When you are sitting in your Accounting class and the professor keeps writing/mentioning FC (Fixed Costs) and all you can think about is an RX-7.

When you always start the car before you buckle your seat belt- It's a starting the rx7 karma thing

when you live by the motto if it ain't broke try to modify it to make it that much better.

when working on any other car would be considered bad karma between you and your 7. its ok for her when its another rx7 but nothing else. just to help get the other one back on the road.

-When you just keep telling everyone it IS faster than a volkswagon.
-When you go to the parts store and buy a oil pressure sending unit for the TENTH time.
-When your car runs fine where you drive it, and leaves your new girlfriend stranded on an interstate shortly after she called it "short and fat"

If I had a girlfriend and I trusted her enough with the car, I could so see that happening!

How about when you go out to eat and you ask the hostess if you can have "that seat over there," Just so you can keep an eye on the 7 while you eat...

-Another thing i find hilarious about these cars is the karma thing. MORE POSTS ABOUT IT!!! I have an example:
-If my car goes to a mechanic, that mechanic will bleed, if i do the work it seems like everything goes smoothly.....maybe thats just my rex.

When everybody who rides in the passenger seat seems to think they need to slam the door to get it shut and you yell at them because it might **** your car off.

I open and close the door for my friends, I got so tired of them slamming it after I tell them I wold rather them close it twice than once really hard. I got a weird look when I opened the door for my friend Jeremy.

at least your girl friend does not open the door with her foot. i swear every time she does it its a bitch to start the car the next time i try. funny fact my girl friend beg me to drive one day even tho half the time she says stuff about the car. she kept stalling it out and couldn't find the gears. but yet she can drive my carpi(stick) fine.






you know your a 1st gen owner when your trying to start you car in the cold and your friend is saying "i smell gas. you flooded it, i can unflood it" and you tell him its fine and it starts after two more times of him saying it.

i know i suck

You blow your transmission racing a spyder and smoking his ***.

Have super low end torque and smoke a cop at the green light.

you're also a 1st gen owner when your rear windshield wiper fails unexpectedly.

You're also a 1st gen driver when your rear end whips to the right when you're in 3rd and revving high.
