blah blah blah

......you make a girl that likes you alot, jealous because you talk about your car more than you talk about how she looks when she's in front of you.

...

Your 64 MG Midget project has a bad misfire, and you are seriously considering a 12A transplant.

If . . . you save all your broken parts and all the old rusty screws, bolts and nuts from your car after you do a mod or repair 'cause you know how hard it is to find parts and will consider rebuilding the part and cleaning all the nuts, bolts, and screws because you might need'em some day, . . . you might be a rotorhead.

YMBARHI...

...you pull out the videocamera to record yourself starting your car after it's been down for 5 months.

...your car is covered in dirty primer, missing numerous exterior parts including the front bumper, and is idling like a WWI era bi-plane, but you still feel like a sexy beast driving it.

...the above mentioned car sits in the garage every night, while your parents new $30,000 SUV sits in the driveway.

Anyone guess what I did today???

when you wear a rotor on some 1" chain for a neclace you might be..

when you take your UIM off..change some parts, put everything back together and still have about 10 screws left over but just throw them in a storage bin and drive it anyways...

when, instead of thinking about the new McLaren F1 you might buy, you start thinking about the millions you would be spending on RX7s if you won the lottery :P

when someone asks you how many cylinders your car is and you say "0"

when you sell your daily driver instead of your parts car so that you can finish the turbo project on your FD :P

when you you stop and take pictures of every rx7 you see so you can post them on a forum to try to find out who they are

when you and your friends almost get in a wreck because you slam on your breaks and turn into a mechanics shop and run in and bug the hell out of the guy who trying to do work so you can check out the CYM widebody 20b first gen hes working on :P

when you judge how well youve tuned your car by how often your backfires occur or how long they last :P

when your odometer hits 200k and you throw a party

I had a bright red one on a royal maroon car before I primered the whole thing. Hey, at least the door opened, and even from the outside!

Alright, here's some scary ones, true stories guys/gals...

YMBARHI...

you've ever accidently started your car with a key from another RX-7.

your friend's FC key has opened every FC hatch he's tried it on, including yours.

your cruise control periodically causes your car to idle at 5000 instead of 750.

you might be a rotarhead if you simply nod when someone tells you about the 6 foot flames coming out of the back of your car. . .
