People are fascinated with how a rotary engine works and are always excited to see one that's open and on display. Part of the reason we love our cars is the incredible engine!

My last job was in a cubicle farm and I kept a blown rotor on my desk. Easy way to find all the car people.

I am thinking of taking the Beastie Boys VW emblem worn around the neck… and raising it to a blown rotor.
