I have had few problems and have never considered buying my car a mistake.

I think it was definitely worth it, and it hasn't given me anywhere near the problems people said it would, 5 years later.
Then again, the constant gold digging skank that doesn't realize my car is 10 years old, and I'm a broke dick, does get a little old.

I have a love hate relationship with my FD. I have been towed more times over the past 2 1/2 years than most people have in a lifetime. Everytime It get's me down I think of all the good times wev'e had together. All I have to do is get back in that driver's seat and realize how it's all worth it.

I was warned, mostly by my miata friend, and I still went ahead, and bought it anyhow, and allthough I've got 4X the amount of money in My FD (With Rerbuild)(After Purchase) I'll also have about 2X the HP... 
He's at 187 with 8 Psi. and I'm going to be pushing 400 @ 14 psi...
He still teases me on how much I've spent, but then I tease him for buing a clown car

Going on 6 years.
This is by far the BEST toy I've ever had.
It's also the longest relationship I've ever had

i may not be the best example since ive only had mine a month but i paid 10k for a 93 r1 with 85k miles and it got its share of problems(probably gonna end up costing around 2 grand to get everything running right) but i dont care how much it costs it will be worth it once i get it all worked out.

I've had mine for over 3 years and haven't spent hardly ANY money on it. It needs a new exhaust, so far that has been the only problem (since I was able to fix my leaking 'O' ring with block sealer).
Is it worth it?
Is ***** good?
Seriously, these cars evoke an incredible feeling. I can be is a pissy *** mood and all I have to do is go LOOK at my car, let alone take it for a spin to be happy as a clam, and to feel very privileged to own one.

Ive owned some, sold some, wrecked one, parted some, still own 2, and plan on keeping one always
These cars have given me more pleasure than I could put into words so I won't even try.
I regret buying my fd about as much as I regret drawing air into my lungs.

Preach on brother!! I honestly dont know how to explain the feeling of driving one, you just kinda have to be there and witness it in person to describe the feeling.I truely am lucky to own such a car.
3 years and going strong
I have had mine for 3 years. I knew what I was getting into. So far 68K on the original engine. Did all the reliability mods when I bought her stock. So far no problems. I plan on adding a PFS intercooler and replace all the vaccuum lines this winter.
I don't regret it. I don't think I could have had this much fun on what I have spent so far.

I've lusted for one since the day I test drove one in 93 like a 16 year old boy lusts for *****.
I Finally got one this year and I wish I had just bought it in 93 and not had to suffer the other mediocre cars I owned in those ten years - 88 RX7 GTU, 88 TII/vert conversion, 95 BMW 325is...
Had I bought it in 93, I would have saved so much money from depreciation, repairing, upgrading and modding those other cars that I never planned on keeping anyway. Sometimes the sensible choice is proven wrong over time.
You know what I still lust for ***** like I did when I was 16, but now I have both
