i dont want to be considered a misogynist ( i love women) but this happened with me and my ex

>buy dream FB
>she calls saying im an idiot and will "love" the car more than her
>breaks up with me

now im forced to spend all my money and time on my FB (a shame right?)

 

When the clerk at gas station looks at you weird when you ask "can I get exactly 8 gallons". It's so I can premix Duh...

 

(Number of gallons gas) x 1.28 = (Ounces 2-cycle oil to add)... Will give you 100:1 ratio

 

....when you see other people smoking in their car and you think that even the smallest spark in your car would make the whole interior explode due to all the fumes.

ahhh but that smell.

 

There are so many great ones I can relate to and hard to think of one that hasn't been posted,but..............
When your daughter makes your birthday cake in the shape of your car.

 

That is by far one of the most awesomest things ive ever seen. Permission to share on the internet ?

 

Pop up's and all.

 

She was 14 when she made it. You would probably want to crop me out if you use it.
She said thanks for the compliments!

 

When you can't help but burn out in front of silly Hondas

 

Thanks Garyrotor. Will do.

 

when you have a seperate budget just for your car. when you buy a car for parts and end up wanting to build the parts car up cause it makes you feel bad for just letting it sit there. when you have to constantly explain what resides in the engine bay. when you keep more oil on hand than there is milk in the fridge. when you love the odd looks you get while transferring the car and the clerk at the dmv sees 2 cylinder on the title. i could keep going but i'm gonna stop.

 

Awesome.

My fiancee asked what I'd like as the groom's cake.
<---BAM check out my avatar. I'll try to get better pics of the cake.

 

Totally cool!

 

You buy the cake pan modeled on the SA and bake it yourself.

 

when you brap to yourself

 

When you show your 4 barrel and then tell them its for a 70CC engine..

 

when you refuse to sell it to have money for a more practical daily, even though you may be better off financially. because who needs money? :P

 

If you forget RX8's have rotary engines as well.

 

i still cant find a drivers side rear light .... they only have the passenger.

when your to the point your rebuilding ignition switches... now i just need to figure out how to get it to cooperate

 

this is the 23 rd anniversary of my rx-7 purchase!

 

you know youre 1st gen owner when....



--Normal cars get 7L/100Km
And you keep driving your 1st Gen using 24L to drive the same 100Km


-- you want one 3Gen FD, but after you try the 1st Gen SA/FB you
just can´t imagine selling it or exchange with any other car..

--you learn how to make backfires on the exact moment you want it.

--you have one Mazda MX6 GT turbo with over 220HP, but you insist that
the small 12A engine is faster and more fun to drive with less than 150HP.

-- you imagine yourself so old that the seat of your 1st gen is removed to fit the
wheelchair, and your windshield is replaced by one big magnifier visor.

-- but you are a true 1st gen owner when you want to take it to the grave with a spair engine one the back..

 

i can relate...my 8 yr old son walks into the garage and before i open the door he inhales deeply and says "i love the smell of the brown car" (my 85 is the ugly bastard brown...it's a true sleeper )

you know you're a true 1st gen owner if you say with pride "i got more in this car than what it's worth"

 

...When you pop the hood on your truck to check fluids and try to lift it from the hinged side

 

I bought an 81 not too long ago and the body/paint look like absolute **** but the 13b+turbo in it make it run reeeaal fast-like I love when Civics with a 4" exhaust pull up next to me and I downshift to blow them off the highway.

My car needs a lot of work, as all 1900$ cars do, but it's running better by the day
