the other night, it had finshed raining, but the street was glossy from water. I got to see my FC roll down the street to me. My girlfriend took it to the store. ITs dark out. the street lights reflecting on the road. first I hear her comming due to the stainless exhaust. her head lights and running lights bounce from the imperfections in the road, while the street lights trace her lines.
I love these cars a little too much mabey?

You know you love your FC when your girlfriend opens the door to see your new pair of non-reclining Corbeau buckets and a pair of 4 pts.
"I'm not riding in those!!" she says

"Then you're walkin," you reply

you know you love your FC when...

1. you've been driving her for more than a year now

2. you've already spent few $$$$ for repairs and still keeping her!

3. you complain about her everyday but don't want to let go

4. you've been beaten by few cars and still brags that you have a fast car

5. you want to turbocharged your NA instead of trading it in for a TII

6. everytime you step down your car and walk away, you look back and stare at your car for a moment

7. you think that the FCs are the best import car ever made

8. you look for an rx-7 meet every week to show off your car

9. there is not a day when you don't drive your car

10. you spend more time on this forum than your girlfriend

11. you stop typing here and search for another thread...

When you kiss your car before leaving it in one of those damned college parking lots for a week, and almost shed a tear!

When after 3000 miles without an oil change you yourself start to feel sick and you keep looking at the odometer every 5 seconds and tell your baby "its ok, just a few more miles"

When you tell your girlfreind that there is another woman in your life, and her name is Rexanne.

...when you won't let the restaurant host seat you unless it's in a booth by the window so you can look out and admire her.

When you watch the gas station guy filling up your car like a hawk. (Full serve only, in NJ)

When you will only go to a nice classy restaurant if the valet lets you park your own car.

When you aviod mazda dealerships at ALL costs.

When the anwser to the question: "can I drive your car?" is a firm and definitive NO!

You consider the clutch pedal and extension of your leg.

You put your RX-7 on jack stands and lay underneath it to relax.

I like this one:

WHen your GF calls you at 11:30 and you say call me at 1:00 and I might be done with the mods. THis after five days of removing intake and replacing injector parts bleeding about half of your total blood catching a cold because of so little sleep that your immune system is too weak. Then 1:00 comes around and you say I am done but could you give me another hour to talk to her and tuck her in and maybe read to her a little. Then your mom comes outside and yells at you cuz it is 1:30 in the morning and you are still out there with the FC and you go I am almost done mom.

When you lose all compression in your engine. Luckily you are only a block away from your house and are able to get it back to the driveway, only for it to never start again. What a wonderful car.

Well, at least she got me home!

Thank God that the cancer society tows for free when you donate your car. I kind of feel bad though, like someone with cancer really needs to be putting up with an RX-7!! I wonder what they really do with the car?

when you buy your car for WAY more than the market value is, driver her 1900km's and she doesn't get you the last two miles, with a blown turbo, you get the turbo replaced. then the engine goes....
This is when you love her and declare it your wedding vow to get her running again!

Oh yeah she is just soooooo beautiful!!! just want to eat her up!

When you hear her talk to you - "I could really use a 3rd gear redline right now."

Oooh baby "yes" - "yeess"
