Long time fan
65, Owned two of the very first gen RX7s in 1978 (one to drive, one to sell for a profit) and two second gen convertibles (just bought the 89). Was in the IT and insurance industries for my career, but now helping disabled veterans for Uncle Sam -- because I can (and to keep from going stir crazy).
The 89 is in near new condition but has some curable issues, so thanks in advance for your help.

21. Bought my 89 GXL a few months ago. Currently in school for High Performance Auto, not sure what my "real" job will be yet.
Used to own a GSL-SE a couple years ago, but sold it to a friend. Been around FCs since I was 18 or so. I love my FC!

41... Had it for nearly eight years now.. Still has the same engine I put in it when I bought it.
I remember walking (Rx2 off the road again or loss of license) past a gold one every day, when I was in my twenties, thinking to myself how cool they were and how much I wanted one.
I don't think I'll ever sell it, like my Rx2, 808 and my gen 1 Rx7, I'm too attached.

This is my fourth RX7. Bought my first one in 1978 when they first rolled out. Got the convertible 89 in Sept 2015 at age 65. Porsches hide from me for some reason... I don't know why. Anyne in the SF Bay Area know a good mechanic?
My career has been primarily as a computer jock. Lately I have been helping disabled veterans for Uncle Sam. My latest hobby is practical robotics designs. Have two Tesla Model 3s on order - I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

33 years old and have owned a few. My first one was a 1988 Rx7 SE bought from the original owner with all documents and paperwork. Then a 90 Vert, to another 88 SE, to another 90 Vert after I swore I would never own another convertible rx7, then finally my 1987 that I own now. I am responsible for a few of my friends owning a couple but they didnt catch the fever like I did. One had a 1987 turbo II, a 1990 turbo II, a 1989 I think GTU. a couple first gens, We were all in high school then. This was late 90's early 2000's

24 years old. I've had my FC for two years. Always loved RX-7s, ever since I saw an FD in the Fast and the Furious in theaters. Always chose the RX-7 in video games. Once I saw Initial D, I fell in love with Ryosuke's FC. Once I finally saw an FC in real life, I knew I had to have one.
