Age? Occupation?...

Hey whats up people?
I bumped into this forum by accident when i was looking for some rx-7 pics. I dont really have any business here since i dont own an RX-7 or even a japanese car. Its my dream thou, to buy an RX-7. I still registered and wished to make only one post, cuz i wanted to ask how old you people are, what jobs you have, when did you acquire your RX-7, and how much it costed you? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thx

I feel like an old man here.

37 years old, software engineer, bought mine new from the dealer in '94, $36K.

I'm old enough to have driven a 1st gen RX-7 when it still had the new car smell, back in '84.

Got my 7 3 years ago with 50k miles for 16k. Before anyone says anything, I did pay for it myself.
