pics - monster truck rx-7 on ebay

Someone's either really good at photoshop or fried their brain from nitro fumes. Speaking of Jesse James, has anyone kicked his @$$ yet for the $20 half-baked sand rail wanna be convertible? He spent more on the bullets and Mazda Recycling got .003 seconds of airtime by donating a perfectly good Series V Cabriolet.

At least in this case, an rx-7 avoided the crusher... which is why we don't mind the V8 junk yard conversions.

LOL.

Maybe I can take my GXL body and strap onto my Toyota 4X4.

I've always wondered what 4 low would be like powered by a rotary.

You are looking at it like a S4 is a limited production vehicle or something! If it was a 10th AE.. yeh, id be just a tad lit... but come on, its MOST LIKELY a N/A with a TII hood, 88, how many S4s were sold? Over 100K? Come on, there are PLENTY more, one more isnt going to hurt.

Alrgiht, I'm inclined to agree with PRN...

But anything with "Fear This" on it starts to lean a little more towards gay.

Yeah, that would balance it out a little. And like I said, I wonder what four low would be like in rotary. My toyota's 22re generates a shitload of low end torque in 4 low...Don't really know what a 20B would do?

can i ask a qusetion?

Why do you guys "suddenly" hate the rx-7 because it's different? You act as if the rx-7 is God, and that if you do anything not related to it being a rotary, it's a POS , or it's ****, etc etc... come on guys...

It's mainly being CREATIVE, and it appears some of you lack that portion..... in your mind...

Awww so what.

That car could have had its motor blown and who knows what could have brought it to becoming a 4X4.

My stripped GXL is looking real nice to put on to my PU right about now....LOL

or my 87 toyota corrola.
