Finally...
Aside from a brief stint in my old coworker’s garage and an even more brief stint in my parents garage, my speedway white z06 has lived in an apartment parking lot and a condo parking lot for the past 8 years. Finally closed on a house today, and the very first thing I had to do was park the corvette inside.
my RX7 will be its garage mate, but no one cares about that so it’s still sitting outside my work to be driven over some time next week.

believe it or not I’m not a big fd fan. Mines an 88 turbo ii which aside from the 10ae rx7 is my favorite rx7 ever made.

Used to have an fc as well. Car was hella fun. I sometimes think of getting another one... maybe one of these days.
I LS swapped it, but it was still a ton of fun.

Congrats. Looks like a big garage too. Room for more cars. Or projects. Or karate.

Congratulations on the house. There's probably nothing better than having enough garage space. I'll let you know if I ever get to that point.

I’ve owned an ‘84 GSL-SE and a ‘90 GLX, both fun cars, especially the GSL-SE.

yeah mine is an LS/t56 car now which has been 85% complete (running/driving but not well sorted) for the past 8 months. Need a garage to get the rest of the work done, so I’m glad I can finally do so.

Congrats on buying a very nice garage with a house attached! Now you get to decorate that awesome space with some posters, signs, cabinets, shelves.... send pics of your progress!
