And you even have one for sale in your signature. Very nice.

...no matter what kind of floor mats you put in, they always find their way mashed up under the pedals.

To all you people looking for cheap NGK-BR8EQ spark plugs... (that's from memory... it's pretty close to that though) I found a box at my local auto store... the smaller the better, i think it was 45$ for 8. I actually asked a snowmobile shop where to find them and they knew exactly what I was looking for. Try that sometime.

Also, when you see your new finished exhaust start flaking and peeling and you think, eh? that's normal... just surface rust. Rb uses some think metal! haha

You know your a FB owner when your car has a baby book... and you carry it around.

hahaha i thought i was the only one. i finally found a nice set of heavy rubber mats, i believe they're about 25 bucks at walmart, but i got them for free at my work since people before me forgot to put them back in a car (i work at a carwash) lol.

When the smell of Premix becomes the preferred cologne for date's.

when you tell people you have an RX7 and then they see it and say "thats not the car from Fast and the furious", you say no, its better :)

When almost 5 years later, this thread keeps on living.

When you bought your FC and was sad because there were no FB's to buy

The new lawyers being hired in your office are not as old as the car you bought when it was new.

You have owned built FCs and FDs, but you prefer the old-school look and feel of an FA or FB.

Your daily driver is an M3, but you still can't wait for the weekend so you can pull the cover off your FB.

jshiz 09-11-09 02:34 PM

When you have to tell somebody that "If it smokes, it's normal" when it's they're first time riding in it.

Julian 09-11-09 02:53 PM

When you remember your sons age by counting 1 year past the day you ordered your new FB; and your new wife is only 10 years older than your car.

With all due respect Julian, you must not have driven one. The Porsche has nearly 3X the horsepower, perfect balance and way more torque than the nearly stock RX-7. While the RX-7 will still reach 120 mph (down hill with a tail wind) it takes a long time to get there. The Cayman S will hit 120 mph as easily as it will hit 40 mph. I'll stand by my signature statement.

flamin-roids 09-11-09 03:26 PM

When your most commonly uttered response when driving somebody around is "That's normal."

When asked what you would do if you were rich, you think about all the RX-7's you could buy.

That's so true :lol:

DoomedXtance 09-24-09 06:28 PM

when you realize that youve spent more money on your car than on groceries for the year.

84gs_rx 09-25-09 02:53 PM

when u've already told 5 people that day that no your cars not on fire (smoking) that's just the oil leak. " would the owner of the white 'mazda ZX', please come to the front of the store something on your car is smoking" and yeah i ment to type ZX :( uggh

RustyRacer 09-25-09 09:33 PM

You know you're a first gen owner when someone says they've got an RX-7 too, and your first thought is they have a first gen as well.
