1st time riding in an FC!!

Well, today I took a look at the car today. Red '88 SE model. For the most part, clean inside and out. Just beautiful. I wanted to see how the car ran and went for a ride with the owner.

The first thing I noticed was the sound. UNBELIEVABLE!! Please note this is my first time I've actually ridden in a rotary powered car. I just love the turbine like sound and the sound is so intoxicating!

For some reason, the car pulled quite well. Probably just as strong, or better than my BMW 325. Probably due to the much lower weight. Anyways, the car was awesome and everything I expected to be and more.

After the ride, I left with a grin. I will be back later this week to do all the paper work and purchase the car. Can't wait!

I drove one for the first time in 1988, and I knew I had to get one. I was shocked to learn that the beautiful SE I was looking at was the base model. Fortunately for you, the 88 SE now sells for a lot less than the $17,300 that my test drive cost me. :)
