When the owner/operateor of the local salvage knows you on a first name basis because you're there at least once a week to get another N.L.A. part for the 7 . . . . and your fiance and his dog know each other as well as the 2 of you.

When everyone knows you as the guy that smells like gas, I saw my one buddy the other day and he was like, "I thought I smelled gas around here". Haha, the funny thing was that I wasn't driving the RX that day, he just said that because I usually smell like it!

BrGreenSA 11-02-10 09:37 AM

when your family doesnt know much about rotaries, and you fall asleep working on it saturday night, and your family abruptly shakes you and wakes you up, all because they thought you died of gas poisoning based on the smell....

When people keep asking you if you smoke, then you figure out they smell the exhaust fumes on your clothing from your non catalytic converter, running rich and premixing so it won't chuck an apex seal rx7.

I had a heated debate with my doctor during a checkup. He kept insisting I smoked and wouldn't let up.

When your date for the night says "looks uncomfortable"

When you drive another car and you can still hear the buzzzz in the back of you mind when its time to shift.

Or when you drive another car you make the buzzzz noise because you miss it.


I miss my 7 :(

JoeNoble 11-17-10 11:04 PM

you drive a newer "nicer" car and cant stop thinking about your 25 year old rotary

RotoricanNY 11-17-10 11:14 PM

you freak out when you realize you haven't checked your oil in a week and you've been driving her every day

Ha I know I got all screwed up when I drove a friend's 5-speed! LMAO, it's like shit why's the engine dying at 7000 rpms, the buzzer isn't going off so I can't be redlining it! Luckily she wasn't there to witness all this....;)
