washed the RX today

Comments accepted. Pictures don't show cheesy monza exhaust. Hey, it was only $200(lastyear) delivered from JCwhitney. Sure beats no mufflers.

Playing with new camera! Someone please explain to me how to post a picture instead of attaching.

Not bad for a 12 year old car.

Try the Photo Gallery

Click the third link from the left at the top of the page (just under the RX7Club.com banner) "Photo Gallery"

Then go to the 2nd Gen area. Worked for me.

Sharp looking car by the way!

I didn't notice how bad the pictures are with the house doors open and my winter car. I will have to retake pictures without junkboxes on lawn and in driveway. This should reduce the size of the pictures considerably. And, I need to practice my cropping/editing skills.

I'll retake/send the pics with better resolution later this week. It is dark out already.
Geez, I gotta get the landlord to recoat-tar the driveway. I might just have to do it myself(tomorrow??).

Buy a sawsall and cut the roof off. Then, add 500lbs to the trunk. That should slow it down enough

I love my car but it is yearning for a T2 transplant.

I bought it for my 7 year old daughter. I only see her two weekends a month. She lives about an hour away. Rhode Island has some stupid law. Kids have to sit in the back seat. Some liberal jacka$$ over here had her kid killed by an airbag(not by dumb parent crashing). You know, the type of parent that is drinking a coffee, driving, talking on the phone(all at the same time), and letting the kids hop around inside the minivan/SUV. But, the law excludes two-seaters and such. This way I can actually communicate with my brat while we drive. That about sums up the usage/purpose of the car.

DeadRX7Conv,
I agree with you on the topic of distactions today. The reason that we have so many crashes than before is that it requires less of us to be driving now than before. Think about it - before auto trannies and cruise control, if you were in your car, you had to pay attention all the time. You spent a lot more time actually driving. But now, with traction control and all that ****, the car basically drives itself, so drivers get distracted by other **** like cellphones (their electronic ring makes me feel like my head is cracking open), and crash. To solve the problem - take away the speed limits and all the automated crap in the car. YOU'RE THE DRIVER, NOT THE ECU.

That car looks like it's from the original Mazda sales brochures.

As for automated stuff, I think people don't realize what they're missing with today's cars. Also, a lot of people effectively really only want a personal train ride.
