Does that comment really surprise any of you? I mean seriously, all you have to do is go in the lounge at any given time and theres always a war going on about which gen is "best." Everyone is gona say the one they have and associate with is the best obviously. And all of us should know that Fb's are all but a forgotton car at this point. Only our little group has any interest in them. And to be fair, many of us (myself included) are guilty of this, personally I find FC's to be ugly and consider them only uselful for providing us fb'ers with better engines and transmissions. I admit it is a bit odd to hear the owner of the largest rx7 forum say he doesn't give a **** about a certain rx7, but its nothing to cry about. Thats my 2 cents.

as much as i talk up the 1st gen being all king ****, part of what i love about it is that it's mostly forgotten.

tho surprisingly often, i'll talk to someone about my car who says something like "i used to have one of those and i totally loved it"

i do agree about the 2nd gen's purpose being to supply us 1st gen guys with nifty parts.

me neither. It's a socially gracious way to get out of it. But it's nevertheless a retraction so that's progress.

Who cares? Opinions are like ********...

If he doesn't like them, that's his right. Just because he owns this place, etc., doesn't mean he has to agree with our opinions. It's not his fault - he just doesn't know any better.

WTF!!! How the HELL could I not be joking with a comment like that? This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen! My God people, anybody who has ever had any interaction with me on here knows I joke ALL the time. The first issue of RX Tuner had just as much FB content as any, the next issue is titled Old School ... and will start a series of articles on how to build up a Spec 7 1st gen, and I specifically asked for more 1st gen owners to submit their car for Readers Rides consideration.

And what's most fucked up is that a fellow St Louis guy who I've met personally is the one who started this. What is wrong with you? You're right, I'm just a FB hater. One ran over my dog when I was 6, I've never healed since *sniff*

Who's surprised? You shouldn't be. Boostd 7 has shown that he doesn't give two ***** about the 1st gen repeatedly.
Lets see you back that comment up Moses.

Oh yeah, I should admit, I do love the mag. Just can't wait until it is longer, I went through it faster than my weekly fix of autoweek.

With so much supporting evidence, how could one argue with that logic!

forgive and forget. how many of you have been pissed at your car and maybe muttered something hateful under your breath about the car? i have. perhaps he was joking, perhaps he wasn't. its just his opinion. if BOOSTED7 hates the FB, so what. we love our FB's and thats all that matters. what is the first amendment gentlman? however, i will say this, if BOOSTED7 bashes the FB publicly and then lies about what he says and denies that he said things, then he definatly needs to be talked to.
