I think you missed your calling. That would be a good commercial.

Hey, work is work as long as it keeps the bills paid.

I'm a guy. I do my own oil changes. And in my garage I have an FC with 168,000 miles and an RX-8 and... a Honda Odyssey.

Dang, I was *this* close to starring in a Mazda commercial. I never should have sold my FB.

I heard that the kabura is the next Rx-8, but here's the special bit - it will actually have a piston-rotary hybrid. A piston engine for city driving and better gas mileage, and a rotary for the highway. Or-wait-maybe its the other way around?

Renegade Mazda employees have been covertly continuing to assemble RX-8s at the Hiroshima plant.

God bless them!

I haven't had any issues with my 04 RX-8. Minus the recalls and a CEL light once when I first had it the only time it's been in the shop has been for it's regular scheduled maitenance. Then again, I know how to operate a rotar powered car, and many do not.

You know what Revetec is?

Duratechs are good motors. Unless your using "it's a Ford" against it. My favorite so happens to be the 2.3 I-4 PZEV Duratech and 2.5 V6 SVT Duratech.
