Im 18... I just got mine last month. I cant drive it right now though because my license is suspended from my other car(stupid eclipse). So i am just watching it from my bedroom window right now. Its amazing but the people in this club are younger than the eclipse club i was in. Seemed to me that it would be the other way around. This car has been my dream for about 4 years now and I LOVE IT. Wish I had it in highschool though(dammit.. missed it by a year)

Im 18 and in college 
I have had the car for 4 months now, but have been working (dont laugh) at Winn Dixie since i was 14, then moved onto a Cajun resturant, and worked there until i was finaly 18, then became a sushi chef. Basically 5 years of hard work at minimum wage. . . .but low and behold, my payoff was a mint condition T-rex. Just in time too, Spring break is rolling near.

And we wonder why the rex has such a bad reputation for reliability. Somehow I don't think Mazda was targeting 16-20 year olds when it put the FD on the market.

38 years old. "married with children". Definitely an eye opener seeing so many 18 year old's. I won't ask what your paying for insurance??? When I was 18 I drove a 1st. Gen. off the lot in WPB Fla.
3 yrs. and 72,000 miles later I had to sell it because I needed to slow my life down. I have to agree with the other guys my age, you sure are LUCKY!! I have two boys who are already making claims on my '94....I sleep with one eye open!

I'm 20 and just bought my first FD off my dad who is 55 years old. he decided to invest in a 94 twin turbo supra, and gave me a good deal on his phat twin rotor, I feel lucky to be able to own one of these superior cars. I am a mechanical engineering major at univ. of dayton.

Got a 91 convertable and a 93 touring.

OOOHHHH......YYYYAAAAAA
I'm 23 but bought my 93 Rx7 when I was 17. Yes, it was fun having it during my last semester of high school. Nobody knew what it was, can you believe people used to ask me if it was a Lamborghini or Porsche! Dumbasses.......and if it was a six or an eight cylinder. Ha Ha Ha...I said Hell no this is a 13b twin rotor! People had no clue what the hell the engine was either. LOL...Geee. Well anyways it was tha bomb.

Lives on the Forum
i dont remember how old i was when i first got an FD. iam going to be 25 in 22 days. the fd i have now i have had for 3 years in sept. i was without a fd for about 6 months but the one i had before i had for 2 years before it was stolen. so now that i have typed out my calculations....i think i was about 19 or 20 at the time i first got one.
but lets say this....when i got my first fd, they were still "new" cars. and i was that young....i think it is easier for a young kid these days to aford one. damn. now that i think about that, what the hell was i doing wit all thatmoney back then. i shold have bought a house. LOL ohwell they say poor men have nice cars, rich men have nice homes. and i am not rich.

So true rxrotary2...if we were smart we'd go for more real estate, but what excitement is there in RE appreciation unless you're a bean-counter? Bean counters/money-moviers don't appreciate, understand nor deserve our babies although they can afford 2 of them with pocket change as an "investment" and not a driving experience. I'll take passion for the rotary anyday.. for richer or poorer.
