So I can also use that same logit that MAZDA WANTED our engines to fail due to:
inadequate cooling system, too small of an IC; cheap plastic AST, an air intake that pulled air from the IC at low speeds, and emergency cooling fans that did not come on until the water temp was within 20 degrees of housing warpage.
Yep, those engineers ALWAYS know what they are doing. Should I go on and mention more of their perfect designs.
The RX-7 as a whole is a great car, but Mazda did rush it into production with many mistakes.

....maybe had I used a oil based metal-flake gold paint?????...
