Added a 3rd rotor

Here is my new 3rd rotor. I bought it from Mazdatrix and it arrived last night. Gold plated and it spins. Neat little keychain so when someone asks me what size cylinder engine I have I can tell them I don't have cylinders and explain what I mean. A female friend asked me 2 weeks ago at a party and it was impossible for her to understand.

I love my rotary keychain! Easiest way to explain how my car works... If you've got a pen handy, it's easy to demonstarte how it spins.

It needs to be on a gold plated chain around your neck, foo!

No really it's pretty cool. How much HP does it add.

Are you sure it's not really 1.2?

I think just by it being gold it should add 30hp.

I think it's because they disabled GIF avatars with the "upgrade" I remember seeing a thread about it in the Suggestion forum.

Some of us who already had the gif's got lucky and they still work but I think you can't change it to gif...

Would be a nice key chain for me if I still used keys. However, I prefer my credit card style keyless entry and start. No keys means there's no need for a key chain.

I love just needing to press on the little black button found on the door handles to lock and unlock the car that and just settling into the seat and cranking the ignition. I hated the idea of having to always dig my keys out of my pocket to lock/unlock and start my car.

i really do needa get one of these keychains. i have the one that doesn't rotate, in silver satin.

with the avatar, unless they changed the rule back, you should be able to use gif images w/ animation. i know that after that thread was made, they enabled it back, as i changed my avatar to a smaller pixel dimension. still has animation. should still work. if not start another thread
