RX7 Irony in Downtown Toronto

So for the past few weeks I've been complaining to myself how I never see rx7's anywhere. I'd love to see an FD go screaming up the road while im walking on the curb, or even an FC.

I've been looking at 240sx's (S13/14), Supra's (Mk3), and RX7's (FC) to buy and I was walking around Etobico with my friends last friday saying "I never see RX7s just driving around" and then we happened to pass a 1991 240sx waiting at a red light and 2 minutes later a 1989 Supra parked outside a restaraunt. We never did happen to see a RX7 though.

So a few days go buy and I get off work and decide I should call my buddy up and we should grab some dinner. While I'm heading home that night I'm walking to the subway and I walk by a red car ... and kept walking. I get 10 feet past is and think to myself ... "wait a second ......."

Turn back and sure enough it was a red FC. Located right by the Spadina subway (University line side). I took a pic with my phone. I'll post it sometime on Monday (Leaving town right after work for thanksgiving). Looked in great condition, but it was getting dark ....

I wonder if anyone will see this thread and go "Oh ****! Thats my car!"

I've noticed a lot more FC's hanging around my area. Also on the way to work I see a few FC's.
Very rare do I see an FD.
I've been noticing alot of RX-8's lately. Always see the Grand Tuner RX-8 on my way to work.

Tonight there should be 2 FD's and 1 RX-8 heading out to Dooley's...

I've seen two FBs since I've got mine. The first one belongs to Adam on this forum, and as soon as I saw it I knew it had to be his car (it was MINT!). The second one was a silver GSL-SE which I saw yesterday at the Hurontario and Derry intersection. That car looked to be in perfect shape, it had an exhaust an body coloured boldings. It looked really good too! I wanted to jump in my GSL-SE and chase him down but my mouth was full of chicken. Ah well...

I've seen a bunch of FCs too, but whose cares about those, they're a dime a dozen

I live in Toronto and have an FB but it's not in T-O. It's kept at my parents place near Ottawa (I'm there now for the extra long weekend I'm taking). But I know what you mean, I never see any RX-7's around anymore. I did see a nice 10th anniversary today while I was out in my FB.

Reminds me of one day this summer......never posted it up, but I was going north on the 404 (up past 16th) in my black FD just driving along when I come up on by a blue vert FC.

So we wave and we kinda hang together for a good 5-10 minutes, just cruising along.

Then, next I just happened to look across into the southbound lanes and there driving by is a red FB. So there was all three gens driving at the same point on the highway at the exact same time, & totally random.

Wonder if the FB ever noticed the two of us on the other side ?........
