Worlds Smallest Rotary

My kid just turned 18. He drives a blue FB. One of his high school friends found this in Ebay and gave it to him as a birthday present. ‘Pop the hood Dad’ he tells me. And sure enough… the iconic blue air filter housing!

Ha! I would have not known, except the kid told me to turn it upside down and shake it.

Johnny Lightning released a few versions of the RX-7 over the last year. I have a few but didn't recognize this one. Looks like I'll have to find one and add it to the collection!

My wife gave me a Johnny Lightning Red one that matches the one I picked up recently. I will check to see if the hood opens! LoL
