I think it may have to do with the popular anual event called Sevenstock? Everyone procrastinates. Brace yourselves!

I should hope not since 2 or your 3 RX-7s are at Rotary Evolution right now. By the way, that was a hell of a deal you got! Beautiful white FC!

****.. i dont think there is a part on a car i haven't rebuilt. i've rebuilt transfer cases, transmissions(auto and manual), differentials, both types of engines bah!

rotaries remind me most of 2 stroke engines, which is why i love them so much.
