Mine did that too.... I thought it was broken. Every time I shut it off it sounded like I was shooting a spud from the tailpipe.

yeah even when i bought a brand new BMW 335 twin turbo and i just keep on driving my SA.

This is one way to get DFIS

When you design your entire build around a set of wheels that you know can not fir the car but will make it look so good.

i don't have to do that..... and i'm 6'-4"

when you'd rather rebuild your solenoid so you have a backup than use the new one that's sitting under the hatch.....might not be everyone but i'm tired of swapping starters when its just the solenoid most of the time.

when you have enough spare parts to build another one

then pulling my legs in must be cuz I'm old & fat :blush:

when you've only had an fb for 8 months and it's fought you every mile and the thought of possibly selling or trading it make you cry

when your coworkers make fun of the way it sounds and think you've done a motor swap... and put a husqvarna engine in it

when your buddy thinks his car can beat your fb and you just smile knowin how it would end

when you could get 36mpgs in your other car but you would rather get 20mpgs in your fb

when you take your 3month old daughter for a ride in your fb and she smiles and laughs the whole time just like you

when people say "your car is quick what do you have done to it" and you list off problems "oh well it's got a vacume leak, oil leak, exaust leak, and it's 30 years old"

when you have a piston keychain dangling from your towhook next to a honda emblem(also dangling from your towhook hehehe)

oh or while toppin off at the gas station some walks up and says "wow what an awesome car... would you sell it" me "how much we talkin" (cuz everyone has their price) stranger "well I'm on my way to the bank right now how bout 1800" now I was thinkin who does that but 1800 in my face I don't care Ill take him up on it... then he asks "what is it?" and I didn't answer I just drove off I thought it was a dumb choice but I'm glad I did what I did

When you've locked your keys in the car many times because you close the door holding the handle
When an inch of play is considered "minimal"
When "beehive" is mentioned, you think of oil coolers

When you got a new civic,:icon_tup: a new harley and U allways take the SA

I keep meaning to fix that....but i cant figure out how. Lol.

When your father has been working on cars for 20+ years and says it's the most frustrating thing he's ever worked on.

Nevermind

bump

When you never get tired of asking "Are those 4 X 110s?"

...when you can freehand draw from memory significant portions of your car's wiring diagram.

...when you find yourself hand re-packing your front wheel bearings, and realize that axle grease is just plain fun to squish between your fingers.

...when your Factory Service Manual is thinner than most new car owners' manuals... but your receipt book is thicker than the local phone book.

...when you find yourself halfway-seriously contemplating if it's crazy to want to be buried in it when you go.

All awesome :nod:

when on a long trip your better half keeps telling you "we're lost aren't we?" and you say "nope, there's an advance just around the corner . . . we're good baby!"

You know you're a first gen owner when you can get a slight high just by standing next to your exhaust after you've ran the car for only a couple minutes.

OMFGGG so true. My car has a terrible exhaust leak and sounds like hell. Every1 in my dorm on base says "ur cars a POS" 2 days later "hey man... my cars broke can i get a ride to work" hahah.

Score 1 rx7

When cops are anxious to pull you over for not having a front license plate, inspection and registration sticker, only to find out you have an antique plate on the back.

I'm pretty sure there are supposed to be rules in place for antique plates around here lol

Yes there are rules for antique plates. I'm fortunate to have a DD and my RX7.

The girl @ the parts counter says
"Wow, 1.1 liter. You must get great mileage".

When, after a 5 min explanation, complete with rotary key chain demonstration, the old gentleman who was asking about your car asks for the third time "so how many cylinders does it have?"

I love it!
