49. My RX-7 history:

First new car I ever bought was an '81 RX-7. Loved that car!
Bought a new Turbo II in the summer of '87. Thought I'd died and gone to heaven!
Bought my VR 3rd gen new in July of '93. I'm about 600 miles short of 100K. Nothing else like it, and I've owned and driven a bunch of other cars over all these years. To me, one of the best looking cars produced in the last 30 years, and easily the best from Japan. Still get a thrill driving it, and just looking at it. The design is absolutely timeless.

Thanks dude, i fit them myself, even made the brackets myself (all i got in the kit were the spots and the covers, had to make everything else myself!)

Actually, i rebuilt my engine and interior myself too.

Not bad for a 20 something eh.

First rotary when I was 20. 8 RX-7s and 1 RX-8 over the years and I've never popped an engine.

Right now I'm holding onto an 84 GSL-SE, 94 (348 rwhp, 302tq), and 04 RX-8 (winter car!!).

Don't care about whipping anyone's *** or teaching anyone a lesson (that's what your parents failed to do), I just like the cars.

31yrs old. I have had a couple of fast cars including a 600hp 4th Gen Camaro and 600hP SVT Lighting (700ft/lbs torque). I decided to get into Autocross so I bought an FD last year. So far I love it.
