you refuse to give it up no matter how much it cost to keep it running.

Tell me how bad this is...
My wife told me one night I was talking in my sleep about some parts I needed for my Stage 2 upgrade, lmao. I couldn't believe it when she told me, but after she mentioned a couple of parts, I had to believe it. She's not a car nut, so she wouldn't have known those names (front mount intercooler and a turbine upgrade I believe).
Some people dream of women, I dream of my T2

i took my 20b fc on a 1000mile trip (to ss5) this summer.
i'm pissed at my 91 though, its the first rx7 ive had in 10 years that failed to get me somewhere i needed to be.

I head that. Everytime I peak out in the garage I can't help but smile. the FC is my favorite car and has been since they came out. When I finally had the chance to get a beat up '90 GXL I jumped at the chance. Its been tough keeping it running and happy but when its happy so am I.

I wanna give it more power but I still love it the way it is.

How about:

"Looks forward to mechanical problems to justify upgrades."

or

"putting in a new engine is considered an easy, cost effective, weekend job."

You know when you love your second gen when...

after selling yours for $6k, you drop $8k on replacing it with a nicer one.
