What are you most thankful for, 7-wise? (Beating the holiday rush)

Hey, if someone else can get away with posting up the "Christmas Wish" thread (even tho we have yet to hit Thanksgiving), I'm going to beat the rush.

For me, I'm most thankful that my 13B is running true and strong and hasn't decided to keel over on me. Plus, when I was doing a once-over quick-clean on it yesterday, I was thankful that it had hardly any real stuck parts on it's adornments.

SA/FB wise, what are you thankful for?

I'm thankful so many were made with so many different engine options. They started with the '70sesque thermal reactor and moved on to the cat with a leaner, better carb and electronic ignition which can be installed in older engines. Then Mazda went to EFI so we can use those parts too.

The 1st gen was the greatest rotary car Mazda ever made.

Thankful that the 1st owner of 27 years took such care of my sa that very minimal restoration was needed. I see some of these projects that just make my head spin.

I'm thankful that I got mine two years ago, at the time when they were at their cheapest around here. They're starting to get expensive now.

I'm thankful that after 13yrs my apex seals are still holding up on my 3rd engine.
Only have 65,000 on this engine. Almost 230,000 total on my '79 though.

I'm thankful for a decent running 7, even with a stock 12a, it's still a great car. I'm also very thankful for you guys on the forum! I know I'm very lazy and don't use the search function enough, but I try! I'm very thankful that I finally am living my dream rotary style.

i'm thankful for finding a new 7 and making it home with it in one piece. She may need a rear end and possibly a motor, but damn it's nice to have a stereo, interior, and no rust.
