Your a first gen owner when you talk so much about your car that everyone hates you for it.

-Your a first gen owner when you are recognized on the street as a loud bang or a puff of smoke.

 

--when you keep a piece of wood in the back to hold up the rear hatch

--when when you hate going through the drive thru cause when you leave you have to open the door and give the window a helping hand to roll it up

--when no matter who is next to you on the road you are certain they want to race you and you will inevitably win

--when rainy days are your best friend and sideways is the direction most of your trips are traveled in

--when people laugh at your smoke puff on startup then shut the hell up when the next cloud of smoke is coming off your tires

--when you find the front bumpers offensive

--when your engine is neater and more detailed than your interior

 

u know your a first gen owner when u get those, "Hey i used to have one of those when i was younger!" haha happened to me 7 times already, what a kawince!
Utah is so in love with pistons, the ones who like rotarys would pay anything for such a rare car.

 

-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"[/QUOTE]

that is so true, my car is so temepermental with anyone except me. One time I let my girlfriend borrow her and she got 3 blocks down the road and it died. I came and got her and it started up just fine. drove it home inspected it and found nothing wrong. She drove it again and got 2 blocks this time and agin it ran just fine for me. After the 3rd time we all gave up and my girlfriend hasn't drove it since.

 

i tell my dumb *** cousin that all the time and he does it anyways to **** me off. so one day i left him a few miles from his house at the mall, and he's never done it since

 

ha ha. my ex couldnt even start it cold. then when i showed her she got all pissy and then called my car ugly. And now thats why shes my EX.

 

shada 72, I get that look at the auto shops out here. I have peeps at a machining shop that are discounting my stuff since they feel sorry for me....I tell them I'm the sorry one since their cars are not as classy. Or violently aggressive shifting into second gear and blasting near 80 mph and get way past that on third. Oh yeah, race seals and higher compression ratios rawk ballz. Especially when a woman is driving the 7

 

I hope its not a repeat didnt feel like reading all 33 pages

"when you lose count of how many time you have been knocked in the head by your rear hatch and its failing struts!!"

"When you find one at a dealer ship and they tell you its real hard to start for some reason and they look at you crazy when you get it to fire right up!!"

 

My SA was the first one to bonk me on the head with the hatch. That hurt and I totally didn't expect it LOL. To the Dealership comment, there was an 83 GSL that was at an auction I went to once. I talked to the guys about it and they said that it started but it didn't idle at all. I fired it up with the choke out and started to let it warm up and the guy was like holy **** is it idling?? I said no it's warming up but it idled after the choke went back in and they were blown away. I wish I had more money or I would have got it

 

... when the one time you were thinking of selling, the "buyer" is driving it too nicely, and you push down on his knee so he floors it, and the car spits out a huge white smoke cloud, but drives fine for me the same way every time i drive her.

...when your friends ask why youre so depressed, and you tell them you havent driven your rx7 for 7 months.

... when you get excited about being almost done, so you can stop modifying the daily driver because its "just too slow" even though its faster than the 7 last time at the track.

 

...when the seat belt light randomly comes on to check up on you.

 

when you rest your head against the roof to stabilize your body during a turn

when you drive through towns with both your arms out the sunroof and window clapping them together above the car... (using knees to drive) but scaring people nonetheless

when you consider a v8 swap for about 5 mins then slap yourself back to reality by sitting going and revving your dying engine

when you have a miata sit next to your 7 and argue with that person about which one is smaller/better

when you calmly kick out your rear end and the person next to you throws their arms up and attempt to grab anything, while you just look over in the middle of the slide and laugh

when finding the u-channel for the damn window tracks makes your day, wait no week

when your friend in his vr4 revs his engine to show off his blow off valve and you look at him after wards and say "is that it?"

when your car sits for about a month and you start it up again after a couple mins of cranking....and all you see is black smoke for about 100 yards in every direction

when your friends you go cruising with complain about the gas smell while riding behind you

more as i think of em

 

When you wast a whole half a tank of gas giving about 15 people mini joy rides at the parking lot at work.

(seriously....it was fun but gas is so much $$$$)

 

when people run and duck due to a loud back fire.

when you set off car alarms due to your exhaust.

when you own every gen 1 rx7 in the area. thats me!!

 

when ur chick finds out thats true
and when u have to wait atleast a week for even the simplest parts, like spark plugs
and u know ur an SA owner when shucks wants to charge u $11.00 per spark plug and autozone cant get any..... true story

 

no the anti theft device is the fact that only an RX-7 owner can start the car and keep it running

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO true!
when ur land lord tells u "all the 7's have to move or u do."..... and u say "ok... ill be out in 30 days."

 

when u know the only cars worth owning run on magic triangles

 

when u realize ur 7/7's have a personality and are alive

 

when u think the new charger looks like a bastard child of a mustang and you blow past his egotisticl ***

When you were able to run over a twig in the street with confidence within five minutes of driving your fb for the first time.
