Wow. 4k posts. Looks like I have too much time on my hands. I have really enjoyed being here on the forum. I start 90% of my sentences w/ "On the forum there was this guy..." What can I say, I love this community. The RX-7 is a true calssic. Born in the desire to create a well balanced, well powered, great looking automobile. The FC has a special place in my heart. It is small and compact, yet packs a wallop that most people are not ready for. It is visually pleasing, and handles like a car should. Acceleration is brisk, and braking is damn near neck snapping. Cornering, well, is unbeatable in it's class and price bracket. We have somethig very special on our hands. We chose the FC. Many because we wanted to be part of the legacy, but could not afford the FD. Many, because you owned FCs before, and never wanted to move on. SInce I drove home my FC about a year ago, I have found out just what kind of machiene it is. Unreliable, quirky, tempramental. Just like a woman But for some reason, I have a big problem turning away. I see rotors in my dreams (and smell gas as well) I daydream about the day when I have to choose between the TII or the N/A to drive that day. I love the FC, and mostly, it is thanks to you. Fellow FC owners, we are a dying breed. Our cars are aging, and more and more we see them abandoned and lost in junk yards and scrap heaps. We drive a forgotten beast, a lost monster. The FC3S is seen as a lesser car to the awesome FD, but we know, that is not true. We love our cars. We break our checkbooks and our knuckles for them. We fight to keep them alive. We are a dying breed. We appreciate TRUE Japanese power, not some body kit and neon. We understand what it is like to dedicate our selves to car, and we make others scratch their heads and ask "Why?" ANd for all that you have shown me, all that you have helped, all that you have done: Thank you. Thank you Node, and Jason. Thanks HAILERS and Ted. Thanks Unique and Scott. Thanks Aaron and E6KT2. Thanks jspecracer and dre. Thanks Chris and SonicRat. And thanks to all of you I did not mention, because you are all wonderful people. In closing to this long post, have fun, be safe, and keep those rotors spinnin.

 

Well said...

 

Good stuff bro

 

You all are just attention mongers...my 1000th post came and went unnoticed

 

Actually, I beleive the term you are looking for is "Post *****"

 

well, that too, but I wasnt gonna come out and *say* it

 

well said rico. hey speaking of Rex's (hehe go fig) when are you gonna come down to Austin and roll w/ me and peacekeeper gonna have some hella fun once i get my TII back together

 

definate post *****.

 

HEY YOU SILLY BASTARD!!! Where in the hell have you been? I have been tryin to get a hold of you for weeks!! spazz, for sure. I just need to get the TII first

 

I would be right there with you on the 4000 posts but I've been posting on the mx6 forum when I have time since my GF is getting one.

 

Well written. I will have a FD one day and a T2 and a NA and a RX8. I need another job maybe 3. Bygones. Good post Rico.

 

It's all about quality, not quantity

 

Brings a tear to my eye, well not really but it was good.

 

Well put

I would have to agree with what youve said. We are a tightly knit community. THE FC is a rare car, you just dont see them often.

Here's a little trick for ya. If you go to someones profile and click "view all posts by this user", you see all of their posts, including the Lounge posts that don't add to your post count. Rico, yours is actually just over 5000! You are a Lounge post *****!

 

pass some this way

 

congrats i'm getting there. damn i post alot

 

hmm, that's not posts... thats topics! . cause mine is only at 3500. just means I post more then once in some topics so his posts would be well over 5000.

PS you bastard your thread got my replys then mine

 

awww shux.. no prob man

Yeah, a dying breed indeed. But what can I say? I love this damn little car so much there is no way I could part with it. Even 5 years down the line when I'll have an FB, FD, TII, and my current car.. This one will always be the first and most special .

Good post BTW.

 

It says topics but it counts all posts in each thread. Just did mine, it found 2573 "topics" but my post count is only 2529 (I don't post in the loungue much). Did yours and it found less posts than your post count. Weird...

 

ya like I said it's topics. not posts.
for exaple if I posted 2 times in each topic. in 3500 topics. then I'd have 7000 posts. but since I have 4000. it would mean that 3000 of those were in the lounge. in 1500 different topics.

get it?

 

It's not threads (or topics), it's posts. Do the "search for all posts buy this user" and you'll see it finds all posts in a thread, and counts them all. That's why when I checked mine and Rico's it found more posts that our post count says we've made, because Lounge posts aren't added to your official count. I don't know why yours is backwards, like I said, weird...

 

it says TOPICS bitch

 

Next line up:

RX-7 Forum > Search > POST Results!

How else do you explain finding 1000 more "topics" (posts) by Rico than his post count says he's made?

Bitch...
