Three 3rd Gen Sightings... San Diego Area

Well I was stoked cuz it's friday today and the weekend is breathing down my neck. I get in my company car, (a 2003 Grand Prix), and head out to work. I pull up to a stop light just blocks from my house.... and BAM...

Passing right in front of me is a beautiful Brilliant Black3RD Gen RX7. The RX7 was northbound on Genesee Ave. passing through Clairemont Mesa Blvd. I tried to catch up... but San Diego traffic ya know. It went whizzing by pretty quick. Looked to have the 99Spec front and wing.. but couldn't see real well.

Anyone...???


So then I get off the 52 @ Convoy and see another 3rd Gen sitting at a used car dealership... got some pics of this one. I think it was an automatic, but forgot to look just remembering off the glimpse of the shifter. Oh and take some of that crap off your car. Like the Stickers that look like they were a prize in a cereal box. The hood emblem and rear emblem are stickers....

Anyone even want to claim this one??









And then i saw a Green touring with tan interior, parked on Mercury street just south of Clairemont Mesa Blvd.

Anyone???


But all in all i'd have to say it's been a good friday so far....

Last week while at work in Rancho Santa Fe, a red FD passed me... it had aftermarket wheels and exhaust. Also a silver touring model around downtown. No clue as to who the driver/ owners are.

The Silver Touring Model might be mine. I live downtown but work in Solana Beach. I drive my Silver Touring FD a couple days a week. Car looks stock but has larger brakes and some custom front brake ducts built into the lower lip spoiler.

I want to come to one of your meets sometime soon. I'll be at Mazdafest at Buttonwillow in May. Where do you guys meet exactly on Tuesdays and when?

I am pretty sure the white FD is automatic. I think I tested drove the car 3 years ago at Miller. It was trade in for the Montego SUV. The first owner was Japanese girl.

The white FD looks like "Fumanchu's" old car which he sold a while back. It had a '99 lip, black stock wheels, and an idiot box transmission. Maybe the body work was put on by the new owner?

I wish I can make the meet one of these days.....
Living in Chulawana is such a pain coming up to Clairmont.

Off topic. Man, Francine was such a hottie. Last time I saw her, she sure didn't look like that picture. Maybe it was a bad day

Yeah that was probably Patrick. He lives in Mira Mesa and works in Sorrento Valley (I think).

But who knows... there are actually hundreds of FDs in San Diego County.
