You know your a Rotorhead if you attend mettings no matter when or where it is. You'll be there


You showoff by reving the car so either the car can backfire or hear the BOV

if you know how a rotor works.

if you drive a rx7 and someone ask if thats a corvette/miata

if by telling them what kind of car it is you say (remember fast & furious) Yeah! (you know the red car that vin diesl is driving) Yeah! (well thats it)

even if your car isnt moving you sit in the car just to act like your at a racetrack driving. and if you see someone passing by you look at them like (WTF you looking @)

If your homepage is rx7club.com

If everyone thinks your an idiot for buying a car that floods half the time you try to start it and you still think it's the greatest purchase you ever made.

If you curse the damned miatas at that autox for whipping your *** in a chicks car then remember that their driving girls cars and it's all good.

If your list of parts to replace costs more then the car cost when you bought well then you probaly have my car.

If you make posts about "I just passed Ten.( or your state) emissions",... You are definetly a rotorhead.


If you start your car and have to have a Carbon Monoxide alarm inside the garage, And a breathing aperatus in the glove box,... you might be a rotorhead.


Kick me if that has already been posted.

ImprezedRS, that is the luckiest kitten EVER...

if by telling them what kind of car it is you say (remember fast & furious) Yeah! (you know the red car that vin diesl is driving) Yeah! (well thats it)
I say that all the time because most of the time it is the ONLY way they will know that kind of car it is... but mine is a little modified...

them: what kind of car it is?
me: remember fast & furious?
them: Yeah!
me: you know the red car that vin diesl is driving?
them: Yeah!
Me: well thats it, just an older style, a little boxier, but just as sexy in it's own sort of way
them: umm, i'm leaving now
me: need a ride? it revs to 8k you know? and only has 3 main moving parts? but gets crappy gas mileage, and smells like gas...did i mention it revs to 8k??

If you blew up your old RX-7 (2 times), got pissed, fixed it.. . again, regularly missed/was late for work becuase it flooded, wrecked it racing, sold it.. . . swore you would never buy one again. . . . only to turn around and buy a new one and proceed to dump tons of money into it. . . and then explain to everyone that heard you bitch about your old one exploding and flooding that the new one has ceramic apex seals and it will hold up MUCH better and is worth every penny you are dumping into it.

If you can explain to chicks that the car stalling, back firing, etc. is indicitive of it being such a high performance vehicle and having them believe you and tell their friends how cool your car is.

If your girl friend is actually used to you smelling like gas

If your friends/parents/girl friend/etc are used to your home garage always smelling like gas

If EVERYONE at work knows when you are late/leaving early becuase your car sets off 1/2 of the car alarms in the parking lot and causes stuff to rattle on the office shelfs.

If you have ever been pulled over for shooting a 3 foot flame in the precense of a cop

If you can explain to any normal rational person that linear spring rates are perfectly normal for street cars and progressive springs are for wimps and eventually you get them to buy some for their car.

If you have ever registered your car in another state to get around emmssions

I don't have a girlfriend, since I happen to BE a girl, but I can SOOO relate to some of that!! ROFLMAO! It's funny to show up to work/class/church smelling like gas & other various car scents. It's like a Mazda-issued perfume!

*bump*

C'mon, boys... I KNOW you can think of more rotorhead jokes!

**You might be a rotorhead if you risk getting a ticket on I-440 on the way to a class you are ALREADY late to, just to catch up with another RX-7 owner, just to wave at him... hoping he will take the same exit you do, so you can give him a card for your rotary club.**

He went towards Wilmington, I was going towards 401/Garner. If I had a passenger, I would have had them hand him a card. I sure made him smile tho... his elderly mom was in the passenger seat... it would be AWESOME to see her driving. LOL We need more RX-7 women-drivers!! (just as long as they don't DRIVE like a woman!!)

You know you are a rotorhead if:

You have too many model Rotaries
You have a Rotor Clock
Your S/O is a rotorhead too
You have Mazdacomp on speed dial
The Mazda Dealer knows you by your first name
The Dealership calls you when they are stumped
People you don't know call you to ask you rotary questions
You hate when you see another RX-7 while you are in your Daily Driver!
When you leave notes on other people's cars with your # and RX7club.com

You might be a rotorhead if your Rotary IS your daily driver.

You might be a rotorhead if tears come to your eyes when you see another rotary while you're stuck driving your mom's minivan or riding the city bus... when your rotary daily driver is getting fixed.

Alright...

You might be a rotorhead if you replace your OEM shiftknob in your newest RX-7 with the OEM shiftknob from your last RX-7.

or... if you drive 30 miles in the middle of the night because one of your friend's friends is having rotary troubles.

We are such a fascinating breed, ladies and gentlemen.

you know your a ROTORHEAD if you are having car trouble and some one thinks it would be best if you take it to the dealer and you just stare at them thinking of ways to rip thier head off.. but then just start laughing and they dont see whats so funny..

>>>>.........if you search the forum looking for people that are having the same problem that you just had and fixed just to let them know that you had the same problem and fixed it..

...... if you just type RX7 in your search engine and start to ckick on every link just to see whats on it.. ( i didnt know rotary's were so big in australia and the UK..)

you know ur a ROTORHEAD if you meet total strangers and become best friends just beacuse they are a ROTORHEAD.


/..... You dont know peoples names, but just address them by the color, model and Mods of thier rotary.

you spend more time working on other peoples rotary than your own... (len)

Park your Rotary all the way out in the middle of the parking lot so you can see it in full view when your walking back to it.

if you drop to a lower gear every time you go under a bridge just cause it sounds so cool

if you shut your car off while at the drive-thru so the other person can hear your order

if people cover their ears (and noses) when you enter the parking garage

You know your a rotor head if you have more rotary blocks than cars
-Can't drive a different car unless you swap the boinger out for a rotary
-Spin your head around every time a 7 drives by
-You stop and check out every rx7 you see
-If you can tell a rotary exhaust note from a pp (pistonpopper)

Might be a rotorhead if...

You get a strange sense of satisfaction when you look into
the men's urinal and see a rotor-shaped sanitary cube...

You have ever bought a parts car because it's
cheaper than buying the actual part you need...

You carry a fire extinguisher in your car because
you ACTUALLY think it might catch on fire...

You have ever gone 100mph with a "blown" engine...

If someone has ever started a chainsaw,
and you run to the window to make sure your car isn't being stolen...

Every concern about your car a passenger
mentions you answer, "oh that's normal"...

Cmon people keep em comin!
