CA First car, First FC

Hi, my name is Christopher Stevenson, but most call me CJ

On new years eve i got around to buying my first car which was a 1990 rx7 GXL non turbo. (i believe so, very noobie here)
I don't know much of anything about cars but i'm hoping to learn a lot from the forum. Its already been quite helpful for helping me get to headlights for my car not but a week ago.
So far I've been a very happy with my car and have been doing to the best of my ability to take care of it.
I'm still a fairly new driver and i'm a very new to being a car owner.
I picked up my rx7 for about 3500 in what was to me great condition. i had a friend look it over for me and he couldn't spot anything blatantly wrong with it. Sadly I've killed the battery a couple times because im not used to the car and i kind of drive with a lead foot which hopefully i will work on in time.

I hope to learn a lot from everyone here and i'm still excited i got the car of my dreams.

I was debating doing a turbo engine conversion. but im more out to turn my car into a nice looking show car than anything crazy performance wise. I'm still going to do performance things eventually but my goal is to keep it in good condition first, that is till i start getting some money.

Oh and thanks everyone. strangely enough i got it looking good from the previous owner. evidently it was his baby too. i'm hoping to learn alot from everyone.
