haha, A good friend of mine got rid of a pretty quick S4 for an FD. :) I agree though, the S4 is one hell of a car, even if it's a little porky.

And I thought I was sick
 
...but obviously I am normal.

I was thinking about posting the same thing last night...Ha!

I am quite concerned about this whole FD addiction thing. It has even bothered my sleep. Last night I dreamed there was some liquid coming out of my exhaust pipe and I was worried it was anti-freeze. I think I woke up in a cold sweat.....I am not joking here...

Even if I got no where to go, I will slip out to the garage to sit in the car, like some drug user looking for another fix, and I found myself being thankful that the car was actually better than sex, because you could go for a drive anytime. Is that ill?

I think I am going to seek professional help......or maybe sell the FD before she lays down on me....

Your so adicted you'd couldn't sell it. Guy would come by to look at it and have a little stain on his shirt, and you would be like he's not good enough. Evan if you did find someone right for the car you would cry for weeks when it was gone.

It's not an addiction. It's more of an obsession. I'm obsessed too. Heck, my study breaks are what? Coming to the forum...checking ebay for RX7 parts, reading about this or that re: the FD, etc etc. It's well past an established obsession. And to make matters worse, I want another one... LOL

all my extra $$ goes to my FD
car is never dirty
have to look at it everyday
always thinking what I can buy for it

does this qualify me as being addicted

This is classic!:D

I have an obsession with mine too. My wife thinks I'm crazy, my daughter thinks I'm crazy, my neighbor thinks I'm crazy, hell even my dog thinks I'm crazy. I stock up on Meguirres wet wax. You know the one you use between washes.

manny34711 06-24-05 11:54 PM

rofl even your dog thinks your crazy hahaahha

sounds like my friend Aleem, he named his pitbull "boost"

he got it when it was a baby and the dog always revolved around the car. serious that dog has like never missed a project Aleem has done to my car or his and he guards the cars with his life. when ever anyone tries to get near the cars he gets up and wants to kill you. hes is rotary inspired

Wow...you inspire me lol. I'm terrified of having too much pressure from a family, wife, kids, etc in the future, to ditch the FD.

manny34711 06-25-05 02:23 AM

yes im 17 and own an fd. my first car at 15 years of age was an n/a fc. ever since i was a kid my dad's side of the family raced rx2's and shit and ive jut been around rotaries alot. my family got me a bmw 325i for my 16 year old birth day and i just didnt enjoy it as much as i did compared to the fc so i asked them if it was ok to sell the car to get a really nice turbo 2 or a decent fd and get it relieable and work off of it from there or maybe a blown motor and just port one but any way... back to the topic :)

damn, i didnt ask for your life story. I asked about your insurance... lol .. nm i just figured out your prolly under your parents. Im not trying to be an ass. just was curious.. i swear.

twinturborx7pete 06-25-05 02:39 AM

yah definately an obsession...

I always check back as i walk away, i always stare at my FD in my garage, hell I think i look at too many pictures of my cars as it is!

I'm not real bad about the money thing, cuz well i've learned my lessons, but if i had enough money not to care... well i'd have some sick FDs..

haha i was wondering the same thing

Larz 06-25-05 11:26 PM

All of my girlfriends have had a problem with my "other girl". That explains why I'm 24 and not married. You must share me with my car. Small price to pay the way I see it.

jeff p 06-26-05 12:47 AM

Man we all got it bad. No Twelve step program can cure the FD addiction (LOL) .. and yes your check book will suffer.

Mazda99Nikon 06-26-05 11:42 AM

Here's my level of obsession. Some people cry about the way their FD is depreciating in value. I don't care if the value drops to $100. I'll be able to go out and buy more, more, more. Might be nice to have a black one, a red one, a yellow one, a ....
