I have had a lot of "RX7 moments" in the 20 plus years I have driven rotary rockets.

My first one came before I even owned it, when the owners of the car dealership opened up the side so I could drive it out of the showroom.

I remember going out to dinner with my wife and coming out to find a couple guys drooling all over it. Then there was pulling into a gas station that was absolutely packed, and when I went in to pay the attendant said "Are you the one with the car?".

I remember racing a new mustang across the back roads of Southern Illinois, and another time flying down the blacktop at $130 miles per hour.

I remember the first time I got in my 83 RX7 (in 83), and thought the inside lighting made it look like downtown chicago at night.

I still have moments when I walk out of a business establishment at night, and see it parked under a light, and think "man that car looks so great!".

What are your most memorable moments in your RX7?

 

I'd have to say, when I test drove it for the first time. The push from a rwd vehicle was so blissful, in fact it still is!

 

it would have to be when i had a 88 rx tII and other things. But any way it would be when i was dominating honda in every race just about it was love. Cause they think honda are this and that and still even tho i beat them they came up with a excuse. their rediculus

 

I think it is universally accepted that "when it runs" is THE "RX7 moment."

I do like the indecision on 130 mph vs $130 per hour as both seem correct... it's always worth every penny though.

 

i think my favorite one has to be when i got it and pulled up to rite aid ( its where all the "ricers" hang out) and asked if anyone wanted to race. turns out EVERYONE its scared of these things. they all have "really fast" cars but are scared of me. it makes me laugh everytime!

 

"every time you drive it, it's an RX7 moment..." well said! Last night I ran over to a local gathering and gave an old friend a ride home. he was from England and when he got in he said "say! this certainly looks like a lot of fun! what is it?". had to do a U-turn to exit the street we were on but rather than drive all the way to the cul-de-sac, I just reversed direction right in the street. at the same time, answering his question of "what do you like best about it?" with "the tight turning radius! "

yeeha. love that car.

 

how easy it makes getting girls numbers when they see your car.

they always want a ride! just like a bike!

some of my favorite RX-7 or any of my car moments!!

 

My best RX7 moments have been with the times meeting new people with similar interests. Caravans and group get togethers make the car so much more enjoyable.

Is this really a tech post?

 

"is this really a tech post?"... oops! busted. I put this in the wrong area.
guilty as charge; but well-intended.

 

each time I start it

 

I have a second answer.. BRAP.

 

Have only been driving one for a couple of months, but so far it was pulling out of the toll booth next to a Mustang that dearly wanted to get ahead of me. HE DIDN'T!!!!

 

Every time I pull up to the stoplight at Cook's Corner and some kid in a Honda with loud exhaust thinks he's fast.....Love seeing the expression on their faces in my mirror! lol

 

Driving in between Burger King and Tim Horton's(Canada eh?!) and the People are Glued to the windows..WTF is that makin all that Racket?!!
I liked the look of a Cop's face when he pulled me over,Thinking I was a young Punk with a Death wish..Only to See him staring into the car at 48 year old Guy with a Coffee in his hand!.,.(Priceless!).

 

first time i boosted

 

Attempting to redline her last night. I haven't owned mine that long either, but everytime I get inside, it's an unforgetable experience. She's totally worth all the trouble. My 1st car, my first manual, my first rotary!

 

Same here man. I can't wait to get my car back from the shop.

 

AWESOME! Congratulations!

 

They day i got her, started her up... took her home with a big grin on my face..

 

at first ...it was the moment..i pushed her onto the trailer.. after looking for years for one i could afford.. but now.. its the first time i got it started and took it out. NOTHING like it.

 

+1 didnt even think of that one

 

Lashing some douche bag at the lights in his porche

 

here's an RX7 moment of a different type... I have fequently run into people who walk up to me and say "is that your RX7? I used to have one. I loved that car. I think driving that car was the most fun I ever had..." Sometimes, I responded with "that's why I am still driving it".

just found a dandy set of quarter panels. the baby will spend the winter with the local car restorer, getting the panels put on, and a new paint job! (and miscellaneous other things you might expect in a car that is 27 years old.

 

my fovarite moment is right i after i swaped my fc i was reving it and all i heard was oh **** i looked back and saw a flame shoot out like 5 feet

 

the perfect drift
