...when you've humped your car and not been ashamed.

...when you go to a meet and everyone seriously considers going for a cruise then cooking hot dogs on the engine and exhaust.

...when you realize that you could fit 95% of 4 RX-7s in the classic car you have stored since graduating.

...when you have hidden large parts for your RX-7 in that classic so the folks don't find out.

...when you get mad that 6 guys on crotch rockets aren't going fast enough on your favorite road through the park. (True story, me in my unmodified GS and I was running through the turns faster than they were. ******* wanted to stay below the speed limit.)

...you'll drive 30 minutes out of your way to go through your favorite onramp or run through the park.

...you know exactly how fast you can go over every hill on your commute and keep the wheels on the ground.

...you consistently go 2 mph over that speed just for a little thrill.

...you watch your girlfriends ***** float up when you take her for a ride over that hill.

...you go to a rally cross event with a friend in his car, blow the muffler out on the first heat and no one is surprised. (True)

...your conversation on the way home from that consists of 'WHAAAAT?!" (Sad but true)

...you realize it might actually be cheaper to buy an RB exhaust once than to keep replacing homebrew systems.

 

when your teenage daughter ( that for all she knows thinks your FB has always been a Mariah widebody ) doesn't like the stock creampuff FB you found for her first car. "But I like yours". "Well you can't have mine, dammit".

Instead she says she "kinda likes those Jeep Grand Cherokees" So you ground her for having poor taste.

 

...when you ask cereal makers to make Rx7 flakes. Flakes of shugary goodness with marshmellow rotors

 

Go to your room, don't you ever bring up pistons at the dinner table!

 

lol @ grime and mcnanny. I drive a Jeep Cherokee, sadly Not a Grand Cherokee, mind you, but it's certainly no rx-7.

That's me, 100%. It's either that, or looking for a running rx-7 so I don't have to do all the work to get mine running!! (I'm lazy and have no time. ... ok I'm just lazy.)

 

...when your teenage daughters friends think you're kinda cool because you drive up in a 7.

 

... when your teenage daughter thinks I'm cool 'cause I drive an FB, and you agree

Jon

Edit: ... when you end up spending more time working on the 7s with your new girlfriend's dad than trying to sneak off with the girlfriend

 

when you have a 3 car garage and the only car that stays in it is the 7. Because somebody might ding the 7 with a BMW or Expedition door. Anyway, it's easier to look at with the other **** outside where they belong.

 

when you've had more wives than you have 7's. The moral of the story: It's easy to find a good 7.

 

When you daughter asks if she can drive it to school you look at her and the look at your Rex and kinda shake your head and say, Naaaaaaaaaw...... just take your Moms car honey.

 

... when you buy a 7 on july the 7ths just to make sure that you get good luck with it

 

when you look at your 140 MPh speedometer and smile

 

...When your speedometer and tach line up in perfect harmony in 5th gear (84-85 12a)

 

When you try to kill your daily driver so you can justify to yourself buying another 7 to use as a daily because the one you have now is to modified to not drive you insaine in the traffic in the Baltimore area.

 

when you pay the extra for the Georgia license plate "DLIDFIS" and absolutely nobody has any ******* clue what it means.

 

My birthday is July 7! I never even thought about that. It was fate for me to have a 7!

 

Oh yeah,
when you try to convince the stupid kids at school who think they know about cars that your car just backfires when it's cold and it's no big deal when they keep telling you that your timing is off no matter how many times you tell them that you've checked the timing and it is perfect. Then you realize that they are just stupid and one drives a ford F-350 diesel compensator mobile and just give up and let them think they are smart.
Wow that was a long one.

 

wow sounds like my school it sucks huh? Well its my last year thank god! hang in there! And remember that your vehicle is better than theres they dont know **** about vehicle haha. If they say they know more about vehicles then you start questioning them with how many pistons does my car have! works everytime anyways im gonna shut up now goodluck

Oh ya and ill add one that ive found:
When you care more about getting your car running right and polluting more than passing high school =)

 

u know ur a 7 owner when......

ur the only one who has even seen a choke and used regularly..

 

You are a 1st gen owner when your 7 gets more Christmas gifts than your family.

When your girlfriend tells the cop to step away from the 7...true story! A true keeper!

But on the other hand she screams at you for using her best pot scrubber as a parts cleaning brush in the kitchen sink. Ever try to get the Chem-Dip smell out of the house before she gets home? "WHATS THAT SMELL"? she says.....answer uhhhhhhhhhh I don't know.....

 

When there is a porshe, viper, corvette, in auto show next to the parking lot and walk straight to the RX-7 that parked in the lot.

 

... when you want to pass someone because they are going too slow, but since you drive an '87 Cherokee that has 31x10.5" tires and a tranny that's slipping, you can't pass them. Then you think, 'Man, if only I had an rx-7, I could blow right by him with no problem.'

 

when the most common major induction upgrade is the stock turbo.

 

when you don't get pissed when you 7 doesn't start like your other vehicles and you try to reason with it as if it had feelings saying "hell it is cold I wouldn't wanna start either" (no choke and 25 degrees is impossible)

 

when you think the miata is styled more like and FB than the FC or FD
