Who's white V8 FC is this?
???????????????????????????? - ????!
It says it came from California.
Starting price is a little over $18,000.
I'm super curious to know what they actually paid for it.
The price includes an RHD parts car with no engine or transmission.

Eh... It's a blessing and a curse in many ways. It costs much more to actually keep an RX-7 running and street legal here. And you have to buy everything online because there are no real car parts stores here.

Super Autobacs is basically useless for doing actual repairs, unless you special order parts.
And the stuff they do have is absurdly overpriced. Castrol GTX is like $40 per 4L...
An alignment or a single dyno pull there will set you back $120.

Come now, you still have O'Reilys and AutoZones... right?

Would you say this is factual because of where you are specifically in Japan, and not Japan entirely?

nope! long gone. they can't survive in silicon valley, we do have a nice cupcake place though.
i'm funning you a little, i'm in the center of silicon valley, so 'next town over' is factually correct, but its not far.

If it is anything like DFW, you can go from one city to the next and not know it. I go through 5 cities on my commute to work and there isn't a break in the concrete except from where a tornado made one the day after christmas.

here in Indiana you cant throw a rock without hitting a Autozone, Advance Auto, and ORileys. Infact where I work (super small town) they just opened a new ORileys and an Autozone with in a 20 second drive of each other.

Smells like 2 stroke.
Here in KCMO there's an Autozone/Advance/O'Reilly/Carquest/Napa about every five feet. The sad thing is, they don't stock anything; even for my Camaro. It's always "We'll have that for you tomorrow; gotta get it from the warehouse down town."
I prefer Napa but their prices are outrageous. Customer service is top notch, and they will gladly special order. O'Reilly's is hit and miss, and Autozone is nearly useless for parts. - "Your car is a rotary? Sounds like your coolant leak might be a bad headgasket." I might as well go to wal-mart.
I found a local mazda dealer that gives a reasonable discount to rotorheads though.
