of the road.....
