I think if a buy another impractical car some day it will be an RX7. I know the old rotaries have a lot of problems, but fuck are they nice.

you can get a new rx8 for cheap. like under $20k
I looked into those but opted out because they only come in manual. nice cars though.

Manual > automatic
and spud's right, RX7's are WAY nicer than RX8's.

yeah, for sure. they shouldn't be owned by people that don't know how to do work on cars themselves, or know someone who can help them out, or they're going to spend a shitload on labor.

Well, I don't really know shit about rotary. I have a lot of theoretical knowledge on them, but I've never worked on a rotary engine.

no, neither have I...I'd do a ton of research before I bought one and ask my grandfather to teach me how to do osme general work on them. With my luck though, I'd buy one and the engine block would fall out after a week

They are easier to work with than piston engines because of their simplicity and the fact that all the pieces are much lighter and less strenuous.
