My Neighbor's RX-7

Shame, huh?

It's been parked on the street for months. I never see it move. It disappeared for awhile, then came back with a temp tag. Then disappeared... Now it's back with no tag.

I wish I knew who owned it. I never see anyone near it.

Brace yourselves...

It looks much better in pics than it does in person.

someone needs to prepare a care package for that FD, or just plain and simple CARE FOR IT!

It's a block away from me, so I pass it on the way to work and back. I always slow down and try to see if there's a for sale sign on it, but so far, no luck. My brother (Brilliant_06) wants to buy it, too. I just don't know whose car it is. (The house is cut into apartments, so don't know who the owner would be.)

It makes me sad to see it, since that car obviously kicked *** once.

I would leave a tag under the wipers saying I'll take it for $2k cash right now and see if they do it. That would be the steal of a lifetime.

It's a shame for sure

Someone needs to have their nuts chopped off because they cut the ones off the FD's pride.

I love the lines of the FD RX-7. Wonder what the story is behind that car? Definitely needs a change of ownership if nothing else.

GRAB THAT, whoever the owner is obvously showing neglect, i bet a quick cash offer would pick it up. for a couple thousand that would be an awesome project, it doesnt look to far gone either.

as for finding that crazy owner, get to knocking you've got nothing to loose.

I don't think so. It had temp tags once, then it disappeared. When it came back, the temp tag was gone. I had a friend staying with me once, and when he left, his car sat out front for awhile. It had very expired tags. Cops finally came by and put a sticker on it, telling me to move it. Some random dude bought it for next to nothing before their deadline. Surprised that hasn't happened to the 7.

I really think it belongs to someone who lives in that apartment house. I just never see anyone near it, so I can't narrow it down. I don't know if they eventually want to fix it up, or if they just don't realize what they have. If I had any extra money, I WOULD buy it from the owner. ...Whoever that may be.

I'm willing to bet that the engine probably needs to be rebuilt. Along with everything else.

You would probably sink more money into it to fix it up than it would cost you to buy one in better condition. Until they become collector's cars there is no reason to buy one in that poor condition.

In pure honesty, it probably doesn't run/run right. But yeah it would still be cool to pick up especially if they don't know what they have.

Well the obvious thing to do is to leave a note with something that they can contact you with like an email or maybe a cell phone number. Even if you don't want to buy it, just do it because of the curiosity. Ahh... The suspense!
