He sure is
Pity he is not making any more music, Devil Doll or otherwise.

Are you still sporting that chrome fuel door we exchanged many years ago?

 

Is this better?

They're pieces of CRAP and anyone who buys one is a FOOL and deserves what he gets. smh

 

I PM'd you...... This is a warning

 

Appreciate your opinion on the matter but having an attitude like that isn't going to get you very far here. Your lack of being amicable is appalling.

 

To be honest rotary engines are not viable daily drivers for the average non-mechanically-inclined owner. Most any experienced rotary enthusiast will tell you this if they are being honest.

You sound like a regular non-car-guy who is mostly concerned with repair cost, longevity, and efficiency, and cares less about the image or experience of driving a sportscar. You're probably used to driving a bland honda or ford sedan, or maybe a pickup. For people like you, the rotary is a horrible choice, because they are expensive to repair, don't last long compared to trucks or econoboxes, have issues often, don't take well to stretched or neglected maintenance intervals, etc. And your driving style may not lend itself to the few advantages that a car like the rx8 offers, so you view it as a horrible car all around.

I often wonder how "regular" non-car-enthusiasts find themselves in a car like the rx8 apparently without any research at all, but it does seem to happen often. The way i explain it to these kind of people is that they've bought a cheap mazda car body that is fairly well designed, with a semi-exotic engine inside it that has expensive parts only available from one location in the world and that many mechanics cannot accurately diagnose or repair.

Your lack of research in this matter is not necessarily a reason to write off the entire car brand, though, and such a view is very narrow.

Also, I think in your story the people that continue to have car failures at low mileages might want to look in the mirror, as it's entirely possible they are contibuting to the early demise of all these cars by their driving style or maintenance habits.

 

^ Well said.
