... when 30 minutes ago you go to the only auto parts store that carries a clutch in an emergency transmission fix and the sales people bring out this sad excuse for a box with a drip stain on it along with them commenting about how many times they've had to move it along with the amount of dust on it.

when you have become immune to the smell and effects of gasoline.
When hardly any family member or a friend will ride with you unless it is any emergency.
Your the first person asked by your friends to help fix a problem in one of their cars.
You look at a dash of a new car and wonder what happened to all of the **** and buttons
you are driving another car and your right hand instictivly starts trying to play with the speaker joystick

You know your a first gen owner when...
you drive sideways, not because you're "drifting" but because your loose steering box let you turn a little to much and now you're trying to get back on center.
Having a 85 -se thats completely stock in mint condition is your dream car.
side-draft isn't refering to a wind pattern.
...you have spent enough $$ fixing and upgrading your FB, to have bought an FD, and everyone constantly reminds you of that fact...but you don't care.

When your eyes burn from standing in or around the outside of your car
When you have to turn your car off around the corner from your girlfriends house so it wont back fire in her yard.
When you push your car outside of the garage before you start it so the exhaust fumes dont go inside the house.
When you have to use your hands to guide your windows up the track because your too cheap to replace the guides and window motor.
When super glue holds your dome light cover in place.

When your trademark wave is a wink of your headlights by flippin um on an off real fast.
When your kids complain about riding in dads car because the back seat is too small and it smells bad.
When you can sit in your back seat and almost reach the gas pedal. LOL
When your car doesnt completely settle right after jacking it up and you have to sit on the fender to push it back down...

when you roll down your windows for downforce.
when your car sways one direction because you cracked the window going 60.
you wont park the 7 in the grass because you think its rude to the 7, not to your moms lawn.
and you know you own a first gen that came from a 1st gen owner when:
the rats nest is already gone.

...while at the autoshow, you see a NEW RX-8 (ohhhh!) on a rotating platform, with the doors open and then you suddenly scream "GOOD LORD! its got FOUR SEATS! this is BULLSHIT!" and walk away cussing. (with children about!)
and to seperate the boys from men:
...you know one of the two most comfortable positions to get it on in the passenger seat with all the doors and windows closed (sunroof dont count!)

When your neigbors despise you coming home late because your car sounds like a weedwacker on steroids or a cesna.
When you drive into the city and get told to leave.
Or my favorite you enjoy the looks ppl give when they see you pouring oil into your gas tank.

when your parents ask you to mow the lawn and you use your rx and its get the job done
when your eyes burn from driving your car to long
when your nick name becomes rex
when your teacher knows its your scribbler/test/folder, because it has rx7 all over it
when we see another rx7 and you freak out, slam on the brakes, and run to it with arms wide open

When the neighbors scream out thier front door to be quiet, when all you are doing is warming up the car at fast idle with a 1/2 bp and 3" exhaust.
This actually happened after the Lawrence meet Sat. night, along with 15 other 7 owners laughing thier asses off. Audio is in the Midwest section in the Lawrence bbq thread.

.. when you know a reverse mounted hood can still pop up with enough speed
.. when you know a fusible link can be twisted together about 10 times before replacing
.. when you tell a new person to lock the door then ask them why they didnt lock it after they shut it, and repeat
.. when you can hotwire your car with 1 paperclip, add 1 more for the radio to work
.. when you replace the idler arm every other air filter
.. you can sit on your inside tire well to work on the carb
.. with a new passenger, you stare at them after you shut off the car after a hard drive, just to watch them jump when it backfires
