2. Way to many accidents with these cars . so put the 2 together and see what you you get.
Well i hope in time a new car scene will pick up so these cars can go to the dudes that have been driven them for years and not kids to young to be driven a sports car.And just driven them to jump on the band wagon. Oh well i can wait another year or so.
How are you complaning? Fc's in the states are dirt cheap. Up here in canada I got a good deal for $5k a mint 87 t2 with 124k km's. I could probly turn around and sell it for $6k-$7k. T2's are pricy up here. I've noticed in the states t2's go for like $3k-$5k. Clearly by the pictures provided in this thread, fc's price should be upped because we are going on EXTINCTION!!!

Take a look at Australia's prices. A junkyard RX goes for like 5k there. It's horrible. RX7's are definately going extinct, that's why I need as many as possible.

Yes, I'm fully aware that my wreck was my fault and I claim it as stupidity and an ACCIDENT. You know, sometimes when little **** happens, it shocks you and you freeze up and can't get yourself out of it.
Haha ya need to spell check next time. Oh and when i take that English course it would not hurt for you to take a driven class. . Well i never said all young people i am only 24 so i am not to old myself but i have been into rx7's for about 6 years now. As prices in Canada go that is true to a point you can get rhd fc's for around 5k and drive it legally i would take that over what we have any day. But like i said i will just have to wait.

I see a bent unibody...... and a penny-loafer! And bent rear suspension.


I totally would have gone and kicked in that Mustang's rear quarter in. Just because I hate Mustangs and a Ford brand vehicle fucked my RX7.

Sorry, if Jews = Ford (especially Mustangs) then I = Hitler.

That other thread the guy was looking for wreck pictures made me look for this thread...

Anyone got a pic of that black FC (*** end) sticking out of the building?
It happened in NorCal (Rocklin?) back in 2001 - 2002.
I was living up there when it happened, and it was all over the news.
It was either a Turbo II or GTUs, cause it had those mesh 16" wheels.
Sad...

Anyways, the thread reminded me of a mean FC wreck that happened locally here in Hawaii.
The news didn't even have a clue what kinda car it was, but I did a double-take when I saw the pics on the front page of the newspaper.
I managed to find one pic...
Yes, the driver died.
Some teenage(?) kid that was speeding...

Got a little cocky in the mountain roads by my house. My friend was in the car with me at the time and I felt worse about being stupid and possibly injuring him than I did totaling my car. I have since made peace with him and the mountain road.

We pretty much lived on a mountain pass. I thought I knew the road well, but I was used to driving it in a raised toyota pickup, not an RX-7. The handling was far superior to the truck (for obvious reasons), but I overestimated it's ability. After getting used to the way the car handled I've since taken the same corner at the same speed as when I crashed and done fine. That's not to say that I didn't take it well below the speed limit for a few months.

I've since learned my lesson. I do some spirited driving here and there, but not "ZOMG WE'RE GONNA DIE" kinda driving that ended that RX-7.

Here's an idea of the roads around my old house. That fog at the bottom is the bay area.

This is all the more reason for all of us to buy as many RX-7s as possible. So **** like THAT won't happen! LOL
