When you were able to selectively pick out and run over twigs in the street with confidence within five minutes of driving your fb for the first time.

When your idea of an ideal Saturday is wandering around pick-n-pull.

When your girlfriend refuses to be seen in "that old car" and you prefer it that way too.

When you keep the old fb around even when you can afford something newer.

When most of the pictures you take are of your car.

LOL, these are great

...When you drive to texas and back to MT for a road trip, and are sad that it's over.

:P

When you got your first RX and thought it was the fastest thing on the road, just cause it was so low to the ground


I want to get a 2nd gen, but after reading all these, I really want to get a 1st gen again, just for fun

When your discount at the parts store for working there means nothing to you.

^^^This is true. I only get discounts on things that we have instock that aren't, spark plugs, coolant, or oil. Anyone who has ever tried to get anything for a 7 at a parts store will know, you have to order almost EVERYTHING!

that last 1 is SO true
P.S. i finished it now more peple need to post stuff... need more funnies ... that are compleatly true

When you get a bonus check and think: sweet, now I can get a turbo. Next year I can get the harness to make the turbo work!

you know you are an 1st gen owner when your fan belt breaks on the way to work and you have 4 other spares in the compartment and fix it on the side of the road in a business suit in 10 minutes.

when you and your buddies cruise to a show in another state, and while they think about hotel expenses, you think about gas expenses

when the name of your car is roxy and you don't think anything's wrong with that

when you stop by your local napa to pick up spark plugs... they don't have any.. so you stop by your local snowmobile shop on the way home and they know exactly where to find a whole box... just happened today

You talk to strangers about your cars for hours a think little of what the other people actually do apart from owning a 7, good enough for me

your worries are as follows... blue smoke... that's ok... black smoke... need to tune the carb... white smoke? ahh crap have to think about this one

Cool

When you've read all 34 pages

When after reading all the pages, and despite the fact that most of them are problems, you decide to by another FB instead of an FC cause you miss your old one so much
