Did you see that the window got broken?

Have you seen The Rock? Where the REPU got hit?

My wife actually noticed that the pickup that gets hit by the runaway streetcar in "The Rock" is a REPU, and brought it to my attention.

I love my wife...

I believe there is an rx-2 in the Movie "colors" It's in the chase scene where they are chasing that girl though the alley when they hit the tv. Anyways, If I remember correctly they sideswipe the rx2, I think it's yellow.

Yeah, it's funny because I used to watch that movie all the time when it first came out on video but I wasn't into rotaries back then. Then one day a couple of years ago I saw it on cable and saw the rx-2 and was trippin out. They show it soo fast I almost wasn't sure if it was a 2 or not.

Wacky, I sold my 510 so I guess I don't need it anymore. thanks anyways. Maybe some day I will do a rotary 510. Alex, the guy who had the yellow rx3 parked next to your car at sevenstock is hooking me up with a free 4 door rx2 so I'm gonna stick my motor in that. Hopefully it will be running for sevenstock 7.
