1st Gen Abomination!

Yesterday, I saw a 1st Gen in Tampa that is an abomination to all RX-7's!

It is purple and the bottom side sits about four feet off the ground, because the wheels are HUGE!

it looks like someone decided to go Mud Bogging and put Hellatious wheels and shocks on it.

Wish I had a pix.

There's a guy that lives close by me that has a red Fiero montster... truck. It does feel weird to sit next to him in a Jeep or something and look UP at a Fiero though.

I hope that thing still has the rotary in it, but somehow, I doubt it.

I'd say it's a chevy blazer frame. I wonder how they attatched it?? The Rx-7 doesn't have any body mounts like a typical framed car. I hope they didn't just lay it up ther and weld the spots that touched!

But on second hand if your the type of person that would put a FB on a truck frame I'm guessing that is how you attached it...

Too bad, even looks like a rust free one...
