Question How many FC's have you had?

Just curious. My fiancee was bitching about how many RX7s I've owned in the past couple years, and it got me thinking. Heres my list, sorry a couple 1st gens slipped in.
88 GXL 2+2 5spd ....sold it
90 GXL 5spd ....sold it
85 GSL-SE 5spd ( 200k+ on origianal motor! ).traded for next car
86 SE 5spd...sold it
86 GXL 5spd..sold it after I put a side draft dellorto on it
83 GSL 5spd ...sold it to another board member CHEAP!
87 TII 5spd ..sold it after it gave up
91 vert 5spd ...current
this is since 96...I've had about 12 other cars sprinkled through there as well. Just the rotor draws me back time and again

Ive owned (not all FCs) in order:

84 GSLSE immaculate with many mods (GF totalled it)
83 GSL very nice, no mods (sold)
82 GSL that was rectored to original quality (sold)
88 GXL wrecked in the front (not by me...sold)
88 TII still own it and have spent ridiculous amounts of
money in the never ending quest for more power!

Ive owned many cars aside from these, but those are the rotaries.

Ive had an 85 GSL sold it because oil seals went bad and car looked terrible. After that I moved to an 88 se that got totalled by a jeep. Then I got my 87 TII. Still got that. Just recently picked up a grey 86 base 2+2 for 100. Needs new engine.

If you can get your hands on a GSLSE, id do that anyday over anyNA FC, save for a GTUs. The fun factor is WAY higher in a GSLSE than an FC.
