Me and my freinds go out a few times a year to this red cross car place that sells beat peices of junk for a few hundred and we take them and just jump the **** out of them until they can't take it anymore.

I dont think I could ever do that to a rx7 though. Maybe to an rx8, but just because I think they look like crap.

It really doesnt matter when jumping a car. you just need to make it the jump then forget about all the parts on it.

Not in a 7, once i was on a pizza delivery in a rich *** neighborhood. i was looking for the road sign going about 35-40 at night and the speed bumps happen to also be golf cart crossings that are about 2 ft tall i caught nice air but the engine lost a few pistons or something.never ran again. screwed up my pizza too. thankfully it was a $500 toyota Paseo, it was my drunk drifter on rainy nights...

yea I have been close pretty much like everyone has with their first rx. I was driving down the main road in my town and I had just gone through an intersection after it turned green and i think the tires were a bit glazed over cause it had been sitting around for a while and it was raining. so anyways after getting it into third gear i think i gave it too much gas and the back end slid out and i was pretty much staring at the guy next to me freak out, so then I counter steared and then let off the gas and almost stalled it after getting it into control because I was a bit scared about crashing. but anyways since then i have had no problems and now i might upgrade to a turbo two!!

I just don't see the purpose in destroying (cause thats what going to happen to a 7 if you get pretty much anything over a couple feet off the ground) a perfectly good rx just for a few seconds of an arenaline rush.........
