Who Has Owned Their FD The Longest?
 
Purchased my 03/92 made R1 in July 1992.

I think you win lol. Had mine 5 years. I wish I could have bought it new. :(

caredden 05-29-12 01:44 AM

Chuck,

I imagine that you might win this contest. I purchased mine in April of 1996 (2nd owner).

orange7 05-29-12 01:47 AM

1998 bought a 93' MB touring / $12k 56k miles. Still have it & running (2nd motor) till now!

Railgun 05-29-12 05:45 AM

About to hit 10 years. A far cry from 20, but who`s counting? :)

NeoTuri 05-29-12 06:04 AM

9 years.

XLR8 05-29-12 06:36 AM

Yep, not even in the same decade. But as previously stated, and like most owners.... I wish I would have owned it from the beginning... However, I was 13.

David Hayes 05-29-12 07:26 AM

cewrx7r1 beats me too. Bought mine new in December of 1994.

RX007CYM 05-29-12 07:35 AM

The original owner of my CYM picked her up in Atlanta in January of 92. I Bought her Nov 2001. As others have said you probably take the cake.

adam c 05-29-12 08:47 AM

I'm going to think of a contest I can win. I know!! Who has had their cheap bastard intake the longest?? :)

Bought my FD Jan 02. Bought my first RX7 Jan of 82. I'm a 30 year owner!!!

moosejaw 05-29-12 08:56 AM

Haaa! I beat David H

Sept 1994.
Mine was a dealer demo with a blown motor. (Thermostat)

wstrohm 05-29-12 12:13 PM

Bought new Sept. 1994.

cewrx7r1 05-29-12 01:10 PM

I purchased my first RX-7 "FB" in 83. So you beat me there!

How about a new twist on this..
Who has had their 3rd gen on jack stands the longest. I have my '94 (that I bought new) on stands in my garage since July of 1999. I bought another '94 and have been driving that one ever since... I really need to make time to do something with that car. Probably when I retire.

You bastard you! But at least I was able to drive mine off the lot :)

Montego 05-29-12 02:54 PM

wow. March of '92 is going to be a tough one to beat. So you bought it before it was made? When did they first arrive at the dealerships? I remember they were out in 92 but forget what month.

Oh yeah for me not even close as I bought mine in 98.

revolutionz_fd 05-29-12 07:13 PM

October 2011 motor just got here this week after $12,754.72 of mods

billt 05-29-12 07:32 PM

Nov 1998 for me, dealer leftover. I still have the original motor & twins-never rebuilt.

hungry 4 piston 05-29-12 07:56 PM

Bought mine in 2000 with 32k on it has 52k on it now....

bajaman 05-29-12 08:55 PM

Damn...few can beat that record. I'm the 2nd owner of mine and I bought mine in October of 2000...

Only when rotating tires.

mrb63083 05-30-12 02:46 PM

I've been in debt for over 3 years, now. ;) But, this isn't my first FD. I've had 5 since I was in high school.

Meiogirl 05-30-12 03:50 PM

My FD has been on this forum longer than I have!

Got my first one in July 2001, this one in July 2009.

Rx7boy719 05-30-12 06:06 PM
