Default my second car, 1975 RX3-SP....

early rotaries took such a bad rap for rotor seal failure, Mazda sold the rx3 with a 75k mile guarantee ! At about 72k miles I decided it was time to cash in.... 8-) I'd drive it around with those tiny rotors spinning to their 10k max. Couldn't kill it though... another fun thing was to blip the throttle at idle and let it gas itself up and wait for the kaboom !
was a pretty fast car. I could sort of stay with a buddies 240z up to around 130, right steve ? 8-)

car was DEADLY in snow... 8-(

Default The RX3 is highly sought after these days by both street racers and SCCA

ITA/ITB folks. Uber-light car.

Best thing about the rotary was that 2 guys could easily lift one out of the frame.
