I don't really mean to be a an a$$, so don't take this the wrong way. But, being a corvette owner, why are hanging around a RX-7 forum? Did you once own one or plan to buy one? Nah, I don't own a 7, but a lot of my friends in Dallas are 7 owners. Since I moved to Little Rock.... Well, I guess I'm just looking for car folks to hang out with!

Hey at least you own the only true american sports car. Hehe, I appreciate the compliment, though I think Viper and Ford GT owners would take offense to that! And how do I turn my sig off?

There Ford GT will not be considered a production car due to them not producing enough units, and yes the viper is a sports car, but the vette will out handle it ;D

I have'nt heard from you in a while. I was wondering if something had happened to the GXL.

Hello. I'm Lauren and I am pretty sure I am the only female on this site. I am a Christian and a senior at Springdale High School. I currently drive a 2000 Ford Escort (lol.. I know it is funny... But I Gotta Love My Little Clown Car!) I really like cars, my favorites are Rx8s, Rx7s, And Zs. I don't know too much about the mechanical aspect of cars, however I am familiar with most types of cars.

Yeah I know... I plan on selling it before too long. The only down side to that is that I would problably have a car payment... since my car is payed off now... I'll prolly hold on to it for at least another year or two. I would love to have an Rx-8 or an Rx-7 (I am liking them more and more) but I am not sure if that would be the car I would choose... I don't know If I would rather have a good economical car or a sports car... I guess I will decide when I get to that point..

Welcome!! Glad to see a girl rotary enthusiast. BTW: Dont feel down about an Escort. I use to drive one myself, back in my really crazy days. Owning a rotary or basically any other "sport's car" means high maintenance and expensive parts. The Escort is both more reliable and cheaper on parts. Its just something that has to be sacrificed for the "cool" factor. If you did want something "sporty" but easy on the wallet, go with a Nissan 240sx.

who knows, she might be able to get a 1st gen for cheap if she saves up some money, and she wouldnt even have to sell her escort. that would be the ideal situation, have a beater daily driver, and a project 1st gen.

You don't want a car payment in college. Keep the Escort, go to school, and buy your dream car (ok, a "reasonable" dream car!) when you graduate...
