when your at a car show with 500+ cars, and people go "WTF??" when you pop your hood.
when you time how long you physically stand behind your car while its running.
When hitting the redline buzzer actually makes you laugh, so you do it again without fear.
When you physically have to look up to see the top of a Civic Hatchback.

when your biceps muscles are getting buff from jacking up the car and holding the tranny on your chest.
when the 'pull a part manager' tells the clerks to "only search your tool kit when there's RX 7's on the lot."
when you get depressed because a 7 passed you and didn"t wave.
when you get out of your 7 and realize all the people staring at your ride, weren't staring because, its the hippest, most together sports car you imagined it to be. well, maybe it is just wait till i get some $$$.

When the cop gets to the car, buddy saying throught the Glass " I have to open the door the Electric window does not work"

lol these are great.....
you know your a 1st gen owner when....
when swapping motors and the body shifts on the jacks you physically lift it back to where it needs to be while you buddy scams from under it
whenever you jump into a fc you miss the "cockpit" feeling of your first gen
although it would be cheaper to just get a new car or take a easier route, you instead insist on completing the fuel injection so when the motor goes it gets ya set up to put that s5 motor in

When you say to some one "yea it has a rotary" and show them your keychain of it. Then they ask "how many pistons, 4?" " And you say "it pretty much runs by a triangle" they will look at you for hours. "wtf triangle????" LOL

whenever someone sees you start it and insists that "It needs a new head gasket because its blowing blue smoke" and you laugh at them.
when you get tired of explaining why you pop the hood after a hard drive.
when you add just as much coolant as fuel.

You Know You are Psycho on 7s When...
1. You have one custom 81. Then buy another 81 GSL for a "parts" car & end up restoring it.
2. You have no space in your in guest room for a bed because of all the spare RX7 parts.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
The clerk tears out of the store to keep you from putting 87/85 into that sweet looking racecar.
People ask what kind of fuel injector cleaner you're putting in the tank... "Lucas 2-cycle".
You proudly show your friends that you can turn the wheel half a turn before the front tires move.
You get pulled over by a cop and he says, "Are you interested in selling it?" "Are you giving me a ticket, or a warning?"

=======================
You're a first gen owner when your wife tells you that if you sell it,
you can get ANY 3rd Gen or RX-8 you want, no questions asked.
You're a first gen owner when you've owned several of them.
You're a first gen owner when you'd rather work on your car,
than work on your tan.
You're a first gen owner when you don't even smell the gas anymore,
and people have to remind you -"oh, you were driving your seven again?",
you smell.

Favorites:
When your RX-7 actually runs.
You don't hesitate to drive it anywhere, anytime.
You can fill up your RX-7 with "regular" grade fuel.
*What about either having/not having Malloy Mazda on speed dial?

Rollin' coal and 53mpg!
...when AutoZone has asked you about setting up an account.
...when your friends all ask you if you can help with THEIR cars, because being a first gen owner made you a master mechanic
... when you realize that the only girl that's perfect is a first gen owner, too...
