I'm 43, live in Canada. I have had my FD since February. I have spent 300 $ on it so far. I am a teacher and I have a doctorate in Architecture as well.
I have wanted this car since 1995, when I saw it for the first time.
I am a patient guy, as you can see...

Nuthin' to hide

I guess I'm one of the old farts. 49. I'm the CEO of my own electronics company. Started it up in 1997. Internet based. No major commercial electronics company, university, or govt agency that hasn't bought something from me at least once. I've sold electronic wires to everyone from CERN in Switzerland to NASA here in the US.

Education: Yeah I've got lots of educaton. Graduated with a 2 yr degree from a community college.

Last year was a big year for spending money on my FD. Got new AC and new clutch and transmission. Dropped about $6000.

BTW, everyone seems so open about their ages and occupation in this thread, but everytime I go to check on one of you in your profile, all I see is "Male, own an FD" or some such nonsense. What's the deal? I filled out a complete profile on myself. I've got nuthin to hide.

I’m 51, I traded my 91 ZR1 on a new 93 FD & still have it. except for the Tri-Point engine rebuild I spend between $500 to $3000 per year depending on the project area. I love working on the car just as much as driving it up the Mt. were I work.

20, 21 in a month, had my 1995 fd for about 7-8 months now (I actually bought it on 9/11/06, however long that is) and I'm an account manager for Cingular Wireless. I haven't spent too much on it yet, just fixed stuff that's broken, but that will change as soon as I am finished paying it off (already almost there!) I love my car, and I have wanted an FD since they were new. seriously. every video game I've ever played, I've built at least one nasty rx7. so, yeah, I love my car.

Mmmm. I'm seeing a combination of Journey and REO, with maybe a sprinkle of Chicago for mood music while in the back of the van.
Had an 81 'S' model myself...and you couldn't tell now, but I was even thinner.
