Stupid/Funny/Random things said about the FC
went into napa about a week ago to try and find an adapter to put my temp gauge on and the guy said oh yeah? "i had the 4cylinder one, with the turbo charger. went like hell!"
i mentioned i had a parts car and he sounded interested. sounds like an easy way to make some $$$$!!!

I was visiting a friend in Idaho and we were at a hang out at her place... played a drinking game, and "categories" came up... "engine bay components"
When I said "rotor" everyone started like "WAIT WAIT WAIT NO! WRONG!" and then I tried to tell them about the rotary engine and I was like "no no, rotary just means a different type of combustion engine"....
"...yes, one without pistons though."
I thought it was funny at least. lol
Especially since we had already been drinking for an hour. ha

The wife and I:
She's in the passenger seat, I'm pumping gas. Big *** truck pulls up with a mom and her son (maybe 12yo).
He looks at my car and says "Whoa, a gxl, a nissan gxl". I looked at him and said "what did you say?" he said "a nissan right?" I said "no, a mazda, rx7, it's even better".

Parts guys are idiots. A guy an autozonoe that always seemed decently knowledgeable all the previous times I've been there, seen my car and stated he had one. Said it was a hardtop turbo, but all stock, and the stock intercooler was behind the firewall. Then asked me if my hood scop was active(after he just claimed he had a stock turbo one). Said he bought it new(dudes like 30 yrs old) and told how he drives it all the time but had no answer when I asked why he doesn't drive it to work. I hate ignorant fucktards...

Unless you're obviously clueless about what car you have, what is on it, and how it works... they should not be THAT dumb.

Bit of a long story:
A couple of summers back I was driving my 90 N/A around town at about 1 AM. I was driving down a sketchy back road when I came across of bunch of idiots partying it up in the middle of the street. I slowed down as I approached, and no one moved. Then a few guys started walking towards my car, yelling at me to "get out now". Needless to say, I put it in reverse, spun it around, and spun it in first gear, shifted at 8k, took off in second, shifted at 8k again.
My car had a corksport exhaust that liked to pop flames and make a very loud "pop" noise when shifting over around 6k.
So i just drove home, on the way I called the police non-emergency number to let them know that there was a party going on that was blocking the street, being the good citizen that I am haha.
Fast forward to three hours later at 4 am, I wake up to my mom shaking me awake going "there's a cop at the door saying he wants to talk to you! what did you do???!!!???"
So I go to the front door, and I'm standing there in just my boxers barely awake talking to a cop
cop: are you the one who reported the party on Bole Ave at 1 am?
me: yeah, that was me
cop: ok, well i'm wondering if you heard any gunfire around that time
me: nope, definitely didn't hear any guns
cop: hmmm, well we had reports of loud gun-like noises around the same time that you reported the party, and in the same area
me: ohhhhhhhhhh. that was probably my car (point to it parked out on the street)
cop: your car??? what do you mean
me: weeellll, it's kinda loud
cop: ah, i see. well thank you for your time. I'll let you go back to sleep now
Was quite the interesting experience haha

The guys at work are making fun of me and the flux capacitor all the time.
But since I got my RX7 they are talking about the Wankel engine and how our parking house
smells like gas when I roll up.
Lol I remember the poor guy behind me in his MX5 when we were waiting at the security gate
(i work at an airport) to get in.
My 13B had the old plugs and is running rich ...
"Man, your car smells like gas its unbelievable ..." funny
One thing I love too is my rear washer nozzle, PO set it that it sprays in the air and
not at the window.
So when I got some people stop too close to my tail, they will get antifreeze for free

Maybe, haha. More likely his opinion is so biased that absolutely nothing besides what he feels is awesome, is. It blows my mind how people can be so stubborn about everything. I feel life is so much more enjoyable when can you can appreciate awesomeness in everything. Especially digitalsolos ****** car. His setup almost convinced me to go ls1, in fact ****, I wish I would've, now I just have a non-running fc.... aaaaahhhh!!! ****** rotaries 
Hehe, I actually have a DeLorean in my garage sitting waiting for reassembly

heres one for ya
I'm leaving the race track as they had a STI vs. Evo day so I felt the need for speed in my blood but being that I had my friend with me I wasn't gonna go crazy.
A 90s maxima is tail gateing me real hard "wtf" so I brake check him, he slows down. We get to the light side by side, he revs his motor (with no cat in it by the way it sounded) and pointed straight ahead, I said "highway only and I'm going right". So he trys to burn out gets grip and crosses the line almost hitting a car.
Then a honda civic does the exact same thing as the maxima on the street I made a turn on, lucky I had a passenger in the car or I would have stomped them. Sheez New Jersey ricers, its pathetic

my buddy was following me to the race track over the summer. he had to follow me because my car wasnt technically legal.. anyway. when we got there he asked about my fuel economy and then stated that he is sure he got 10mpg better just by following me since his car was sucking in all my exhaust fumes.

Some guy walks up to me while im working on my rx7 at my dads shop and he says "how many pistons that thing got, it looks weird." i say none its a rotary he says while shaking his head "oh yeah" 5 minutes later same guy walks back "how many pistons did you say that has?" completely confused i reply none it uses 2 rotors! he says "what is that some kind of hybrid motor" so i gave up and said sure why not!
That same guy still comes back to my dads shop utterly confused as to how many pistons rx7s have lmao!
