You know you own a FD if......

There was a thread like this on the Prelude site that I used to be on and it was a awesome thread, so i wanted to start one here as well. I will start it out so everyone gets the point and just add some on as you think of them.

You know you own a FD if you always have to turn around and get that last look in as you are walking away.

...if when you are standing outside you car in a busy parking lot and everyone that walks by it stops and checks out the inside, outside and all around saying "ddaaaammmmnnnn this is a bad *** ride.

...if you look in your rearview at a stoplight to see the person behind you smelling the air in there car wondering if that gas smell is something wrong with their car.

....if every morning the sight and smell of your 7 brings tears to your eyes :'-(

....if you catch yourself looking out side the house window to not only make sure your 7 is there but just to check it out over and over again.

...if you get caught up in a expensive gas conversation with a truck owner.


ok that should get us started, what you guys got....?

People don't know what type of car you drive, but they are willing to buy it off you anyway!

There are no mosquitoes left alive within 4 square miles of you house after you start up your car in the morning to warm it up 10 minutes before you are actually going to drive it.

you know you own an FD when you are asked how many cylinders it has and you reply with "zero" then get a dumbfounded expression

edit: super77 what you said is true, i went thru my clutch in the fall then had exactly how much i needed to replace it haha

....When you return to the valet and its parked upfront with cars that cost 4 times as much.

....When you look forward to the next time you can drive it, while your pulling it into the garage after a day trip.

Because you don't start to drool every time the new "hot car of the month" hits the car mags.

(I did start to drool when I first heard about the FD.)

General RX-7 Owners:

Every time you see another rotary, you feel like you have bumped into a long-lost brother and feel like the two of you need to catch up.

You have a superiority complex because you know you car is better and everyone is afraid to race you.

You think chatting on the RX7club or under your car is a socially acceptable way to spend a Friday night.

You scorn people who let idiots work on their car or change their oil.

You get excited when a car magazine runs an article about how great your 15-year-old car is.

You purposely park on the top level of parking garages for two reasons: it is empty so so one will ding your doors, and it is just so dam fun to gun it in first with the windows down and feel the blatt, blatt echoing off the walls and setting off all the lesser cars alarms.

You let your wife/girlfriend drive it once and she did not want to give back the keys. Instead, she used your entire gas tank terrorizing every other car on the road while hooping and hollering like a woman possessed (highway third-gear downshifts followed by a gut crushing run to 140MPH are her favorite as she cant deal with the first three gears worth of sideways action).
