FD3s SPOTTED!

These are SOOOO uncommon now...

Saw it going north on I45 at around 9:30 on Sunday headed back to Dallas. I think it was black. It coulda been montego. Had some plates that weren't from Texas...

The car was traveling at about 75~80mph. I was going about 65~70 with the truck and trailer with the cars on tow. I was honking like an idiot when the car passed lol...

Did you see me?

Yeah I don't know if you can tell so far but that first one is a show car. I have seen him at the import face off's for a while now. He has a write up on how it got stolen.lol. Then that other rx7 I think is his race car or daily driver. I don't know.lol.

Well crazyazn you are about to see another rx-7 around the dallas area (my white 1994 touring) once I get her registered and insured. I'm sure you'll spot me anywhere on any of the major highways *cough* bush *cough* in the early mornings.

I was the driver of the rig with the two cars. I spotted the FD driving on the road. I was the person honking like an idiot.

Haha, was the driver you?

It's not that dark from my view. I just can't wait to build her up though (reliabilty purposes). At least I know one thing. I'm not driving her for the next few weeks in this weather. Too many people out there on the roads that don't know how to handle these road conditions. Saw 3 accidents on the way home last night and 1 this morning on the way to work.

Oh gawd, my beater is down right now so the FC has been my DD for a couple months or so. Scared the hell out of me in the past couple mornings...I have to cross a couple bridges and felt a little ice on one the other day. Naturally I let off the gas, but it pisses me off to see A-holes FLYING past me in their SUVs. Slow down for god's sake...the traffic isn't moving any faster ahead of you!
Oh, btw, I share my commute from White Rock Lake area with a really cool older lady in a red FD. We've spoken a couple times at the light and I told her I LOVED her car (completely stock FD), and she responded "I like YOURS better...I used to have one... THIS one (the FD) is a money pit!!" HAHA .... I love my FC

LOL Nice edit. :P

In the morning on my way to work, I keep seeing a red FC on Rowlett Road where it turns into the beginning of bush. Along with that FC, every once in a while I see a silver R33 and a couple 240sx that has been modded in a tasteful fashion.

Yea last 2 days I've seen lots of crazy drivers. One guy in a pickup started sliding on the sand and instead of counter steering he slams on his breaks and spin out. On tuesday morning some lady stepped on her brakes when she hit an ice patched and spun out as well. Luckily both of them didn't hit anything or anyone.

Yeah that is true too...Well once I get mine back on the road, I plan to keep her moving for a while. I work on a very busy street and I hate seeing everyone haul *** down the road while I'm just watching.
