you know you are a RX owner...

......when you buy a 7 out of pure attraction to it but have never been or wanted to be mechanically inclined and after owning it for any length of time end up becoming a master mechanic!

...if your "stock mount" intercooler took 8 hours and three trips to Home Depot to install.

or

...If your mechanic argues with you about whether the "Y pipe" is part of the exhaust or not.

or

You regularly get thumbs up from C5's and C6's.

I got a fresh one ...

when you're watching Car Crazy on the SPEED channel and you get to see Jay Leno's amazing 1977 Rotary Powered Cosmo

.. and when Jay says "so smooth ... Rotary Powered" ... you giggle like a little girl

10, 12 and 14mm are your friends.
You work on your car just to be next to it.
You hear "YOUR CAR SHOT FLAMES!" every time you drive at night.
You have no rear tire tread.
You spend more money on your car than anything else.

... everytime you put the key in, you say "Cmon baby please turn over, one more day!"

... when you pass a cop, you pray they don't see your 2 year old inspection sticker.

When you work on your car even though your garage is at 10 degrees

When all you think about all day is what to do with your FD

When you spend over $40,000.00 on your FD and still wont buy your girl of 7 years a ring...lol...

I've come across that a couple of times and told them the 7 comes first. Funny, because you know they would be expecting that answer, so why lie to them and yourself!

you know you own a fd when you relate your car to your girl and it makes her happy just because you and the car are in the same sentence (makes her feel important)

You know you own a fd if it wasn't for you and your car keep breaking down, your rotary mechanic would go out of business

You know you own an FD when..... all your friends bug you to hell asking to drive it, yet you never give in


You know you own an FD when..... you see one with the same paint and interior as yours and freak out and are ready to call 911, but you remember it is safe in your garage guarded by your house dog


You know you own an FD when.... people follow you honking their horn trying to get you to pull over....then ask for a ride and offer you 50 bucks on the spot to go around two blocks!! (true story)

You know your a FD owner if you have to apologize to passangers and warn them about your damn passanger door handle. Then you just tell them if they don't like it, get out.

Who sits in the garage? Most of us end up embarking on a new project that should take half an hour (in our minds), but ends up taking half a year.
