Man. I agree with everything you say.
Except for your RX-whatever.
The Mazda Rx-7 was (and still is!) light years ahead of it's time! The
bloody car has NO PISTONS, but it's little 1.6 liter rotary engine will eat
any Mustang 5.0 for breakfast. The Rx-7 isn't just an every day plain jane
hairdresser's car. I mean, come on, how many hairdressers redline at 7k?
The Miata is a "dress down" car for rich people, at least in my area. The
people who want a break from their Lexii, Mercedes, and me-too-SUV's. The
Mx-2/Probe is nice, but is a teenager's car. The Rx-7 is a nice no-BS all
out fast car, that doesn't try to tone itself down. It's fun. No, it's not
an LBC, but it has a lot of charm for itself.
Oh well, enough of my soapbox oratory. I'm sure the lynch mob will disagree
with me, tell me I'm a heathen, etc. Flame me in private mail.
