HAHAHA.. been there

 

Your toolbox is taller than you.

 

when you have three "backup" vehicles in addition to your fb/sa, yet those don't run either
when you lose several 10 and 12 mm wrenches because you left them in the engine bay

 

When you buy a BMW and then kick yourself for not getting the pristine one owner FB that was cheaper and a better car.

 

... when you start buying parts before you even own the car

 

when you shift into neutral to coast past cops to avoid getting tickets for your exhaust noise

 

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 your family knows you as the guy that always smells like gas

 

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!

 

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....

 

I've had to do that waaaay to many times lol.

 

hahah good one

 

When the cop asks how fast it will go? andyou say ,wanna run? Bob

 

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"

happened this weekend lol

 

when you redline so many times the buzzer quit working

 

^^^ this

 

when the BP oil spill only reminded you of what the 12a has been doing for years.... lol

 

does an 82 have a buzzer? mine quit working if it did... i do have 290k miles tho

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

done that before. lol

 

you bitch to your coworkers because you wish you had a longer commute and they don't understand why.

 

Ha I know I got all screwed up when I drove a friend's 5-speed! LMAO, it's like **** 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....
