I've been wanting to buy a shell to swap my stuff into since my car is rusty as hell, but my dad thinks every single FC on Earth is in exactly the same shape and is hell bent on bondoing the **** out of this one and calling it done. It's pretty gay.

"What you have here is a glorified Probe." - A Touch of Class Auto Body

 

Excuse them?

 

And the appropriate answer is "And what you have here is a glorified high-school dropout who thinks the ability to change dented fenders on a car means that his opinion and his life have value."

Or merely "Oh I'm sorry, I thought someone here might know something about cars, I'm obviously mistaken, maybe the next body shop on my list will be better"

 

Funny:
My Wife...."we Are Going To Get Kick Out Of The Neighborhood That F...ing Is Too Loud For You Be Driving It At 4:45 In The Morning."

 

I hope you got her number

 

hahahaha that is a plus man

 

My personal favorite...


"Do you smell gasoline?"

 

I just always get the whole.

"Who turned on the leaf blower?"

 

My old auto tech teacher used to call my 7 the "airplane" because they used to put rotary's in planes before because of their good hp/weight ratio.

 

Also boats.

 

and motorcycles and i think either snowmobiles or lawn mowers

 

i was at a bar speaking to a guy that really isnt my friend just someone i know,nut he was there giving me the whole more engine cubic inches the better, and when he asked how many pistons it had i said none and he asked how, well his friend (which i dont know) said "its basicly all valves"
i just wanted to smake him and say what valves
:sign: what do you say to idots?

 

I was at the gas station about 3 or 4 days ago filling up on gas. I was putting the oil in my tank when out of nowhere, I see a hand grab the oil container and the guy that grabbed it, pulled it out of my tank and threw it across the gas station lot. He then continued to tell me that putting oil in my gas tank is going to kill my car.

I guess its not that bad of a first experience at a gas station premixing.

 

^ Did you make him buy you more?

 

Well, after I explained to him why I was premixing, he apologized, gave me 5$ and went on his way.

Didn't even have to explain to him what a rotary was, just that I had to premix because of a bad oil metering pump.

Some people down here actually understand rotarys, I think its nice that I don't get the blatant retard questions... Although the 100's of honks and thumbs up's every day does start to get annoying... It's not that rare of a car...

 

In a fc? That's not happening.

 

you would be surprised...as long as people dont see my passenger side i get all sorts of good stuff about the car

ive had people yell out there cars, thumbs up..all sorts of crap

 

Yea. I used to get stares aaaaall day in my bone stock white 91 coupe. People in cars and on the sidewalk. Everybody seemed to be confused. even before the loud *** exhaust setup. i remember like the third day i owned it i was gettin some bk going through the drive through and one of the kids who worked there on break was smoking a toge outside. he just stops and bends down towards the driver side window.

"holy ****! uhh.... is that an Rx-7??"

I was like yeaaa.....and then just quietly laughed to myself as i drove up to the window

he was lookin at it like it was such a rare car

 

at a gas station today.
"nice Daytona"
wanted to punch that guy in the face after that, not because he called my car a Dodge Daytona, jus because he looked and sounded like an *******... and drove an Exige

 

Yeah I get a honk occasionally, a LOT of stares from the young HS guys as I drive by the places they hang out, and my DD 7 is a piece of crap, when my GXL is done it will be like looking at ugly betty and carmen electra.

 

my car looks like it has bullet holes running down the passenger side

 

You and your 'teacher' are confused. The WANKEL rotary in your car and the 'rotary' in the airplanes he is speaking of are two entirely different things. The aeronautical rotary he is thinking of is actually a piston engine with the cylinders placed in a circular configuration on a common crank. That is NOT the same thing...

 

no they actually used rotary engines in planes....they found that there better because theres alot less vibration and if the engine blows you can still land the plane because a rotor blowing is never horrible to anything but itself

 

Yes, they HAVE used wankel rotaries in planes before, but it's not common compared to what most people imagine when they think of airplanes and rotary engines. Go ask some random person off the street...it'll prove my point.
