Unhappy I am now just a troll.

I sold my car a little while ago. It now has a good home in Louisiana. TheTwinTurboRX-7 and gamble302 came up to look at it today, and Ben (TheTwinTurboRX-7) took it home with him.

I was kind of sad to see it go.

The car protested its departure by flooding itself in the Krystal parking lot and refusing to start for about 20 minutes.

I took one last picture while it was mine:



My nearly 5 year streak of RX-7 ownership is now over.

Its not mine.

I guess I will indulge you guys with my plan. Just for you DF

Take one 1974 Ford Pinto wagon and add a 2.3L turbo/T5 combo out of an 87-88 TBird Turbo Coupe. Mix with a T3/T4 hybrid turbo, an EEC tuner (maybe an SDS if I get my bike sold in time), lots of porting, big fat front mount, nice fuel pump, and an 8 inch rear diff. Mix thoroughly, add tuning and make lots of RWHP

Feel free to bitch me out now.

Why on earth would you get rid of your 7 for a PINTO?!?!?!?

Sure the pinto might be fast... but still boils down to the fact that its a pinto!

Oh well good luck to ya tho. Watch your piston engine go boing boing boing!

I have to admit, I am quite disappointed. 60's Fords, YES. 70's Fords..

Put that engine in a Ranger or something more worthwhile. I have agree, a Pinto is just too ugly.

Are you just tryng to make the biggest sleeper EVAR!?

Eville140 already did it, and it was faster than 85% of the cars here
