When your talking to your good friend about your 7 at school and someone overhears and says cool you have an rx7! You calmly say say knowing they mean a 3rd gen. You try to let it go but cant and end up arguing that a 1st is better in so many ways.

 

Everyday of my life. The answer is pretty much never.

 

When people are baffled because Id rather get my 79 rx7 street legal than my 78 trans am!

 

when you've been running your car hard for a while, come to a stop light and you look at your girl in the passenger's side and she says "if the speed or the grenades (backfire) don't kill us, then these fumes will."

 

you are most certainly an rx7 owner when there is more phone #'s of towing company's then phone #'s of girls in your cell phone

 

You know your a 1st gen 7 owner when you tell the 8 owner at the redlight my 7's faster than your 8!! Then you Smoke him!!

 

so many of these apply to me


You know you're a 1st gen owner when the plastic piece on the front of your car that you need to replace costs 500 FRIGGIN' DOLLARS!!!!

 

when after you have collected four of them then your girl friend gets one so she can have fun to

 

when you get asked OVER AND OVER about your "little datsun"

 

You know your a first gen owner when youve considered a six year military tour to pay for a 13bt swap and widebody project

 

you know your a first gen owner when your car stops making that funny noise you get worried

 

...when you already know which parts to not even BOTHER asking after at the Dealer, or the local parts shop.

 

lol bwahahahahahahahah that happens to me all the time in school only i know a 3rd gen is better.

 

When a fire hydrant blocks your view in a left hand turn.

 

 

when you have to turn your rear-view mirror up just to check out the hot girl in the civic behind you.

 

When your rearview won't turn up enough to see anything above the wipers of the car behind you

 

When your power windows are so slow you wish you had manual windows.

When you go wheel shopping and your bolt pattern returns 4 wheeler results.

When you go to an autozone asking if they have "wheel bolts" (it comes up in their computer search as Rx-7 studs)

When you need a special tool just for changing the brake pads.

When funny smells signal that all the systems are working properly.

 

When u have 2 pull your legs in at your nee to get in , and your under 6' tall

 

When you argue with the "kid" behind the counter at the parts store that points and plugs are two different things, and "yes, points do exist!".

When you're $3,000.00 ride lives in the garage, and your wife's $30,000.00 ride isn't allowed.

 

When you realize that every pickup truck and SUV in existance have their headlights at EXACTLY the height (and often, the width) of your side mirrors.

QFT, that...

 

..when your rx7 actually works most of the time.

 

i hate this specially at night....most annoying thing ever.

 

when you got to the junkyard for non-rx7 parts and when you walk out into the yard and the very first thing you see if a GSL with the rear discs to get rid of your drums and the glass moon roof you were telling your friends you wanted the night before and you run inside to ask about it like a 4 year old at an amusement park grinning from ear to ear to giddy to sit still and ask about it and they haven't even had time to process it. You talk them into holding it for you and its so you can rip the parts and its like christmas and your b-day at once! YIPPIE

Your friends muscle car loving friends and their girlfriends and their moms could tear down your 12A with they're eyes closed because you never shut up about that car.

 

For a moment there, I felt like I was the one picking up the parts and got all excited. lol
