Your the only one that will ride in your car becuase, it rides like a 120 MPH skate board, Guzzles gas like a mick on a binge, and you see an orthopedist for arm & chest painand his diagnosis is sell your 7 Ill stick with the asprin thanks Doc.

When you show your friends pictures of them as if they were your kids "here's the oldest"

When you have a 12a rotor and housing on your desk at work

You hope chicks will think you're cool while explaining how it all works

when a ford sport track can take you down

you put a V8 in it so the 7 really can't lose

you're "hated by all" because you have a v8 in your 7

Then your not an first gen RX-7 owner!!:D

You know your a first gen owner when the only thing you ask for for christmas is parts for your seven!

hahahaha so true.

lol, no, I'm a 1st gen rx-7 owner, but not a 1st gen rx-7 driver :p:.

... when all you ask for for christmas is money, so you can put it towards your rx-7.

haha, I got sway bars for the 7 last christmas.

... When everybody who doesn't own a 7 either 1) thinks .."meh , a 1.3 L twin turbo can't be THAT fast " or doesn't find you fucking insane for wanting to put that in a 1st gen ( GIMME A YEAR BABY, OH YEAH !:P )
