I am very experienced with cars, but only with piston based cars. I love the rotary, but as of now dont have the time to figure out how to work on them. I could use a bigger vehicle such as an SUV or something, because I am in a band and need guitar/amp room.

the rotary, i think is just as easy to work on as a piston powered car. i agree, an suv would be ok if you are in a band. what are you considering

whatever i can get, i get $15k when i graduate from highschool for a new/used with warantee car (grandad's will) which is in another year. Until then I do have a 1954 Nash Metropolitan i can drive that I fully restored. Its all the vaccum lines, and high-price of parts that bothers me, its in many ways easier than a piston engine to work on. I rebuilt my friend's 2nd gen rx-7 and it was rather simpler (bad grammer) than the 1st gen, not having the rats nest and crap. Anyone interested?

It might help if you listed a price that you would sell it for. More pics might also be helpful. Good luck with selling it and with everything else.

Ha ha ha, the movie was cancelled in action, they lost thier budget, sadly. It sucks, we didnty even get to shoot the scene. I have NO idea what i could get or ask for, the Yellow book calls her a classic towards $2000... is that good or should i look for more/less. I dont know where to start. I love Rosie, and will buy another RX later in life but for now i need something else.
