The day after I returned home from my bone marrow transplant and recovery for leukemia back in 2002, I took the 7 out and hit triple digits just to feel more alive!

its been 7 months for me since i last drove her, and that was just 30 miles. i had only driven her maybe 2 or 3 times a month for the 3 months before that. so over the last 10 months, ive driven the rx7 a total of maybe 10 times.

I've owned my first Mazda (95 FD) for 9 days. Havn't gone a day without some seriously "spirited" driving.

During my lunch brake today I was able to test the limits and spun the rear-end out a little on acceleration (mid-turn). I also initiated a slight spin under hard straight-line braking, which was a new experience coming from an Mr2.

Can't wait to get her to the track!
