I had my beast called a MR-2... UGH!!!! The worst part about it is it came from a MR-2 owner... But of course, it's also been called the typical Porche...

Everyone around here pretty much knows what it is. Most of them even know that is has a rotary in it...now what a rotary IS 4 out of 5 people have NO IDEA. It's weird but NEVER has anyone called it anything but an RX-7 or "The 7". Thank God because I might go crazy

If they dont call my car a 240sx or a 944, its usually "I've never seen a 240sx with a hood scoop...wait a minute that aint a nissan, what the hell is that thing?"

Never had anyone call it something else. Usually they just stare and say something like this (these are ACTUAL things people have said):

"Wow, what IS that?"
"Nice rx7, is it a 1998, 1999?".
"Does that have a rotary?"
"How many turbos"?
"Whats your 1/4 mile time!"
"Holy **** your car is sweet, i think i just busted a nut"
"Damn, does that have a 302 or a 350?"
"How many cylinders?"
"I had a rotary once, it was fast!"
"That doesnt look like any RX7 ive ever seen"
"Oh, Oh! You need NOS!"
"Did you steal those pipes off a semi?" (in reference to my Greddy Dual Power extreme exhaust)
"Dont rotaries rev to....like....13000 rpm??"

Local ricers however only call it one thing...

"Daddy"

Im sure others have had a similar experiences....

Someone once asked my brother if his 89 GXL was a Porsche, and a few months later at the same gas station a guy asked "Isn't that the car from Back to the Future?"

After a race, some redneck in his v-6 chevy said "that there is the fastest civic i've ever seen." I laughed so hard.

I was at the gas station and a guy said "Hey your probe is still running out by the pump (turbo timer)....and it sounds really rough! I showed him my small rotor on the key chain and walked out. I know what was going through his head. "Damn....he takes the keys out and it stays running, what a piece of ****"

I don't know why it's different up here (Ontario,) but when I tell people I drive an RX-7 most say, "That's with the Wankel, right?"

It's interesting that they almost never say, "rotary."

hmmm...

I have been asked if my car was a 2002 model...I just laughed at her and told her it was an '89...then she proceeded to tell me that my car was a piece of crap and that her '00 Prelude with VTec and rear wheel steering was better...

Dumb 17 year old rich bitches!

My brother said something cool though, he looked at my car in the garage head on and said:

"That car looks badass, I would hate to have that pull up behind me!"

I tend to agree


But my car has been casually mistaken as a Chrysler Daytona or a Toyota Supra, Ford Probe, Plymouth Laser, and all other cars with similar body styles.

While waiting outside for my wife at the supermarket I decided to have a look under the hood. While I was poking around the engine some guy came up to the car and said " I didn't know Ponitac made convertible Fieros"
