I have seen this car run at MBR-SCCA autocrosses before! It truly was a sight to see.

White letters needs to make a come back.

This is also part of the reason why autocrossing an Olds Eighty-Eight feels like trying to push a wet noodle through a crazy straw.

I’ll believe the salt one. I’ve been to a lot of other states and countries during winter. And the quanties used blows my mind when I lived in the north east was insane. You can barely find a car over 10 years old.

Design tolerances or different than actual assembled tolerances.

A few years ago, I was offered an engineering job at Tesla (specifically within their Quality Engineering group), decent salary, a sizeable stock bonus.

Some people are really special. Others just really have a hard on for hating Tesla.

95% of them will choose to live in their cars in the parking lot rather than pay Bay Area housing costs

Nice to see some rotary love on here.

Man... I’d call those rust free examples ;)

You’ll never find a modern car embrace entropy quite like a Mazda.

It saves weight which improves your braking performance and handling. If anything, rust is an accident avoidance technology, much like all those fancy cameras and sensors semi-autonomous cars are using these days.

0 advantage except incredibly compact size, high output and inherent balance?

While they’re at this whole shoebox-sized rotary engine as a range extender thing, they should see about selling it as a standalone go-kart motor.
