UpShift: Collectible Classic

So here I am reading my latest issue of Automobile Magazine when I get to one of my favorite sections near the end and what do I find!? Lo and behold! an amazingly well written article that states the very core of why I love these cars along with pictures of an amazing SA!

Hey thanks for posting this! Most unusual for a main stream magazine to devote this much space for somebody to ramble on about his obvious passion, or rather our collective passion!

Is the same Don Sherman that wrote for Car and Driver for years? I suspect it is.

C&D always had a soft spot for our cars. They sponsored 2 speed runs at Bonneville
for the 1st and 2nd gen RX7s and I think Don piloted both of them. Its nice to see
he kept one all these years for himself.

Come on Don post up! I know some C&D personnel frequent this site. Go tell Don
we are talking about him. Maybe his ears are already burning
