I just got my FD and already I have spent around 5k in upgrades and another 7k for body work and a new paint job. After that, I expect another 1k in ugprades and then my life will be complete. How sad is that. I cant wait until things start breaking down. Who needs to invest in the future anyway.

 

meh, I find that once you run out of **** to do you start to get bored with the car. After a couple thousand miles of trouble-free, reliable driving I start looking at the car and finding things I want to improve or change. And every time something breaks, I learn a lot more.

If working on the car is an obstacle to enjoying it, in the end an Rx-7 is probably not for you. If working on the car is a large part of the enjoyment itself, then that will keep you going--if the financial cost doesn't kill you. But you pretty much have to make big sacrifices. All your other hobbies take a back seat. Expensive vacations? Nice clothes? You can get a lot of mods for that... besides, it's not like Europe or the fashion industry are going anywhere. Parts are becoming more and more scarce for our cars.

 

Especially if you do not know what you are doing, it's Hotel California !!!!!
