im still the original owner of my 93 R1, purchased in 93.

I got married and had a kid,
I sacrificed alot. Gave up my buddies, gave up Club scene and h0es.
Sold the motorcycle and became a family man.

But one thing I held fast on was my FD. Every man needs aleast one toy.

had mine since June 2001, always been my secondary car. The longest she was down: 2 months. I've put 28k on her.
On those days when its being a bastid I consider selling, but then driving it makes me keep it. Love and hate, hehe.

I've owned mine for about 3 years. I've considered torching it a lot more that I've considered selling it... It's a love hate relationship!

Owned mine since 99. I suppose I would sell it if someone offered me top dollar for it.

I had my 79 RX-7 GS for 4.5 years, sold it several years ago and still miss it. I've had my 95 FD for almost 4 years now...no intentions of selling it.

Owned a 1991 for 2 years...sold it for college. Had dreams about driving it (every once in a while...I'm not that much of a freak) until I bought my FD. I had a dream about driving it again; woke up...instead of being disappointed because I sold it, stoked because I had a sexy rare fast one; that was the last dream of the FC.

Own a 1995, for over 3 years, 30k miles, can't sell.

Been Seq (1yr, Coolant Seal)
Been Non-seq (1yr, Apex Seal)
Currently Single (1yr+)
Going N/A (life)

I want 200k miles before I have to pull that motor again, Just have to keep her running long enough to start gathering parts...even with that track record, no regrets. When its good, just about undescribable
