Well, I guess I just couldn't resist posting on this one. I'm 62, and a retired semiconductor company exec.
Bought my first 3rd Gen. brand new in '93 and had it 'till a guy totaled it 2 years ago. During that time, with the frequent help of this forum, I learned a lot more about fixing the car than I'd ever planned to need! Despite all that, I absolutely loved the car.
Bought another '93, (mostly stock), about 18 months ago and spent about $3K and vast amounts of time fixing multiple suspension, engine, electrical, oil leak and reliability issues. Now running great and I'm in love all over again! Also have a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo. Great machine, but the RX is still the absolute fun car.
Any other really old farts on here?
