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

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

... When it's 1 in the morning and you just realised it took you 1h30 to read all this lol
... When you get pulled over for a "burned rear brake light" and the officer's partner laughs at him when you say you don't have one ( true story :P )
... When you get in the passenger door <-- guilty !
... When you invite your buddy Jon over (vipernicus42 ) to clean the engine bay with Simple Green, and he agrees because it's the only 7 in a garage he can get his hands on during the winter
... When 2 1st gen Owners are sitting in a rex with no seats, start her up just to hear that sweet, sweet Wankel sound threw that RB exhaust
... When you decline being the DD because "My car only has 2 seats"
... When you drive up to a bar or special event with a fucked up sidewalk and you take it at 0.00001 km/h giving her gas, and everybody in the line up looks at you in aw, then you park her in front ( cuz she deserves it) and walk in VIP (GOD that was SWEET !)
... 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 ******* insane for wanting to put that in a 1st gen ( GIMME A YEAR BABY, OH YEAH !:P )
... When your next 100 pay cheques are already pre-destined for parts for the car
... When people ask you which one's your car and you say it's the mazda Porshe in the driveway
... When your buddy doesn't understand why you get pissed off at seeing an RX-8 in winter time
... When people play with your speaker joysting and go "what's this? "
... When your unkle who's a head mechanic for Toyota sees you in your car for the 1st time and yells out " YOU BOUGHT A WANKEL ? :O ! "
... When everytime you see your unkle that doesn't beleive in Mazda's or Wankels, your car has broken down (Why can't it brake the next day? I don't know ! )
... When chicks who think they know cars because their Ex has a "1.6L civic" scratch their heads when you beat their ex, and tell then you got a 1.1L (MOUHAHA, funny cuz it's true :P )
... When you drive in front of a place with glass and look at yourself, that's what it looks like while moving ! ... sweeeeet !
... When you can fix ANY prblem on your car, but for some reason you friend's colt has a minor bugg in it and you like:" meh, I dunno .. those damn piston engines ! "
... When you try to explain to everybody why you store a 20 yr old car for the winter while driving a 2000 Camry and call it your "winter beater" (Priceless)
I got SOO many but .. I'll stop here !!
Funnyest one: When Your car breaks down on the side of the road, and you laugh at having to get it towed, AGAIN ... Then you help the tow truck guy to hook it up cuz you now know how <--- That happened SOOOO often .. I even know which levers to pull :/

....you realize the car is older then you.
....you kick your friends *** for talking it down.
....you and your friends feel the car has its own personality and is possessed because it revs on its own when a riced out civic pulls up next to you.
....your die-hard enough to be able to drive thru a snow storm and beat an STi.
....you have better control over then car then the guy with the "most advanced all wheel drive" STi
....when your friend wants you to replaces his front bumber cause you shot flames and melted part of it.
....your friend is going to sell his celica cheap so you can take the 7 off the road to upgrade.
....the girls at school argue with eachother who gets to ride in your only seat, then decided to take 2 of them anyway.
....when you look at a porsche and say the guy doesnt know what hes missing.
....you cry when they tow away whats left to your parts car.
sadly almost every one i have read in here applies, cept for the daughter ones, but i do steal them away from their dads if that counts.

This has got to be the best thread ever loll :P
... When you love to impress people with you WORKING light cleaning sprays up front
... When you pull up to a car meetup, and only stick with the "Rotary" part of the show
... When every possible triangle you see reminds you of a Rotor
... When people talk about cars you don't mind looking like an *** bringing in your 1st gen in the conversation when your TOTALLY off subject
... When you go pick up a hot chick at school and everybody can see up her skirt as she sits down cuz the car is so low (Long live short skirts !), and you see all her friends pist cuz SHE gets to climb abord !
This kicks *** !
