Concept:

Post car with radial engine in QOTD

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that Mazda used to make radial-engined cars

Wait to be corrected once

Post punchline

We all have a laugh.

Reality:

Post car with radial engine in QOTD

Make comment that Mazda used to make radial-engined cars

Wait to be corrected

Post punchline

Realize punchline is hidden from default view

Spend all night linking punchline reply to all the "radials are not the same thing as rotaries" replies I get.

I could have gone on all night and argued them to death with more radial-engined images in my library.

Or replied with "STFU, i know what a rotary is, buddy!"

But I decided to just link the punchline over, and over, and over..

When I saw that at first I thought that Mazda actually had made cars in the past with radial engines from aircraft and I got really excited.

You make me sad

Maybe a dozen or so, plus a few more this morning. It seemed like more, but they came in every 5-10 minutes.

Some were the "Duh, no they didn't," type replies, but others actually went to the trouble to post GIFs, links, or explained the difference.

It was nice to see the replies that included some information to educate.

I do. It is undeniably quicker and I find it more intuitive. Also, it's not tracking my every move.

Fair enough. I use chrome so it's just been easier for me to use google.

Well, the Scirocco would have terrible torque steer and understeer, and all would have terrible aerodynamics and visibility. And why would anyone want a Cavalier with all of those?

I figured I knew where you were headed, and thought it was funny.

People don't seem to be able to anticipate good humor.

Ha, that's a great post.

I had it all planned out, then Kinja came along and hid the best part. :( I should have just posted the image with the first comment.

Excuse me I have some notifications to attend to...

FWIW, I got the joke immediately...I was going to post back that the radial engine model was probably the most reliable RX-8 ever built, didn't have time
