I know I dont know you guys to well so i hope i dont offend anyone, but here is my advice. As far as rotarys go the FD is Michael Jordan, the FC is Steve Kerr and the RX8 is a little retarded kid that wears a helmet and blows snot bubbles. I would trade an FC and an RX8 in for a FD in a heart beat. An FD is one of those cars that pictures don't do it justice. They are just absolutely gorgeous and catch everyones eye as they pass by. I use to keep a collection of phone numbers in my ash tray that girls would leave on my windshield without ever seeing me. FCs are a good car, i had two in high school and college but they aren't in the same league as the 3rd gens and as far as an RX8, if you have an RX8 go to the first person you see and beg them to punch you in the throat. Just joking around RX8 owners and Chad. Oh if you do go the FD route make sure you have another car as a DD. Anyway thats my 2 cents, I am looking forward to meeting you guys at one of the get togethers.

^Agreed. The main way FDs are in a league above so many cars is because of how rarely they are seen. I see RX-8s and little rusty red FCs all the time, and they are just a little to common. But I almost nut my pants everytime I walk into my garage.

^I have to agree with you and reagree with myself. The black FD I saw on Moores Lane was the first one i had seen in 4 years of living in Nashville/Brentwood. Back when mine was actually running most people that saw it had know clue what it was and for the most part had never seen one. So was that your car i saw the other day? I forgot how good a stock one looks. I might just sell my Advans and go back to stock+1.

No it wasn't me in Brentwood. Although, I am getting a quote for some better tires to put on my stock rims. So I may be running them before the summer is out.
Oh and yeah, FDs do break, but I push my car all the time and there aren't alot of other cars that have the balance of being rare, timeless style, speed, performance, and price. If I lost mine I would give 2 RX-8's and a 20B FC for another one.

Haven't you tried selling your car a long time now? Not disagreeing completely, in my opinion the 3rd gen is a great looking car. Everyone has their own personal preferences. Just like the 3rd gen, the 1st & 2nd gens have a timeless style as well, but everyone has their own opinion. All cars have the potential to break, while some seem to have more inherent problems than others, these problems have been resolved through the support from others over the forums and other fellow enthusiast. Most of the Mid-Tenn group has seen how I drive my 7 and it has held up well. Preventative maintenance is key to the reliability of all our cars. Lastly, the mentioning of speed/performance and price, well speed cost money and how fast do you wanna go?? Any rotary can be a money pit. These are just my unbiased opinions.

Depends on what you're selling your cosmo to me for...
