Some pics of my baby. She's an 84 GS with 62k original miles on her. Everything is original still. I spent $3k on her.

The original owner had bought it for his son's 16th birthday, but his son was an ungrateful moron and wanted a Mustang instead. The owner's response? "I ain't buying you a Mustang. Good luck buying one." The car then sat in his garage for most of its life before I bought it. He took proper care of it, drove it once a week and had regular maintenance done on it. His ride was an 84 GSL-LE.

She's had a long journey from Pennsylvania to Virginia, and now from Virginia to Florida. But she has good company with my RX-8 in the garage.

Close enough

Not even close. Everyone knows the SA is the best and lightest of the 1st gens. FBs were
just tortured animals subjected to bean counter efficiencies which resulted in over heating
(beehive oil cooler anyone?), easily damaged, ugly bumpers, and cheaper, uglier interiors.

Yeah, I'm not biased at all

I don't have enough jack stands to own an FD.

:edit: not an elitist. Unlike TGF I freely admit that FBs are almost as good as an SA.
