Mods need to lock this thread so it doesn't keep coming back up.

But anyway, I don't believe I ever posted in this thread. I'm currently 19, so that would have put me at 17 when i got my 7. I drive a 97 Thunderbird with 4.6L V8. It keeps me happy, at least untill I get my 7 back on the road, which should be next spring.

19 going on 20. Second Rx7. First one my dad bought to resell 86' FD didn't want to sell to me (He got it for $300 it was only flooded, ran like a champ).

Second is a '83 GSL I bought just because I felt that connection we all feel with our rotary rockets (Paid $402 needed a battery but I drove it home).

I love these cars

Four hour delay waiting for my flight, so spent the time looking at back threads.

Out of interest looked at the age of gen 1 owners and came up with the following statistics:-

19 and under 19%
20-29 48%
30-39 21%
40-49 9%
50-59 2%
60-69 .7%
70+ .3%

Average age of owner 25.8 years, average of car 22.5 years.
