She only complains when I don't pay enough attention (**** breaks) or I push her too hard (redline buzzer). But the best part is we're drivin' it like it's goin' out of style, and the novelty never wears off!
And the best part... she *loves* flashin' her *** in the face of ricers like "you want this, but you can't have this!" as she leaves 'em in the dust! DE-NIED!

I like mine a little less everytime the price of fuel goes up.... Fuel efficency is a real problem as this is far from a new car EPA MPG ratings go when it comes to running errands around the metro area. Most cars don't have such a dramatic difference between city and highway with these cars evidently. I'm sure a V8 Swap would clear that up if driven sensably... But the turbo 12a is pretty damn fun...

I love my FB. I've had mine for over 10 years and just can't stop loving it. Never had any real problems with it and for a time it was my daily driver. There have been a few occasions that I had the thought of selling it but when it comes down to it I just can't do it.
I have had a thing for these cars since I was a kid and I never thought taht I would own one. I searched for years for the right one and to this day it still stops me in my tracks when I see it. The last couple of years I have not had much of a chance to drive it, job, life, gf's have all stole some time away from the 7. But when I do drive it, I still get a thrill!
It's a pure, honest, kick *** fun car, it's my tharapy.

I love mine
a lot
some times i just bring up a chair and a soda and just stare at it, imagining all the plans i have for it, and my imaginary conversations with ricers after i totally own them.

thanks,
it wasn't always like that though. It took a lot of work to get it like it is now. here's some before pics (it was actually worse than what it looks like....mmmm....hidden rust )

There's no car out on the market that can quite compete with the affordability,mod-ability and ease of first and even second gens. Third gens get tricky, but there's nothing like that ROTARY engine to clear your head after a hard days work.
Good luck on ur projects everyone. Hope to see more FB's running.
