Welcome. If you want to learn, read. Second Gen Tech section is good stuff. You're a few hours from me, and I barely know the ins and outs yet, but maybe if you know what I don't, and vice-versa, we could be in good stuff.

I can tell you a few things though, like the 7 can't lose. It's the ultimate machine, gets less than awesome mileage, but is worth it....

Lots of stuff.

It was one of those things where you're driving and you catch a glimpse of a nice looking car...look over....wow! FD, nice! It looked like he had the 99 spec tail lights. But again, it was only a quick look and he was gone. Nice enough day though...which leads me to a question. When do you plan on pulling yours out of storage/garage and get some road time? I usually wait until the end of April or early May (depending on weather). That's just my personal pref. though.

Love that first drive of the year! I'm gearing up to get back out in the next few weeks....going out of town for a week first. Hopefully by then the weather will be a bit warmer...

I do not own an FD. Although I do know who own that FD you guys are referring to. It's not your usual "jdm" RX-7, I would say... It's one hell of a beast though.
