FD3S - How addicted are you?
 

This car is like a drug to me. Seriously. When im just sitting around I ALWAYS have to be doing something with it. Even if its just sitting outsite with a rag wiping off finger prints, or detailing the inside.. Hell even just sitting in the driver seat and losing myself... I seriously think i need help... Even when im not working on it. or detailing it. or just fucking stairing at it, im on ebay looking for parts, Or on one of my many bookmarked sites looking for good deals. Shit man i even balance my checkbook around buying parts for it! :redface: Is anyone else like this? As infatuated with their FD as i am? Maybe we can start a Support Group!! :bigthumb:


So explain what you do with your 7 when your not driving it or fixing a problem with it.


So be warned new FD owners! YOU WILL BE SUCKED INTO THIS HOLE!!!

happens with every car i own

i know exactly what you mean.

i love driving my 7; its like we become one entitiy and no doubt its at the top of my list for the ultimate rush. mind you, i dont beat the car, but i do run her hard occasionally. my girlfriends usual comment is: youre always out there petting your black bitch. to which i reply: she doesnt bitch at me or complain, shes beautiful with sleek sexy curves, and shes like a screaming banshee when i want her to perform. in the long run the 7 is probably a lot cheaper than maintaining a gf.

then again, perhaps we just have too much time on our hands.

i know the feeling, but my love is my t2. Ill go outside to work on it, even if nothing is wrong with it. For instance im installing an electric fan just because i get bored (just moved into my new appt, and my tv and stuff hasnt arrived yet)

i've had the car now for 5 years and i still can't seem to get enough of her. I hardly drive the FD now as my office is like less than 3 miles down the road so i've started taking things off and reenforcing them ie poor man carbon fibre LOL. Got the undertray sitting outside waiting for me to work on it over the weekend. WHich reminds me, i got to pick up a crate of beer on me way home today!!

Haha, my car is down right now and everytime i walk into the house through the garage i stare at it and think, "i'm so lucky to own this car" :D WTF is wrong with me?!

I fixed the main problem with my FD... Sat for 2 years since that main problem occured...

Lemme guess...the motor swap? [offtopic] Still haven't seen you out around here...whatcha waiting for? [/offtopic]

First time I saw it, it took me 5 days to buy it. It was definitely lust turned into love. Most fun car I've ever owned and I seriously doubt there will be anything that can top it.

yeah, instead of leaving through the front door, i leave thru the garage just to look at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol... funny thread, but oh so true :)

We're all addicted, some of us just won't admit it. I'll admit I am though! When I'm not driving it, I am detailing both outside and in. Not really modding it though, just meticulous routing maintenance. Plus, I make sure it never sees rain... and it's never parked near ANY other car. After every drive, she gets detail sprayed if there are any bugs. She gets dusted before and after every drive as well. Plus, I think I have taken over 500 pictures of her in the last year.

I need help!!! :)

Everytime I leave it in a public parking lot, as Im walking away, I look back and say to myself "fuck yea!" with a big smile :bigthumb:

Um.. It's a nice car and all - but the obsession thing is just crazy.

To be quite honest, the car gets on my nerves just as much as it gratifies..

Yea, I'm with you jd......I do love it, but its caused me to age prematurely......

I'm addicted to FDs and I ramble about it. FD is the best looking, handling, braking, and overall best performing car I've owned. Very easy to upgrade and tune. I've driven a number of different cars. Only the Audi S4 comes close to it. And, I really like my Corrado overall, but the FD blows it away.

LOL

:)

haha i used to be the same way man!!! and i still am however i grew out of it...

i guess cause im trying to bring another love in my life..*cough cough viper cough cough * :)

but i still ocassionally search ebay or this forum for deals on things i was gonna get or have gotten already but need them again..if not, then im always cleaning my car or just looking at it..or ill make an excuse for me to drive it like putting 5 dollars gas or to buy lottery tickets!! hahaha

Every pay check i get, i think i have enough for this but i wount have enough for food. Then i figure out how i can scrape by on the food i have in the house. I park 5 miles from where i'm going so no one parks near me. When i'm at work i go out and check on him to make sure its still there. Its a sickness we all need serious help

IM THE SAME WAY!!! like if im at the mall or something with my gf and were walking away.... i turn my neck and just stare the car as we walk away from it as if it was some beautiful super model or something and i always hear a smart-ass remake from her like "you love her more than you love me" or something like that but yeah im totally addicted to the beast. ever since my cousin introduced me to his fd back in 1994 i just fell in love with them and didnt get mine till december 22 2004. i had an n/a fc for my first car and it was really fun to drive too but just nothing like the fd. i spend at least 3-4 hours every saturday just cleaning the beast. i take longer ways home just to drive it longer. gas money dont matter to me well sometimes. i come through my garage rather than the front door just to look at it. i dont run yellowl ights, i jut want to stop so when people pull up beside me i want to show off my pride.

i love my fd

Amen brother.. My Girl is the same way and say's the SAME SHIT! :rlaugh:

yeah. she loves me. we talk, we go places together. i buy her things. she teases me. hell, she even lets me ride her. she has this thing, i dont know what it is about her, but she turns me on and excites me like no othe woman can or ever will. there is just something about her; when she purs, when she growls, when she even screams. she drives me crazy. and i love her.

i <3 you Roxxx7

lol, thats in my aim info.

i just put that on my aim info too, thx!

WOW! I thought it was only me. I can't walk away from her without looking back a couple of times. My EX-wife always said, you love that car more than me. She gave me a ultimatium, the car or me. That's one of the many reasons she is my EX.

Oh so true!

rx-7 is a hell of a drug
