Hrm.... Time to revive an old thread once again
I'm 18 and I just bought my FD this month. I swear this car has stolen my heart (and my wallet). I took out a 12K loan to buy the car and am going to be paying that off for a long time. Oh well, it makes it all worth while when I sit in the drivers seat.

Im 21 now, bought my 93 R1 when I was 19. I am also a college student. Third gen RX-7 + college student = bad combination. I spent every penny I had on it and now I am a poor, sorry sonofabitch. I don't regret buying it, but I can't help but think about how much easier life would be had I bought a cheap car. Between gas and maintainence (sp?) I have no money to do anything fun. I would have killed for this car in high school, but for those who haven't graduated from college yet and don't have rich parents, do yourself a favor and wait to buy the car of your dreams.
i hope i get alot of money for my birthday! YAY!!! muahahah! and i'm having my birthday party at CHUCKECHEESE!! YAY! everyone's INVITED! =X

27 here. I cannot belive how young the owners are!?!?!?! I though I was gonna be on the young side. No wonder its so hard to find one that has not been thrashed. I am looking for one. I am not in a hurry. I am going to do what everyone says, take my time. I had a 1st gen when I was 19. Fast little thing, I love the rotary. Time to step up! I can hardly wait.
