Until I went to West Seattle. I have been drivng around Woodinville for the past 6 months since I got my license, and 17 years before that with my family, and I have only seen maybe 3 1st gens around here (not that I was realy looking before I started driving though), so I was feeling proud to have an original car. Well, a girl I like lives in West Seattle, so I have been back and fourth a few times now, and the second time I was over there, I saw 3 first gens in one night. A blue 84-85 GSL-SE, a silver 82-83 GSL, and a silver (I think, It was dark, but the rims gave it away) 83 Lmtd Edition . Then, the next night, I saw a brown 80-81 GSL on the side of the road (dead ), and another silver 84-85 GS is right down the street from this girls house...Like 4 houses down the street . I havent seen so many 7s in a long time . Anyway, I just thought Id share. I drive a silver GSL, so I guess I fit right in .

PS - I just had a thought...Maybe with all the 7s running around out there, thats why no one wants to race me...They've all learned their lesson already .

it was ALL your imagination! being smitten by chick has proven to have that affect on men ... it makes 80's and 81's look alike

yea, im at school right now, and in the parking lot this morning i saw 2 others, and know of one more that i just didnt see, so thast 4 first gens including me at my school, 2 of them are girls, and this one guy with a gsl-se but he kinda doesnt know much about them, he is a 'system' guy. i saw a 85 gs just like mine (red) it had a girly licence plate and flowers hanging from the mirror, but i havent seen her, maybe ill see her after school. looks like i am the only one hooking up a first gen decently

I've only seen seven first gens driving on the roads around here. No one at my school has one.

i see first gens all the time, for some reason 5 of them are my friends rides. Then theres another GSLSE with Florida plates i see around. 1 series 2, 2 blocks from my house. and like 4 other in my town. a used car dealer by my house always has an rx7 in the lot.

I see several 1st gens vitually everyday around my area. Gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling inside. I see about two 2nd gens every other week and about 1 3rd gen about every other month.

there are hardly any 1st gens here in cincinnati; when I was out in San Fran I saw about 3 in a day.

Around here there are at least 3 GSL-SE's, 2-3 GS's and my GSL that are constantly running around. I know of one (either GS or GSL) that is just sitting in my friend's uncle's driveway, neglected, but he won't sell it. Also a few 2nd gens, and 1 or 2 3rd gens. This town is rich with rexes.

Plus, I've got 4 1st gens (and a fifth if they decide to part it instead of selling it) and a 2nd gen in local boneyards (less then a ten minute dirve to either one) to pick over. One of the 1st gens actually has a RB Front Strut Tower Bar in it. But they refuse to sell it .

the most i have seen in one day is 2. but one of them was just like mine, which is not at all common( i was pissed but kinda glad). its a silver 79 s with one sideview mirror, and i think it also had the same bootleg steel rims. but i doubt it was lower mileage than mine so its ok.

I have that problem,
Most of the kids around here get cars from there parents (bastards) very few have the disiplin to pay for, upgrade and maintain a older sports car.
I do get the respect from the people of whoom it matters (others kids like me)

Anyways, one of these rich mothe ******* has copied me almost exactly. I have yet to see it, but my freinds who go to the local overstuffed public school told me about it. I am pissed as hell. Not so much that he is coping me, is that he isnt paying for it.

******!

No one at my school drives them, and like I said, no one around here has them... And until I went to Seattle, I never saw that many of them . But now I see them wuite often, and I kinda like it . Oh and when I said 80-81, I meant 79-80 cause it still had the lock on the gas door (I think they got rid of that after 80, right?) .

Mazda blanked the key-lock gas covers in '83 ... but don't mind me, i'm just an old guy with no life, so that's why i pay attention to these things.

anyway, where i'm living now, there are surprisingly quite a few Gen I cars around ... i heard that they even have a local club here, too.

monkeyboz

I am amongst the few who have a 1st gen rx7 here in my home town (and the only one rollin a LE ), but there's a grip of 2nd gens rolling around here, and yet, no 3rd gens from what i've seen , looks like I might be going in debt and hooking up a 3rd gen soon

onepointone

i like seeing them.. but not when i meet the person and they are like WTF is a rotary, much less what is a piston. its all good though, ill have the sweetest one

I remember when my 84 was only 6 years old. Everyone had a 7 or a Miata. Everytime I passed one we always flashed our headlights up and down. Even the Miata guys would flash me. It was like a religion. I would be out in the middle of nowhere, a 7 would go buy and it was like automatic headlight pop.

Ah the good old days, when people drove cars and appreciated them.
Other than the cherry'd pumpkin colored 7 I see around here most have teenagers in them and the exhaust are all **** so they soud like crap.

There are 2 fb's in front of my apartment, another in the garage, another at my wife's (2 miles away, don't ask), and yet another that we just put a deposit on in Dallas. It would be odd to me not to see at least 3 in a day.
