I've had my FD ~6 mos and I continue to be amazed at the number of comments I get on the car. I am not exaggerating when I say that someone wants to talk to me about the car almost every single day.
Everybody has a story about the first time they saw one etc etc. It's really flattering and am wondering if others experience the same? I know that the area in which I live I sparingly see another FD. I might see on or two in a year on the street if I'm lucky so I'm sure the rareness of it contributes to all the comments. Gotta love it though.. near 20 year old car that people still drool over. I really do think that the rx7, 300z, supra and to some degree the 3000gt are destined to become highly sought after collector cars the older they get. The 90's generation of these cars was Japan's automakers going all out to one up Porsche, Corvettes and one another. Awesome stuff!

it seems that these cars are getting more scarce as the years go by. That is exactly why I am firm believer that the cars will be a collectible one day. But it doesn’t really matter to me as I’m never giving up my car anyway.

Yep, continual comments. I get the occasional, "how much did you pay for it?", which is pretty annoying. In the world of disposable everything, most people buy their power without taking true ownership..... I enjoy telling I do all my own work. Especially when I pop the hood.

I seem to get all the questions when I'm driving around, never when stopped. It's scared me a couple times when I'm minding my own business driving along then out of nowhere, "WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT!!?!"
There is something nice about being apart of something that very few people ever will.

LOL nice thread.
I can't wait for my FD to be finished, so I can recall the feeling of being gawked at.
There's something about the feeling of KNOWING everyone is staring at your car that just makes me happy. Nothing like it..
And it's even better with an FD, because it's such a rare car, that you get the people who KNOW what it is staring at it, and then you get the people who DON'T know staring at it just trying to figure out what it is.
Ah, the excitement of getting my FD back is killing me! lol

I had an rx8 for 4 years before I traded it in for an rx8. I can assure you that is essentially spot on...
I only saw an FD driving around one time in the four years, while I was passing through St. Louis there was a clean montego blue on the freeway. I literally stared at it for 30 minutes worth of traffic before he exited. God, I love the FD.

LOL @ ^^^^
My wife hates me just being outside wiping down my DD....I fear for when I get the FD completed and out here.
She has right to be angry though, because every single visit home to Georgia on leave has been 90% consumed by working on the FD at the shop....all day....almost every day.
lol
Hopefully once she rides in it again, I'll get that same "ZOMGAH BABEH I WANTZ TEH SECKZ IN YO CAR RIGHT NOW!" and I'll use that to justify all the time/money I've put/continue to put into it. ^.^
