That's what they want. These script kiddies love to waste people's time. I love to catch the little wiggers and pull off their side-ways baseball caps with vice-grips.

Incidentally for the folks who are not real familiar with RX-7's, that appears to be a genuine Spirit-R. Of course my 93 CYM is about 5 times rarer and my MBM PEP about 10 times rarer.

Heck no and I'd have bought a half dozen or so of the Spirit cars given the chance. They really are the *****.

Didya see the steering wheel on EBay? A Spirit Momo costs $2K while a similar Momo without the MAzda emblem costs $2-300. I think that these folks really see us (loyal RX-7 owners) coming price wise and really jack it to us.
