I don't know if this counts, but people always:

-roll up their windows driving behind me
-pull up next to me and do a stinky gesture, suggesting that my car does indeed, stink

Almost EVERYDAY, my neighbor asks if my car is running. It doesnt matter if he just saw me pull up, or if THE CAR IS ACTUALLY RUNNING!

Sometimes he'll come over and say, how can that little thing make good power, I don't think it's making all that much power. It can't be. How can you beat a a corvette... blah blah blah... (He's an old V8 + NOS guy).

Then he'll inevitable come up with some story about a Camaro he build an blew the rear end off with a 100 shot of NOS

Yano, I see alot of people hating on 240s on here.
I have an FC and a 240, and ive got to tell ya, I like the hell out of my 240, and I drive it daily. Never had a problem with it (i Bo Duke the hell out of it too). The aftermarket is cheap as hell and the car will take a beating. Now before u get all worked up, I like my 240, but i love my rx-7. 240 is a great, fun commuter, but the fc is a serious track killer. Course Im swapping the rotary which did blow up( c'mon it was a grass roots track car) for a small block V8, now u can get pissed.

Someone tried to steal my neighbors dog on sunday and the cop that came to write up a statement told me it takes alot of elbow grease to get my T2 like it is. I thought it was hilarious because it was extremely dirty and legal(cough cough). I think he was reffering to my wheels though because I was resurfacing my lip on my new wheels outside.

You don't love your RX-7, you love the body style. Don't bother to convince us otherwise. People who love RX-7's don't drop V8's in them. I'm not going to argue why its such a ridiculous idea, but to say you love the car and then ditch what makes it what it is, is absurd.

we were having this big competition in the auto department at the technical college where all the classes got together and i was sittin in the front and this kid behind me goes "ive seen this rx7 drivin around the parkin lot before it looks really clean but i hate that they have wankel engines i mean i bet they could be so much more powerful with a v6"

i just turn around and pretty much glare at him and then he realizes that im the only person in the entire school that drives an rx7 haha

i reply "a v6.. honestly kid, you might as well go get your accord right now and drive it off a cliff, my 2 rotors would completely smash on your little honda so if you dont know how much power a rotary engine can put out, please do me a favor and dont talk **** about them"

he kindly went and sat on the other side of the room for the rest of the class and one of the teachers there who used to work for mazda when FD's just came out just started laughing haha gotta say it made my day

Honda kid just now across the street asked what was wrong with my car..

Kid: Are your rods knocking?"
Me: No. I blew out my coolant seals
Kid: Oh. In the head right?
Me: Yeah. Sure.

Explaining how a rotary works to a ricer is like racing a honda, what's the point?

This past week I was having a conversation about the car. After opening up the hood and explaining some of it, the other person made a comment such as "Yeah, Google is great, isn't it?". Took me a few seconds to figure out what he meant, by which time I had already said "Not sure what you mean". He replied with "You can look up how to do anything on Google, like this stuff". I replied "No one does it like this, you can't find any information on Google". Then I thought for a second and added "Actually, you can find all of this on Google...because I put it there!".

when i first got my car i was driving to work with a small exhaust leak. When another FC pulls up next to me and asks me what kind of turbo Im running? I thought it was funny as it was a bone stock 4lug!!!
Then for the heck of it Ill call up a machine shop and ask how much they charge to do the heads on my car. I got: Its easier to get another 4 cylinder or six if i want to upgrade it because the heads on these cars are sealed.
One guy once counted 4 cylinders under my hood.
I got the stink signal from a riced out civic after I beat him.
I have a parking ticket with FRARI as the make.

I went to fill up my T2, I pull into the station and there is this red Mitsu 3000gt ls with lambo doors, green street glow, and some f&f graphics. As hes leaving he yells "nice car, ricer" i started cracking up. the older lady at the pump behind me looked at me and said, "your cars not rice, im haveing that for dinner. what was he talking about?" I told her I didnt know and I thought it was hilarious. That dumb kid made my day.

I got a great one! I was kind of sketched out about buying my car. It was on craigs list and it said " 4 cylinder rx7 great on gas" I had to look at it though because it only had 60k. But it ended up being a sweet deal!

I ran down the track after running a 20.2 cuz my coolent buzzer went off. and i was immediatly followed by the track clean up guy.
He pulled over next to where i parked and said "hey u, u need a head gasket, and
your not allowed to run again."
i told him it was a rotary.
he said "i dont care what you call it, it needs a head gasket. u sprayed coolent all over the track."
i didnt feel like explaining to him so i pointed to the engine and said "no pistons = no head gasket." then i paused to enjoy his confusion as he looks at my engine.
"oh ok, my buddy has the six cylinder version of that car so i figured it was the same thing.....just stay off the track and enjoy the rest of your day." he drove away.
