When you drive down town and people duck b/c they think its a drive bye.

 

^^omg tahts funny!

 

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

 

When almost daily someone asks you about the scaron your arm and you get to tell then how hot rotaries run.

 

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.

 

You know your an rx7 owner when you fix up your parts car.

 

when you hold your hatch open with your head while you take your stuff out

when you become a master of driving stick with a drink between your legs because theres no cup holders.

 

the moderators really might as well sticky this seriously at least once a month it gets pulled up from the depths of the forum....

 

I actually just had to hold the hatch open with my head to put the top in there yesterday.

 

replace the shocks.... mine is stiff as hell....

 

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.

 

You know you're a first Gen owner when people constantly think you're an addition and multiplication wiz because of your wheels

 

Lmao

 

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.


~b.k.

 

... 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 have your own desigated parking spot at work... with an oil pan on the ground. Damn oil cooler!

 

... Your Watching A Movie And See One In The Backround, And Jump Up Like Something Bit You In The ***

...while Watching That Movie, You Pause And Rewind It To See If It Has Any Mods Im Guilty Of That One)

... When Your Friends Calls Your Car The Pick-a-part Car, Yet Your Always Helping Him Fix His P.o.s(acura Integra)

... You Can Actually Get The Fuse Block From The Junkyard, And Wire It Without Schematics

... You Carry 3 Quarts Of Oil In One Compartment, And A Tow Chain, 21mm, 17mm, 14mm, 12mm, And A 10 Mm In The Other One, Knowing That Your Going To Use Them Everyday That You Drive It

...only You Know How To Space Your Hood, And Everyone Asks "how You Did It", And U Just Smile At How Easy It Was.(took Me 2 Minutes, Mostly Cuz One Hand Was Holding The Throttle Cable Down, And The Other One Wrenching)

...when Someone Driving A Crx, Actually Knows U Have An Fb, And Drolls Over It Cuz He Likes Them That Much

 

... when your driver side door handle works and you think somethings up

 

When your completly tired after each drive... b/c you've been sucking in exhaust fumes / carbon monoxide for the past hour.

 

you know your a rotary owner when someone asks you how the engine works and you can make up whatever you wantand no one says otherwise

 

when your frined fight over who gets to ride in "the cool car"

 

when you can explain how your engine works with a 2 doritos and a pretzel stick.

 

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
