^ Lmao!

 

i totally agree with you guys......


You know you're a 1st gen owner when you always bitch to Advance Auto Parts about their squealing brake pads from raybestos....(not any more, i now buy bendex)

 

Why don't you all just call the wheel manufacturer and special order your rims?

 

...when the first, second, third, and EVERY friggin modification you ever make always costs exactly half of what the ******* thing is worth to anybody else at that point in time.

 

...you know your a first gen owner...

...when you drive under a low bridge to here that unique sound loudly.

...when you rather listen to your engine than your radio.

...when you name your dog wankel.

 

I'd say more like "when you drive under a low bridge and then WOT it to hear that unique sound loudly

 

when your at a car show with 500+ cars, and people go "WTF??" when you pop your hood.

when you time how long you physically stand behind your car while its running.

When hitting the redline buzzer actually makes you laugh, so you do it again without fear.

When you physically have to look up to see the top of a Civic Hatchback.

 

when your biceps muscles are getting buff from jacking up the car and holding the tranny on your chest.

when the 'pull a part manager' tells the clerks to "only search your tool kit when there's RX 7's on the lot."

when you get depressed because a 7 passed you and didn"t wave.

when you get out of your 7 and realize all the people staring at your ride, weren't staring because, its the hippest, most together sports car you imagined it to be. well, maybe it is just wait till i get some $$$.

 

That was nice at the end of a ruff work day...

...When you have tried every possible combination of 0PISTONS for your vanity plate at the DMV

 

As the cop pulls you over, your buddy looks at you and say, Dam did I shift into second?

When the cop gets to the car, buddy saying throught the Glass " I have to open the door the Electric window does not work"

 

too add to the noise comment...

You know you own a first gen when you get pulled over for going through the tunnel back and forth 7 times WOT to hear the echo...

 

You're a true 1st gen fan when the wife says either the car goes or I go and you help pack her bags.

 

when your constantly checking this forum...

 

lol these are great.....

you know your a 1st gen owner when....

when swapping motors and the body shifts on the jacks you physically lift it back to where it needs to be while you buddy scams from under it

whenever you jump into a fc you miss the "cockpit" feeling of your first gen

although it would be cheaper to just get a new car or take a easier route, you instead insist on completing the fuel injection so when the motor goes it gets ya set up to put that s5 motor in

<l><l>

 

When you say to some one "yea it has a rotary" and show them your keychain of it. Then they ask "how many pistons, 4?" " And you say "it pretty much runs by a triangle" they will look at you for hours. "wtf triangle????" LOL

 

whenever someone sees you start it and insists that "It needs a new head gasket because its blowing blue smoke" and you laugh at them.

when you get tired of explaining why you pop the hood after a hard drive.

when you add just as much coolant as fuel.

 

1. You have one custom 81. Then buy another 81 GSL for a "parts" car & end up restoring it.
2. You have no space in your in guest room for a bed because of all the spare RX7 parts.

You have several rx7's (6)

81 GS, 82 GSL, 83 GS, 85 GSL-SE, 87 TII, and a 91 TII
and we just got rid of two 81 GSL and a 87GXL

 

The clerk tears out of the store to keep you from putting 87/85 into that sweet looking racecar.

People ask what kind of fuel injector cleaner you're putting in the tank... "Lucas 2-cycle".

You proudly show your friends that you can turn the wheel half a turn before the front tires move.

You get pulled over by a cop and he says, "Are you interested in selling it?" "Are you giving me a ticket, or a warning?"

 

That would be me in this case as the wife it allways mad @ me for no room in the guest room.

This happened to me!!!

=======================

You're a first gen owner when your wife tells you that if you sell it,
you can get ANY 3rd Gen or RX-8 you want, no questions asked.

You're a first gen owner when you've owned several of them.

You're a first gen owner when you'd rather work on your car,
than work on your tan.

You're a first gen owner when you don't even smell the gas anymore,
and people have to remind you -"oh, you were driving your seven again?",
you smell.

 

I think that the broken part falls into the part after you work out for turning at low speeds .

 

Damn, girl. How do decide what to drive to work?

 

...when AutoZone has asked you about setting up an account.

...when your friends all ask you if you can help with THEIR cars, because being a first gen owner made you a master mechanic


... when you realize that the only girl that's perfect is a first gen owner, too...

 

You hear a clunk clunk entering a freeway and just realized you left your wrenches in the engine bay.
