After seeing all those pictures of the FDs...it has just brought me to this..

What are some of the comments that you FD owners have gotten from others out in the public? Cops?..Strangers?..Etc..

 

Strangers- "Is that turbo'ed?"

Cops (after I tell them I've received previous speeding tickets)- "Well, imagine that!"

 

"Is that thing turbo'ed???" Then I respond "nooooooooo" with my boost gauge, turbo timer, FMIC ,and BOV in plain site (vented hood)!!! lol And they still believe it!!! Idiots......

Cops.... yea all I get are compliments from them and hear about their Supras and cars like that.... Then they ask me how fast I've gone.....!!! I avoid that question to avoid reason for a ticket for no front plate!

 

I always get, "Does it have a V8?"

No snide remarks from the LS1 converts pleas

 

I've got the only FD for a 60 mile radius, so from strangers: "Is that a Miata with a bodykit?" "Is that a custom kit car you built?" "See there, I knew Mazda made a RX7 in 2003 before they put out the RX8 in 2004." <-I like that one by the way...then you tell them it's a 93 and they can't believe it.

From Cops: Well, I am a cop so I get things like: "Let's take it on the highway and let me clock ya!" "Hey, **** the Chief off and let me chase you by his house while he's cutting grass." "You're gonna end up like a frog in a crushed pepsi can." <--Crazy one there. "Are you on the take?" "Who's dope did keep and then sell this time?"

Same ol'B.S. Oh and from one of our fine State Troopers: "If I catch you flying down the road in that thing again, you're gonna get a ticket." My reply: "Before I get that ticket you're gonna have to catch me!"

 

I was at Ace hardware and had my fuel rail in my hand. The cashier finds out that it belongs to my 94 rx7 and proceeds to ask if it was turboed or not. Then he asks "did you drive it here?"-

 

Loving your response. HAHA.

 

Yea, I'm in investigations so I have to have a little fun from time to time to forget about the bullcrap people put themselves through becasue they don't know how to live in a sane way. I hadn't been a ticket writer for three years now and even then I would just pull people over for speeding and write them a ticket for not having their 2 year old strapped in a sealt belt, much less a car seat. I used speed as Probable Cause for pulling people over and finding dope
It's all good.

 

"How do you open the door?"

 

Is that an old Viper?
That's my dream car!
Is it fast?
Does it have a turbo?
I wish I would have kept mine.
Yeah, but I've got a GS-T.
Mine's V-tec!
What does it do in the quarter?
Does it have a rotary?
You should do a body kit.
That's not a turbo, I didn't hear the blow off valve. (mine is still plugged in to the airbox).
Why does it have two radiators?
If it was mine, I'd put dual exhaust on.

 

Most heard? Easy. "What IS that?" Always followed by, "That is really cool looking!"
Next most heard? "Is that got that rotary engine it it?" Or about tied with, "How fast is it?"
Then you usually hear (from some "expert") some "fact" about the car that....isn't, lol!
And of course a car like this gets the performance comparisons: "Yeah, but my Dad's brother's cousin's wife's boss has a Viper and it is faster...."
