You know you're a 1st gen owner when...
When you call to register for the local track event and you say "RX-7, 1984" to which the registrator says "You mean '94." "No, '84." To which he responds "I bet you wish it was a '94." And you say "No! I've owned a FD, and I currently own a FB--not because I want or can't afford a FD, but because I want an FB."
You get a clean T2 but refuse to get rid of the beater FB, with 10+ colors of paint, no interior, no turn signals, junk suspention, broken tranny and rear end.... Sure I'm not dayly driving her anymore, till she's fixed. then I'll be swaping every other week or somthing. T2 is a great car, but feels like a tank compaired to a first gen.
hahaha i have california plates that expired in 2000, i live in texas. and it makes my daily 30mile commute
... when you're getting back into your car outside Circle K and notice someone walking around your car... eying it.. pondering... slowly they walk up and ask: "is this a RX7?"
... to which I reply "yup, but it's had a lot of body mods. Seamless Mariah and Mazdaspeed body components and Kosei rims."
... and the guy replies "wow, looks good... I got my first DUI in a RX7"
This is about when he pulls a 40oz of Naty Ice out of a paper bag, popped the lid and took a sip... YEAH... I know...

When your other mazda is faster, more comfortable, handles better, gets better gas mileage, can carry more than one other person, but you still drive the rx7 every day because it's more fun to drive!

When "Seafoam" is your answer to almost every performance related problem on any engine.
When your credit card is charged monthly for Seafoam to be delivered to your house because you got tired of buying it at the store.
When your the fire dept no longer bothers to even leave the firehouse when someone says there's a fire in your neighborhood.

... when you number and store your old fouled plugs (and other parts) with engine position, date replaced, and mileage.
...when you spend two weeks of nights and weekends prepping for a smog check, sweating it like a college finals exam.
