50% of the time. I look at how much different my life would be if I hadn't bought this car.

Wow almost 80% of you FD owners are under 30.

I was 20 when i got mine in April of 2007 for cheap from auction almost done with bodywork, preparing to take it to the paint shop and its going to be on a road soon.

Also up to day I have never drove an RX-7 in my life before. don't even know how i end-up getting it. But i like it so is almost all of my friends.

So this thread does indeed back up the theory that the FD is getting into the hands of younger drivers nowadays.
I know a few people that have had their FD longer than I have - waiting on them to post if they are even on here still.
Gene, the car's looking great btw.

I had been 24 for a month when I got mine last fall -- it was supposed to be my birthday present to myself. Paid for it in full -- after lots of savings, living thrifty, etc.

A couple months later I paid for a rebuild and street port, too. I'm sure after break in is done, there will be lots more money into it, too.

It would be nice if you answered even vaguely, for the under 18 owners, how you afforded a FD.


Thank you
I am fortunate enough to have wealthy parents. They bought the fd, i have put over $25,000 of my own money into aftermarket items. Funding was sourced through working at a very high end restaurant making $400+ a night. I also ***** my self-out occasionally.

Either way, I'm one of the few people I know that has one of my dream cars already. Actually the only people I know that already have their dream car are all rotary owners.
Your dad charges you interest?
