I did the same thing, only I never even got to drive my FC. It was just a total wiring disaster.

I had a co-worker who had a 280 Z, and he would always park with me. One day another co-worker commented on how we both drive Z's! Long story short....I don't work there anymore

When you winter beater costs more than your summer 7, just because you refused to drive your 7 in snow.

When you buy rotary powered vehicles to tide you over until you finally finish your FB. I've bought an FC and now an rx8, and all I can think is, "Only so much longer until I finally have my FB done."

When you go and work on your 7 in a shed that is 45 degrees celsius for hours, probably lose 4Lb's from sweating so much but still do it anyway

When your gf comes down to the covered parking at your apartment and says angrily, "you've down here for 10 hours", and it only feels like 2.

You drive 3 hours to trade your perfectly good FC for an SA with 68k miles on it and a hatch full of extra goodies, only to take 5 1/2 hours to get home because you enjoyed it so much

Everynight you curse yourself to sleep for buying that damn moneypit and wasting all you life and blood into that little terror.

And every morning you wake up saying, "I know just what I want to do to that lovekt little rotary!"

+1 on the losing your tools part.. though it happened with a gas cap and a 10mm wrench... ^.^;;;

When your husband claims she's possessed because the first time he rode in her we turned a corner and the back tire passed us!! LOL
(it flew off because the lugs came loose in the cap and the shop down the road told me it was just the grease cap rattling around in the rim....it had covers and I just bought the car, no key for the rims)

when you're afraid to turn your car off while you run into 7-eleven for quarters for the air pump because you're not sure if it will start again.
