Is there going to be an East coast Radwood at some point? I’d love to do a show where everyone appreciated my car and not just a few younger attendees, but I’m not willing to drive to California for it.

I still have the first car I paid for, a Civic my parents bought but I made all the payments, and the first car I bought, my rx7 that I paid cash for. One I’m amazed how well it’s held up with regular maintenance and the other I’m impressed with all of the work I’ve learned to do myself to keep it in good shape.

Same here. I can consume written copy much faster than a video and would rather read unless the video adds something that text wouldn’t.

What wheels are those? They look like S5 rx7 Turbo wheels but that would be sacrilege on a Porsche. I love the BBS RS style but the open lugs just don’t work with it.

Checked the Ranger I just got and my head is up against it too. Have really only driven it once so I didn’t notice.

My Civic’s headrest is set at the right height and most of the time the back of my head is on it. My rx7's headrests are restricted by the covers on them and are close to the right height but not where I can drive with them touching. I can’t think of any other cars I’ve driven where they were even close.

Not a happy experience for me. If I’m going to an automated wash it’s because I need to wash something off now and don’t have the time to do it right in my own driveway, and I feel bad about it. We’ve had heavy pollen for almost a month where I am and the good wax job I did on my rx7 last summer is enough that I can

He wanted to push it to the limit. As he said in the video the real mistake was messing with 2-step settings on a hot day, something most rotaries will never see, and definitely not a good idea.

He definitely comes across like that at times. From previous videos it’s clear that he wanted to see just how far he could push that engine without building it up any more and succeeded in setting the rotary half mile record with it. He’s also the guy building a 4-rotor AWD FD that I assume will be treated as less of

Detonation. I don’t know which rotors he was running, but FD rotors (and likely 20B) rotors are lighter than the older ones and the faces are more susceptible to dents from detonation. It’s not unusual for engines running high boost to have rotors that look like that and Rob was definitely running a lot of boost.

I’m going to be rebuilding mine soon. 30 years and 145k miles on a Turbo-II engine isn’t bad and other than the oil control rings being shot it still runs just fine and pulls hard. I’m just ready for more boost and no more oil smoke at redline.

I genuinely like Negronis, but I also genuinely like Aviations when apparently nobody else does.

I doubt the Sultan would notice given how well (poorly) most of the car’s seem to be cared for.

Now playing

Usually I’d agree but this seems like it would be as amazing as an RB26 rebuilt na and stuffed in a 240z. Since 400hp is presumably plenty in this car all the turbos are going to do is add weight and remove sound. It sounds great:

Until you lose your license and can’t drive.

I have coworker who owns one and she loves it. I don’t really understand given all the competition in the 3 row minivan but not a minivan segment, just can’t fathom Chrysler having the best one for the price.

Vermont syrup is better anyway :-p

In a world where all those things are designed for SUVs and large sedans they’re already difficult to use from a small sports car. I usually have to open the door or get out for ATMs and drive through as it is.

There are also giant waterbugs that live happily in northern states and southern Canada. If you’re like me and aren’t familiar with cockroaches they look very similar except for the large front legs and being way too big for any cockroach that could have migrated as far north as the border.
