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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
