Happy Birthday Wankel Engine!
On this day, in 1957, German mechanical engineer Felix Wankel ran his completely newly designed prototype for the first time! This would become the Wankel Rotary Engine we all know and love today!

I feel like celebrating by buying myself a beer, and treating the RX to some 94 octane fuel and a car wash!

94 Octane?! Must be nice! The highest we can get around here is 91!

Cheers to the WANKEL!
