What's your favorite thing about owning a 3rd gen..

Just wondering..

What is your favorite thing about owning a 3rd gen...

Is it the car itself, the people, the club, the joy of driving, or... women!

I love how snug I feel in the car. It remains to this day, my favorite car I've ever driven. For some reason, I got this the most with my 94 touring, when I drive the car, it almost feels like an extension of my body.... very strange indeed.

I've driven a porche gt2, diablo, testarosa, all kind of amazing cars... When I would get back in my car and boost it, it always managed to put a smile on my face.

Some women think the car is cute but they hate the ride. Women around where I live aren't really impressed by cars in most cases.

In my opinion the FD is pretty nice on the street but FANTASTIC on the track.

I love the looks and the fact that a car I paid $7500 for can blow away $75,000 cars at the track.

I don't think its a chick magnet..
I do like the fact that its like drug.. Ever since I bought this car, I been going to rotary gatherings, trying to buy parts on ebay/forum/partstrader, I sit front of a computer reading posts, STOPPED working out and gained 30lbs, I spend my free time with other rotorheads.. AUGH!!! And bought another one so I could repeat the whole thing again.. AUGH!!
But I do love it went I get in it..

The celebrity status you get when in it.

You have people pull up hang out the windows and give.

People just randomly walk up to you at the gas station and ask all sorts of questions. Ranging from intelligent to "does it have a turbo and can I hear its blow off valve".

They follow you forcing you to ditch them before you get home.

Talking Love the RX!

I love the way it drives and the unique look and engine design. I get more double takes and occasionally people asking me about the car. Each mod I do only makes the driving of it more enjoyable!

handling and weight

Such amazing handling from a car with the engine in front. Also its low weight compared to its peers.

The fact that people still turn their heads when it goes by and how they stop and ask me what it is with a smile.
