How Many Father/Son FD owners
 

I'm at work and just wondering. I've got one and my father has one....anyone else?

Me and my father own matching FD, or at least before i painted mine

Well we don't both own one, but the one I drive has been our project ever since it was purchased. We both do stuff to the car and both enjoy driving it. Of course, he calls it mine, but whatever.

My father co-signed for my first FD, that was back in the 90's though, he used to think it was his because of that. It was sort of a, I have to pay for it, but its half mine half his, type of thing. Now I own my own and he can no longer bitch, oh well, he has an 03 ZO6 now, I wouldn't want to drive my car either.

"Fatman0203" and "GoodfellaFD3S", IIRC.

My dad won't buy one...he has a ferrari and hates the FD...says its a piece of shit. However, I do more work on his car then mine. go figure.

I had my dad really close to buying the white FD from Austin a few months ago (cleanest white FD ever). He has also looked at another Montego Blue, but I wasn't so crazy about that...

DIdn't want pops to be like you right???

I remember that car. It had a RB exhaust, mesh (Volk?) wheels, amongst MANY other things, and the guy was asking something like $25K for it? And yes, it was the cleanest white FD I'd ever seen (next to mine no less!). Do you know what ever happened to it? I had his web page bookmarked but now its down. Did the car sell and to whom?

Well I've owned an FD for about 3 years now and my dad bought an n/a FC back in '96 which he sold to my brother. My brother and dad don't really like to work on cars, or put much money into them so I doubt either of them would ever own an FD.

My wife bought me mine does that count?

Not anymore, trying to sell , I guess he wasnt really into it.
:D

My dad is the only one driving my FD right now while I'm in college. Does that count
?

LoL you guys are crazy...

I would dig a father son combo thing, but dad hates rotarys about as much as JimLab does so count that out.

My son and I had FD's before last week. We sold his. Payment and college got the best of him. We had a great time going to track days and de events. But allas I have a first gen race car.;) So we can still do track days togeather.:)

I had him down to $23K and could've probably gotten my dad to pay $21.5K. The pictures are no longer up on his site, but the car was absolutely immaculate. The wheels were SSR Professors. The car actually sold to some guy in CANADA! The car went from TEXAS to CANADA. :eek: Talk about a change in climate!

Anyways, my dad is now set on getting a LeMans Blue C6, so I'm not heart broken.

my dad wishes he had one, does that count.

For now he just enjoys the rides in my car that i give him weekly to keep him happy. I wish my parents had excess money, damn bills!! Oh well at least i still have one, hehe.

my mom is really close to buying one...she loves them...but my dad thinks my car is a rich mans toy...t78 will do that to your parents

count me in.... dad and i both have FD's. well really we are sharing one now as a weekend car, while the other one undergoes a 20b swap :wink: -heath

Lol, Ive met so many moms that love the car its insane. I guess its the curves. My girlfriends mom insisted on taking it for a spin, she knew how to drive manual not bad not bad.

well, my dad is co-signed to my FD and he owns an FB...hows that?

My dad co-signed for my fd, and took out a loan so I could buy it (I payed him back of course). He also made me go look at it ( I was set on a 3000 gt), but not after I saw this baby. This was last January while I was still in High School, and it needed a lot of work. It was a theft recovery. So he worked on it all day while I was in school and then we'd work on it together when I got home. Hell, we had to buy so many parts, the guys down at the Mazda dealership know us buy and voice on the phone. I'm in college now so we have to wait untill the summer to fix it more. This summer, we're planning to re-paint the whole thing, buy new bumper and side skirts and fix the interior ( it got all cut up when it was stolen. Very sad).
