So....am I the oldest geezer here?
Hi all,
Been noticing that, in general, RX-7 drivers are pretty young. I am 56 and got my 1984 SE new when I was 38. Still drive it and still enjoy working on my cars. How many other older men or women drivers are on the forum?

Create a poll for the first gen section to see the ages. I think someone may have done it, but the age groups were stupid; the first one was like ages 10-21. Not very acurrate.

I'll be 32 in December. I bought my '85 in '91 when I was 20. Sold it 3 years later (stupid..stupid..stupid 
)
I gotta say it's much easier owning an RX-7 now with so much information and colloboration via these forums and the internet in general.

43 here..had my first 7 5 months ago..'gave' it to the repair shop who had kept it for 3 months-kept finding more and more problems trying to fix the carb. They tore up the repair bill and put brakes and idler arm bushings on the GSL I found last month for the title. Works for me!
I love these cars!

I'm 45, so I’d say that puts me squarely into geezerdom. My son picked up an 82 GS a few months ago for his first car. Unfortunately we found it had been sitting since 1997 so it was severely gummed up and needed a lot of little stuff replaced. Since he needed something to drive, not fix, he ended up getting a nice sensible Saturn station wagon and I ended up with the RX7. I've been having a great time resurrecting it and it runs pretty good now thanks to a lot of tips I've picked up lurking here. This is a great forum, thanks for the help!

Well, so far no one has admitted to being older than me. If this thread runs a few more days like this, I think that I should be crowned "King Geezer of the First Gen Forum".
BTW, I intend to keep the 84 SE indefinitely. Changed the oil and filter the other day and noticed some oil leakage in the pan area so need to look at that. Still has the original oil pan gasket so that may be the problem.
