I don't understand why the piston crowd and the rotary crowd fight so much.

I mean, different strokes for different folks.

Pssh that's the problem. Rotaries don't have a stroke.

One crowd is just chases their tails like dogs and the other just runs back and forth, both going nowhere.

I was about to say, different strokes for different folks but that doesn't seem to really fit, does it?

edit... when you type really fast and poorly, but that comes out as "butthat"

Rotary don't stroke man.
It got no stroke!
That ain't right.

Technically...

The eccentricity of the e-shaft translates almost exactly to 'stroke'.

Piston people don't understand how magic spinning triangles work, and the magic spinning triangle people want to claim moral superiority over the mundane pistonheads.

Note: I've owned both, I love rotors and pistons equally. I'm not your typical rotorhead, I'm afraid.

You know you're a rotary owner when you keep spare check engine lights just in case one goes out.
