ive actually went to fill up recently and i dumped what was left of the bottle of 2 stroke in the tank.
the attendant walks up to me, asks if he can see the bottle. so i give it to him. he reads the bottle, looks at me confused, reads the bottle again, and looks at me confused as he hands it back and walks away.
lol stuff like that never gets old lol

I'm at the junkyard and finally found an aluminum spare from a vert, among other items, and brought it to the cashier.
Remember the WALL-E scene with the spork? Cashier called a few co-workes over to figure out if I should be charged for an alloy rim or a spare.
Cashier was cool once I explained about the weight reduction plan back then (one head, one gram iirc)

im visiting a friend that works at rite aid and they have a game similar to mcdonalds monopoly and one of the prizes is a g37 coupe or a cash option of 50 grand i was like wow ill take the 50 grand lol and my friend says your car is a pos and im like yeah but its still a sports car and its faster then mommy's suv and the other guy working was like what do you have and i replied an 88 rx7 and he goes wow nice does it have less tan 80000 miles and i replied no he said well get rid of it i said y its got 240000 and still runs fine (except for the smoke from the coolant seal) so i leave the store i see him looking out the window and i had been sitting in my car waiting for it to warm up and i back out of my space and as i drive past the doors i give it a small rev about 4k and it backfires (the beautiful rotary type)
situations like that are the reason i havent gotten rid of my seven
she gives me grief all the time but i still love her

well this isnt specifically for the rx7 but i think its still kind of funny:
so in chemistry were learning about elements, isotopes, ions you know all that good stuff.one of the questions was to write out the element RB and its charge. so in my head i knew damn well it was rubidium but on the answer sheet i got it wrong and saw that i wrote down Racing Beat rather than rubidium
no idea why!

RX-7s are reliable.
I don't like my headlights up during the day, I just don't like the way they look, so in the gloomy houston day, I turn on my headlights but keep the lamps down. I get to my college, get out, forget to turn my headlights off, go inside and the battery dies. When I ask a security guard if he has any jumper cables he asks me what kind of vehicle I have. I told him a Mazda RX7. He then asks me if that's a truck.... lol.

Mistaken identity
So last night a friend tells me he saw a car just like mine sitting in a junk lot with a bunch of other RIP cars. Said it was a white convertible just like mine. So I'm thinking "cool. parts car". I was like "you sure it was an RX7?" (not exactly many of those around here, so I was skeptical). he was sure.
He gave me directions to this graveyard, and I drove out this morning. Sure enough, sitting in a fenced in lot out in the middle of nowhere, right next to an old 240z, was a decent looking.... White..... Convertible.... Lebaron. Glad I didn't get my hopes up.
Anyone else get this "lebaron" mistaken idenitity? I've had someone comment a few times that "I saw a car just like yours the other day" only to find out they saw a Lebaron. Not sure why it pisses me off, but it does. To have my vert compared to a lebaron is insulting

Everyone seems to mistake my car for an 80s/90s Corvette or mid 90s Mustang (WTF?). I'm sure the exhaust note has something to do with it. I get occasional Porsche 944 confusion as well, though that is pretty understandable.
I do of course get the perpetual "how did you make it RWD" questions. I generally just tell them I had Mazda make it RWD for me.
My original V8 swap had custom "Mazda" logo'd valve covers. I managed to convince quite a few people that I had a very rare Mazda V8 in it.
Different funny story. Friend of mine has a VERY clean 10AE (LS1 swapped), and pulled into a rather high end bar a while back. He gets out of the car and some girl walks up and says "Oh, look at you, you think you're all that with your old *** Ferrari". One of the few mistaken identities that isn't particularly insulting.

People have cut around the block multiple times to grasp what they were seeing. People keep asking my neighboors if it's "for sale" instead of asking me.......
My other neighboor asks "you got it right yet?"
Obviously there's NO PLATE on it and it hasn't moved anywhere and i'm turning wrenches on the thing with parts sitting INFRONT of the car, no bumpers or anything..... *facepalm*
My mother's manfriend said "so what happens if the rotary doesn't fire up? Is there any engine you could put in it's place?" I said "yeah, sure.....lots." I was waiting for him to offer me up a sbc 350 or an sho motor he has at his shop and said "If i were to put anything besides a rotary in it it would probably have to be fuel injected and make good torque."
I put emphasis on the fuel injection because all he knows is carb tuning.....which i respect but dont come over to my house and try to convert me to putting a carbed v8 into my car. WHen i had my eclipse turbo it was "ooooh, turbocharger. Cool stuff. So you're going to blow it up?"
*facepalm*
I suppose that's why he and my mom get along. Old school american v8 muscle and my mom used to have an sa22.... ******* traitor.
