I worked on someone's computer yesterday, and when she noticed the car I drove, she said "My husband bought one of those when they were new -- he thought it was a chick magnet."

I know it's a stupid post, but I thought it was pretty funny at the time. I never thought of it as one... maybe then, but not necessarily now.

Anyone have any comments?

 

ticket magnet- yes.
chick magnet?- nahh.

 

Girls dont like first gen RX-7's. I've only ever gotten one shout out driving an rx7, and taht was with my stock black one, years ago.

 

If they are polished up all purty with a nice set of wheels, they still are a chick magnet in the right area, If you see BMWs and cadilacs, im guessing noone is gonna be impressed with the 20 year old mazda, but around here a well taken care of firstgen is a babe magnet

 

Point well taken, n00b.... My girlfriend lives in Frisco, TX (where the population is about 55k, the average age is early 30-something, and the average income is well over $70k anually) and even when I was driving a 95 GMC Safari van about a month ago through there, I was STILL driving the oldest car in that area... now that I have my 1st gen, I have to tell people "It's a classic"

....granted, that still doesn't explain the dent in the rear fenderwell and the noisy exhaust leak.

 

Go to Chicago, dude... chicks would be drooling all over your car. I know one chick from there that's stationed here at Fairchild... she LOVES them!!! She says they're HUGE there. But... that's just what she said.

 

the first thing my g/f said upon seeing my car was "oh my God, that is the coolest car I've ever seen." and she doesn't say crap like that just to make me happy

 

sounds like she's a keeper!

 

What do u mean girls dont like 1st gen rx7s, lol i met my boyfriend when he had a rx7 thought it was the coolest car ever( Becuase it is!!!) and when he blew his engine i took the car bought a new engine for her and now she is my daily driver:-),,, you guys just need to find the right chicks :-)

 

Speak for yourselves because I won't be a part of this!!!!

The Rx7 has a gravitational pull and sexy girls Orbit around my car!!!

I've even had a chick flash me in the car.... Chicks always wave, ask me questions about it.

It's great!!

 

must be a Canadian thing, eh?

Just kidding!

 

Most girls think the car is cool. Even in its age, it still is destinctively a sports car. Girls like sports cars, especially small ones (no offence to the girls on this board, but most don't like large cars).

 

My girlfriend wishes I had a truck.

 

That was supposed to be me. Goddamned forum.

 

my car its an 85se is in fairly nice shape just about once a week I get asked to sell it and chicks . . . a select few think its really cool now my old blue 83 gs with no pass seat stripped int a red hood and ran so rich it would make your eyes water that one only got me love from other guys in rx7's

 

My GF is constatly calling my car "cute". Annoys the hell outta me.

 

Had an ex who liked my car because it was original. She always hated how every guy had a "******* mustang or firebird"

Anyway, around here 1st gens get alot of respect. I've had plenty of people stop me and ask me about my car and it's not even that great looking due to some people hitting me car. Point is, it's definitely starting to become a classic and is getting alot more respect.

 

When my EX first say my 7 it was dark and she goes Nice you own a corvette I just rolled my eyes and shook my head. When i said no its a RX7 she's like what that who makes it? SO i say Mazda. And she is like Ewww Thats not a real sports car then.

 

i'd kick her in the teeth.

 

Women aren't stupid. The over-20 ones that date a guy because of the car he drives know the value of the dollar. A $40,000 Mercedes 4-door sedan trumps a $4000 mint condition GSL-SE every time, ie: it's your INCOME they're interested in. **** them, but don't fall in love with them.

But if young, impressionable, not-yet-sophistcated highschool chicks are your vice you might be in luck--- the 1st gens are dead sexy and these girls love to be seen in them, even if they're not very attracted to the driver.

 

NO **** MAN my g/f gets pissed at the girls asking to ride in my car and its not the prettiest first gen ever, (i love creswell, avg income like 20k population 3000)

 

Are you kidding! Chicks LOVE the 7. Here in Australia they line up for a ride!

Guess it's the whole "exotic" wow it's something different, you don't see that car in every 10 you pass.

I would wager it would've been back in early 80's, and to this day I certainly still get tons of looks from chicks, saying how nice it is.

 

I beg to differ - Pamela was a babe magnet. Of course they were young, impressionable chicks

 

God damnit. Thats it, i'm moving.

 

as for me, well, lets just say i went to a grad party last year for a friend that graduated early, met this hot chick there, this year i go to hers (hadnt been able to get in contact for the whole time), first question she asks me "where is you cute little car? i wanted to take a ride in it" (had a b/f, but another story for another time)

fb's here are decent babe magnets, provided u dont act like a dumbass ricer
