Jimmy Kimmel drove a first gen

Hey Guys,

I was listening to Howard Stern yesterday,and he had Adam Carolla on the show.During the interview Adam(A certified car guy)was telling Howard about how he meet Jimmy,and while he was doing so he montioned Jimmy had just started on teh radio in Los Angeles,and he was driving a "Piece of **** 82 RX-7". Now I don't agree that any RX-7(especially a 1st gen) is a piece of ****,but I thought it was cool that a guy I like watching on TV owned a car similar to me.Now I suppose it isn't anything special that anyone had an RX-7 let alone a D level celebrity,but it is pretty cool any way.Just thought I would share.

Chris

I take it as meaning that it was a badass and sexy 82 RX7 that was in shitty shape. Cause who could call a first gen a piece of ****? Honestly.

Reminds me of the time me and the rest of the SHO community found out that Conan O'Brien had a '92 SHO. One of the funniest segments I've ever seen on that show.

"I call this the ranch. Know why? Because that's where my 220 horses live."

Best friend is a Zcar guy and when I told him about my new car he said the same kinda remark. But then followed up with "that's because I drive a Z..."
We will still drive together and I let him lead most times...The best radar detector I have ever used has been on the brake lights of his car

Driving in the U.P. of Michigan can be alot of fun!
