Bought my FD in 97 with money made off the stock market. Matty, I guess you could say I was involved in the stock market for awhile

21, operations supervisor for yellow transportation. I basically get to tell a bunch of teamsters what to do.
I bought my white '94 auto touring about 3 months ago with 51400 miles and paid $11,400. It had the pettit TKT base upgrade package + a pettit 3" downpipe. And here we are, 3 months after I got it and I pick it up from pettit tomorrow. The water o-ring seals suffered a catastrophic failure 3 days after I bought the car. There goes another 7 thousand dollars down the hole.

Damn, so many f*cking gearheads. Must be something about that eccentric motion of the rotor in these engines.

Bought 93 Touring in 1995 for $20K and sunk about $20K in mods over the years. Still cheaper than a used Boxster.

(3) bought rx7 in 1994 to celebrate my new company's first profits - paid $25k cash ('93 had been wrecked before but repaired)


Never modded the car until May 2002 when the engine finally went. Since then have dumped $30k+ in it, including wrecking it and restarting with another frame.
