Got mine out a few days ago.
If I had a garage in my driveway I would have had it out a month ago.

I just got off the phone with the insurance company so I'll be out this weekend for a spin to the local MTO office to get new stickers. I had it started a couple of weeks ago...just to see if it still would.

I had to convince her to start.

"come on baby...come on baby...let's go for a spin...."

She eventually started with a large cloud of smoke. Time for an engine rebuild but not before I get a little fun in.

The 79 , was running around in Guelph area when I was back there on April 4th . ( but parked during that Ontario snow storm on the mnday and tuesday) . Fresh wax, new seats , and a new header

I am back in winnipeg now and the 89 wont be out until the streets are swept here , likely 2nd week of May.

Yes, I have two Rx7s , in two different cities, 2000 km apart.

Mine's been out since mid March. Replaced the rear calipers and rotors, drove it for a week, blew the transmission, replaced the transmission, driving it again. Boost controller this weekend, 500+ RWHP next weekend.

I saw the SA at RPM the other weekend when I was there to pick up my new apex seals. Nice car. I put my car away during that nice snow storm and drove the F150. It works much better in that white crap.

I'm saving money on gas by driving the FC. It sips fuel compared to my huge *** truck. Instead of between $50and $60 a week on fuel I'm down to $30. Go rotary!
