^what he said ....

i love this! thanks for posting. i must admit that as much as i liked the Rx-3s, i never really dug them as much as say, the Rx-2, but this car is HOT!!!! the color, accents and wheels are perfect. looks very well put together.

probably my favorite part ...

Jay: "... rotaries aren't known for gas mileage ..."
Savant: *laughs* "We're probably wasting gas as we're talking."

i was dead when i heard that. seems like a great guy to hang with.

I just saw you and your RX-3, and some old guy in your video lol. Dude, your 3 is breathless! I just loved everything about it. If I looked up clean build, you would be there.

heh, it's all in the tune. i was getting just shy of 24mpg at nearly the same power level as he has but well, no one buys a rotary for the gas mileage... lol


i kinda figured jay would know more about rotaries, being a "car guy", but either he played dumb or he really isn't as much of a car guy as he plays off to be. rotary being the odd one out, it's kinda hard not to want to know more about them, especially if you own one of the first ones ever made.

In the Cosmo video he made a few years ago he repeats the "never use synthetic" line and mentions that installed glass pack mufflers are installed. I think rotaries are an intrigue for Leno, but not a passion.

This was a great episode. This is one of my regular YouTube shows that I make a point to watch, you were one of the best guests I have seen on the show. Most people come off as awkward in front on the camera. You are hilarious and had great chemistry with Jay. Your Rx3 is incredible as well. Very tastefully done. Made me feel better about my going on 5 year fb build when you mentioned how long you've had the car. Thanks for a great episode of JLG. Ill probably watch this one a couple more times at least.
