That's funny, smart boy. Here is something for you to learn: I am one of the original 8 members of the latest Houston RX7 Club. I designed the logo at the top of the home page and that is my old silver 1993 RX7 in the home page picture from one of the early dyno days I helped put on. My silver car was stolen by an a$$hole who was preying on club members and I decided to lay low and keep my car away from the street scene as it is a track car only.

Sorry I forgot about MazMax. Brian and the guys do good service.

Guam - Population aproximatley 140k including military.
USDM FD's - 6, Including mine that I bought here.

If I can keep people from doing anymore than stealing my side vents, a**holes, it will be brought back stateside in 8 months to Ohio.

That is unless I can get one of the car importers here to get me a JDM FD. Their prices are much more reasonable than Motorex's. There are already 8 Skylines here registered in the US and a few JDM FC's, but they won't take any more orders for another 3 months.

Yes, I heard about that debacle that occurred several years ago. It’s truly unfortunate.

The Houston club isn't the same as it was then. There are good, knowledgeable people now. Keith and Brian are the only ones who attend now from that era.

The past can not be changed, we can only work on the presant and the future. Maybe I will see you out at one of the club events sometime.

There are 25ish in the St. Louis area. Here are a few of them at my house. I know of at least 10 people who were unable to make it to my BBQ.

I'm thinking about taking my car to Israel. I'll probably be the only FD there. Cars there are small b/c the gas is expensive.

I'm in the Central Jersey area and I've seen about 6 different FD's here.

Plenty have been wrecked. You can't go one week on here without seeing a "totaled my 7" post. Fires got the best of a number of them. Overall I bet there are somewhere between 3000 and 3500 left. I know people on the coasts see FD's with some frequency but I think that if you get into the middle states you could go years without seeing them.

P.S. this thread is old as ****

We could use the same method to count the number of fish in a lake as to count the FDs. You catch 2000 fish, tag them and release them. Wait long enough for the fish to mix in with the population and catch another 2000. If 1 in every 100 fish is tagged then there are 200,000 fish in the lake. Just gotta tag 2000 fds......

I live in a crappy little town in Washington state, and there are at least 3 here alone. Theres another that someone drives to the same school that I go to. Those are just the ones within 10 miles of me. I see about one every week or two driving down the freeway, usually different ones each time.
