Is it just me or was the FB Rx-7 THE chick car of the 80's? On several different occasions I have been approached by 40 something year old women who always open with the same line, "I had an rx7 like this one, I loved it but it never started during winter." This has happened several times mainly at grocery stores, work, and the gym, it's interesting to be approached by a soccer mom to find out she wants to talk cars. Makes me wonder if I passed up a great opportunity to pick up older women when I was still single. Oh well as I sit down to think of what could've been, I fire up netflix and play an old knight rider episode just to see Micheal Knights girl friend show up in..... you guessed it.

 

Its the FB same thing happens to me, even with the GF in the car hahaha

 

I get approched all the time in my car. think it is great, girl friend too, she loves to talk about the car.

 

I totaly agree cougar's are always comming to me and saying how they used to have one.

 

I didn't find out till after I was married, but my wife had a 1989 RX-7 with am auto trans (she can't drive a manual)

 

The -7 was the "chick car" for "liberated" women who liked driving sports cars, which were kind of a new thing to run across in the late 70's early 80's.

Mazda did market heavily to the female market with the -7, as I recall; some of the design features, and even the owner's manual, show a lean toward addressing female thinking that was not common in sports cars at the time.

 

i think all the other women bought camaro's...

 

Berlinetta Camaros to be exact.

"The Camaro Buick would have made"

 

Stunning what a 5.0 does to a (Chick Car)!

 

LMAO so true.

And to the OP, yes when SA/FB's were new they were primarily bought by females or nerds, kinda like Miata's... Funny how things change as the car's age isn't it?

 

That's because women are a crappy judge of distance and the 1st gen is small and it's easy to see how far you are out the back when parking. (Cue wrecked SUV ccomments.)

 

I was working on mine in the driveway the day after I got mine and this really hot MILF was getting her mail, she yelled across the street " Oh my God! I used to have a yellow one just like that! It was an 83. I haven't seen one since I told my dad he could give it to my brother. I'm gonna have to come by and go for a ride in it when it's running ." And that wink is no joke, I really got one from her lol. Can't wait to get her running now lol!

 

 

Definitely,
%100 stock look for nostalgic cougars,
%240 more HP for me, or to escape older women who never blossomed into cougarhood.

I've come to notice I do like older "girly," cars, miata, old fiats/alfa's, MG, really any roadster or any under powered and underweight car. The new girl cars are a different story, you can keep your pontiac sunfires and sebring convertibles, ick!

 

I don't recall a wink Lamonda

 

get your milf on!

 

lol wow i cant believe i have started likeing a ''girls'' car, hmmm. yep going for a ride in the cut-a$$ now lol and it also gets girls attention too!
