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.

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."

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 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 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.
