viper 2010 mazda6 is a very nice car! i loved working on them even though they had that stupid spider recall on them
ive been watching my old youtube videos lol kinda holds me over, even though i know for a fact that my next FC wont be rotary powered, the 13b N/a just cant compete with a modern 4 cylinder motor a fully built honda K20 will make the same kind of power as a PP motor with nearly the same kind of revs and torque and will still idle and drive around the city like a stock motor
So i'll just v8 swap my car with an all aluminum truck motor super cheap,

It's a great road trip car, but I still miss my 7 for all the summertime fun! I haven't done any work on it, so I'm hoping that when the time comes it won't be too bad. It definitely looks like they left enough room to do most things. I still can't believe that spider recall though - I laughed out loud when I got that in the mail. Mazda, protecting us from the evils of spiders one car at a time!

I saw a very battered and beaten RX8 at Milton Canadian Tire yesterday. It was all covered in salt and dirty, it had what it looked like rust streaks on the body panels and bumper that seemed to emanate from the wheel wells and hatch, and the front bumper had a fence post sized indent in it, and a piece missing or cut out. Very sad.

The first 7 I bought was actually free, that was in 1997, I still have it and it's never turned a friggin' wheel. I've spent a small fortune on it yo yo employment be damned. Every spring I get asked if the car is coming out and have to explain that it will never see the road and until I get a bloody tow vehicle it's not even going to get to the track. Now that I think about it, my neighbour across the road has a vert and having lived here since September 2008 I've never seen it on the road or even heard it start up. Mehhh.
Just last night a friend of my wife's was staying over and discussed with wonder in her voice what a non-running car is doing in the garage. I said you like to read books, I like to tinker with cars.
