funny piston people

I was at a bar last night, and a guy was checking out the mazda, he thought it was a porsche at first. When he found out what it was, he was like "OH, one of those, I've heard of them. That doesn't have an engine does it?" of course I asked what the hell he was talking about and he responded "Well does it have an engine or a rotory"????
I almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard

thats prety funny I didn't know we had no engines. Next time you see that guy tell him you're driving off elctromagnetic currents running in parallel lines that move the car over the ground.....I just confused myself on that one.

Some guy was trying to tell me it had one of those things that go around, with hand gestures and all. I just looked at him for awhile gesturing and telling me over and over again 'around'.

I then realized the old dude wasn't going senile and he was talking abount the motor. I told him it's a rotory and we then we smiled at each other.

I've had quite a few people think it's a porsche. I suppose in some weird way it does kind of resemble one, but not really.

Better not buy an RX-7 unless you know who Mr. Wankel is... Remember, those rotory engines are made by aliens, and are not for the faint of heart.
