I make plenty of dough now and the RX-7 is just a hobbie. Some rich kid says "Daddy I want, I want!, I need" and gets one bought for him on his 16th Birthday. That's gay man. you don't deserve it.
Some of us are more fortunate then others, thats how life is, deal with it - no need to be a dick. I didnt beg for anything, he said heres $10,000 buy what car you want. Their are 1000s of other kids who got bmw's, mercedes etc for their first car, or atleast where i lived, i probably had the cheapest car at my school. Saying i dont deserve something is arrogant and spiteful, I have accomplished a lot more then most people my age, so get off my back.

Ever since I was a little kid I was obsessed with the RX-7 but until 12 or 13 years old I never knew what the hell a rotary engine was. I always though the RX-7 was a regular go fast motor. Then I saw the triangles and was like... OMG WTF?!?! Then I did research on the motor and came to the conclusion that it was the most awesomest thing EVAR!

I was 63 yrs,bought it last year.It followed a a number of 2nd gen RX7s including 3 TurboIIs,and an RX8 which I turboed---but it still was not fast enough---so I went back to the real car.What is really interesting was that I almost bought a 95 TT new in 1996 but I couldn't get the deal I wanted.

I think this is so one-sided to the younger guys/gals because the older guys/gals don't come on the forums or not very often.

For the cars that were purchased @ around 8K, how was the car's shape when you first got it? Was it reliable enough to take you places and you didn't have to worry about it breaking down?

Why would you want to edit a post that makes you sound like a drug dealer or a pedophile?

Yes kids the colorful candy is in the back of the van!
