42 industrial control tech for a nuclear plant. Had a FC since I was at least 20. Had 86NA then a TII 10th ae and a 1989 Turbo. Hit a moose with the 88, sold the 89, and kept the
10th AE. Could have a Porsche GT3 for what I have in the AE. Always wanted an FD but figure a different toy would be nice.

I'm 25, I'm an apprentice aircraft maintenance engineer, hoping to go for my ticket next month. I've had 3 RX's, a GSL-SE as my second car when I was 17, and fell in love with rotaries, I then had a 86' GXL, and after I graduated aircraft maintenance school I got another.

20 and got my 88 vert when I was 16 from after doing a bit of work for a customer. Automotive electrician and programmer. Never thought I would ever leave the FC game till I sold the vert for a beat up FD

Always loved the FC and I would get one again if it was entirely possible as I still have a CRAP ton of parts

My old man on the other hand, is 58 and still has his favourite FC that he shipped down to the caribbean. Do not tell him he is old! You just might not hear the end of it!

28 - Roboticist and Systems Integrator. I used to have no money and plenty of time to work on my car, now it's the opposite - money sitting around the house and no time to put it together.

Love what I do - just wished I had more RX7 time.

I feel you on this one bud! Had to save like crazy when I was younger just to put gas in the thing and had all the time in the world. Now, I'm more stable but have no time to do as much as I would like!
