yes, it's true. If you own a rx7, you are considered cheap.

7s are cheap to own. just buy a 40.00 car cover and let it sit.

My car doesnt seem expensive to maintain.

$50 Oil change & Gasoline is all its cost me for the last couple months.

I just replaced the wheel bearings this weekend, but with a 100k mile chassis, that is to be expected.

Sooo... My rx7 isnt costing me anything more than any other car would. And it doesnt consume oil.

Yeah, you cant expect everything to stay perfect, especially when your car is a 1/4 century old.
