Ray - Just a couple There's also a whole video following me through The Dragon and you can watch em' swing through the curves. I haven't ran them in a while, but the mount I made is still on the car, and they're close by.

That sweet 12A of yours will remember every #$%#$%$%$##$#%$# you said and get you back later.

Hey Donnie, do you have any shots of Mr. Wankel with those chrome coated accoutrements hanging from the back bumper?

Ah crap!

Lol, that's okay, I often refer to mine as "The Mazda" despite the fact that my winter car is also a Mazda (2010 Mazda 6)

They officially both have names though: The Rx7 is Naomi and the 6 is Saya. They're both female names because naval tradition always used female names for ships, and they're Japanese names for obvious reasons.

at 29 years, that is really really old for a sportscar, so it needs all the help it can get.

Exotic cool names seem to bring misfortune. Dumpy names not so much. Just like never buy a used car that has a new paint job.

I've been calling mine just "the RX Seven" since I've had it (22 years) , and I'm not going to change what has worked

My wife swears that Christine hates her. I think she's jealous.

Little Red Bastid (aka 'LRB')
I think I have bastardized her enough with SA hardware from all the world export markets so she can no longer be considered a US-spec 'virgin', if you'll excuse the mixed metaphors...and then there are the RX-8 seats....
maybe one can spot some of the, er, bastard-ly bits in the pic... (not you Banzai, you know too much!)

I have named my '82 GSL (Blackey) she was gold then painted a bad paint job black. She was an automatic now a manual. With a '79 engine. Had to toss out the 'ol automatic '82 engine because it had low compression in the front rotor. Probably because one apex seal was probably stuck.
