Two feet and a Hart beat......
I dont want to drive the 7 in the snow and salt; being a poor University student i cant afford another car......oh well. At least i have a fun toy to drive when the weather is nice. I will be attending some lapping days this summer, GOOD TIMES!!!

97 Toyota Tercel with 225000km. Real slow but it's paid for and I get great gas mileage, and is also WAY more reliable than the 7. Since my wife still doesn't want to learn how to drive, I also get to drive the car I bought her last year once a week just to keep it moving, a 95 Mercury Sable.
but i still love my 85' Rx7!! i spent 1 hour and 10minutes on cleaning the inside of it.

They are excellent winter cars, and with the hatchback you can haul damn near anything you want, especially if you take your handy 12mm socket and pull the passenger seat.

My 82 was a daily driver for many years and racked up 180,000 miles and three engines.
Now that it's retired to garage queen, my daily is a '92 Integra GS-R. It's the most rare Integra we've ever had in the states with only about 2000 sold between 92 and 93. There have been about twice as many type-Rs. 160 bhp from 1.7L, it was the highest hp/liter engine ever sold in the US until the 94 Integras came out (rotarys didn't count). The engine is the closest piston pumper in charactor to a rotary that I've ever driven, 8000 rpm redline with the power coming on above 5000 rpm.

83 S for now, I'm gonna try my darndest to get my 83 GS project done by next winter, yes thats right, the car I'm dumping all sorts of time and money into will see winter, lots of them I hope, I love driving my car too much to be stuck driving something else for 4 months of the year. Nothings lasts forever, you could be storing it for nice weather only and get hit by a drunk on the one nice day you take it out, just enjoy them while you can, thats the way I feel anyway. and as peejay correctly pointed out, they kickass in the snow, a good set of winter tires and its unstoppable.
