Eight Years of Owning an FD and I Still Feel the Rush
it's been eight years, almost to the day....heart-breaking at times, yes, but so many great memories with this car, and they just keep coming...the timeless aesthetics (in my book at least), the whiplash 2 stroke power delivery, the chainsaw on crack obnoxious noise, flame throwing exhaust....I love it all....amidst a sea of noobs who trash these wonderful cars and well intentioned hacks who throw in the towel and shoehorn a camaro engine into it, there are few of us purists who will "go against the grain until the end" (to quote James Hetfield)

JIC that's a shame but I found the solution to that problem. Own several and you'll never go a day without feeling the RUSH. Seriously when I was on my honeymoon back in 2000 for 10 days I didn't miss anything about being home except driving an FD.....well I missed my dog a little bit
During the past 5 years or so I've probably driven an FD on the track more than most folks drive it on the street and to top that off I'm always daily driving them. **** I'm buying another one
What's really messed up is I have 2 good ones right now and I'm buying a 3rd. What's even scarier is that's a low number for me. I've had SEVEN running 7s at one time before. I guess you could say I'm REALLY addicted to the RUSH

I guess you could say I'm REALLY addicted to the RUSH if you didn't own so many FDs, where would any of us buy used parts at such great prices?
