Sup guys...... I just got my 6th rx7, this will be my 4th 1Gen, I had to come back. anywayz.... How far do you guys drive to work on your rx7s? Im doing 51 miles one way any one tops that?

 

Why not make your 7th car a Toyota?

 

Yeah, I'll second that. Dude, we love our cars and all, but an FB won't get you to work and back every day at 100 miles a day for long. Besides, the mileage sucks. Find a $500 Tercel and keep the miles off your baby.

 

Heh, now I have to take issue with that. These cars are plenty reliable when driven conservatively. Or so I've heard... =)

 

Hey I've driven my RX-7 60 Miles (Total, there and back) to work 5 days a week for like three months now, and besides me being stupid and overheating it once. Darn Beehive Oil Coolers! It's been fine, still running fine after the overheat... It just consumes more oil now... <.<

I'll drive her untill she can't go any further too darn it!

 

lol ya Im going to use wifys car 2 days in the week so it shouldnt be to bad, and im in the deal of buying another car to drive. But I would love to drive it all the time, some guy at worked asked me if it was a V6 I was like hmm read up on da Doc. man it feels so good to drive a rex again, ive been driving a 95 honda prelude but dont come close to the feel of a rex. and the nice smell from the muffler

 

I take issue with that too. My non-turbo RX-7's have been pretty much indestructible and no one has ever called me a conservative driver! I've been driving them for over 21 years now including multiple trips across Europe and the US. For a few years I was driving up to 85 miles a day through rush hour traffic over the potholed streets of Washington DC and the RX-7's have always held up admirably with very few problems and very low maintenance. Even better, the car is simple enough that potential problems are often readily identified and fixed before they cause a breakdown. I own numerous other cars and the sad thing is the first generation RX-7's probably get the best fuel economy of the lot. At least they run on low octane, which is a bonus. It's actually not that bad and I've occasionally gotten up to 30 mpg on the highway.

 

Ray Green Drives his every day to work, He was doing 100 each day or each way, Dont remember right now.

 

im doing 35 miles one way almost everyday, i get around 20mpg in my 83, i really can't complain at all, never had a real problem with it, and i would trust it as much if not more than most other cars i have driven or owned....

and keep rackin up the sevens, thats what i do, i have six at my house!! its awesome

 

the only cars I have ever owned have been Rx-7s (im only 19). I used to take my 82 on ~120 mile trips twice a weekend plus where ever else I drove durring the week. I would say they are pretty reliable.

 

My 7 is a weekend pleasure cruiser. During the week, I drive 62 miles (one way) in my *gasp* Honda Civic! 38 MPG...gotta luv it!

 

I drive mine all over the place-- used to make trips between Rochester & Syracuse a couple times a week (that's about an hour drive) not to mention commuting within either city...
I'ver put over 10k mi on my '81 since I bought it and things have been decaying at about the rate I expected for its age and unknown background...
Right now I'm only commuting about 30 mi each way.

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys..I did 204 miles on half a tank 90% highway.. that dont sound too bad, I got stopped last night, it was funny cause the cop just wanted to know where he could get a rx7 lol

 

did you tell him you had a few extras as a bribe??? thats a good idea...i never have to worry though, cause my dad's a cop, so i know all of the cops and they know our rx-7's....works out great

 

lol
