You know you're a first gen owner when you start your FB up and don't see plumes of smoke, you pop the hood, get out and check to make sure no one swapped your motor

That one with the hood happens to me when I take it to the shop.

-when you pop the hood at school, and the car buff walks buy and asks whare's the engine?
-when you see red blue lights flashing from behind you speed up because you have so manny speeding tickets.

hey if u have a problem with having to hold you hatch up, just bend the strut :P it will stay up hehe. mine was bent when i got it, harder to pull up/down but when its up it stays up.

oh and...

- when you notice people behind you tend to back off after a while probably due to asphyxiation

- when you havent driven for days and you start daydreaming about the noise and feel of driving the rotor

You know you are an RX-7 driver when you have to quit smoking because your alternator won't run the headlights AND the cigarette lighter at once.

True to the first one. I actually just hold the drink with my left hand and do all of the driving with my right. It is funny when you are turning because you end up revving the engine pretty high because you can't take your hand off the wheel to shift when the wheel is still turned, you have to wait til you can straighten out the car! No power steering either.

when your excuse for redlining the engine is, "it cleans the carbon of the face of the rotor"

when you overfill the oil, you just let it sit for a couple days to leak out.

... when you drive 25 miles in the rain with the windows down, because the window motors are shot
... when you buy doors with manual windows and call it an upgrade
... when you think about selling your 2nd gen shell to get another 1st gen shell in worse condition, just for a project
... when you hang out with all your friends, and only talk with the rotary owners in the group, because everyone else "just doesnt understand"
... when you get nervous because your car isnt burning oil
... when your yard looks like a rx7 graveyard
... when you quit wearing deoserant and cologne, because you will smell like gas whenever you get outta the car

When you go out on a date & your cologne has been overpowered from the exhaust fumes in your car & now you smell like eau de Rotary the oil & gas fragrance.

or How about the cop that pulls you over well just me really & tell you ford doesnt make that car anymore what an idiot Mazda RX7 made by Ford wonder where he got that from guess Mustangs are made by Mazda
