So, this is the dark side?
Hello everyone!
My name is Rick. I'm from Oxnard, CA. I'm going to be purchasing my first FC tomorrow!
I have a pretty heavy automotive background. I currently work for the Air Power Group, which owns Vortech Superchargers, Paxton Superchargers & Lysholm Superchargers. Before that, I worked for an importer in southern California called Right Hand Drive JAPAN, LTD. We imported a few vintage Skylines, such as the ones that belong to Mark Arcenal & Felix Marcelino of Fatlace.
I own/operate my own blog (TheStreetLife) Just a hobby. Not trying to take over the internets or anything..
I used to be deep into the Honda stuff, but I've just grown out of it. This is the Accord that I just sold, which the money will be used to buy my first FC.
Aside from that, I used to own a RHD 1997 Honda Accord Wagon SiR. I eventually sold it to a good friend of mine in Florida, so it's still in good hands.
As I said, I'm going to be picking up my first FC tomorrow, so I'll post pics of it as soon as I get it. I've been around rotaries long enough & I think now is the right time to get one!
Nice to meet everyone!

I'm new to this site, but had my FC for years. Due to a move, we condensed down to a one car family and my husband has had to drive a sports car for the first time in his life. He now loves it and has joined the dark side as well. Welcome to the dark side, you're going to love it.

Hey everyone! sorry for the lack of posts.
Unfortunately, I did not get the FC. The night I sold my Accord, I had checked out an FC earlier that same day. I told the guy with the FC that my Accord would be sold later that night & that I would call him the following morning to get the FC from him, which he agreed to. The following day, I called the guy and asked him what time I could swing by to pick up the car. He told me the car won't be available for another 2 weeks because "I'm waiting for my paycheck so I can use that money and the money from the FC to get my next car." He failed to tell me this, so I got mad & just called off the deal.
I had no car or way to get to work, so I had to find something locally, fast. I ended up buying a 2000 Infiniti Q45 (I had been looking at one, too) for a fairly good deal, so that's what I'm driving now. The car is comfortable, but I'm still aching for an FC! I'm actively searching for someone who might want to trade my Q for an FC, but no luck.
Either way, I'll stick around the forum! Hopefully I get into an FC soon!

Clean rides! Dude the FC is an amazing vehicle! I hope you're enjoying it! My babies leaking compression some where so she sits in my garage loving the high life! She sat in the SCV desert for like 6 months before I was able to take her to a mechanic.
