I went to a friend's car get-together in Ohio yesterday!

I’ve never seen so many rotaries in my life!!

My friend Dave, who not only helped me do my timing and balance shaft belts on my 944, and has owns 2 944s, also has an FB RX-7 and hosts a primarily a local RX-7/RX-8 meet, but it is open to any awesome car really. My dad and I made the hellish 3 hour trip from Michigan during yesterday’s awful weather. It was on this trip I learned what “inlets” are and why US Route 2 can be hell on a bad day; with flooded roads and all the turbulent and windy weather pushing the 944 around. But we made it there and back safely so I have no complaints!

Mostly just 1st gen RX-7s as you can see in the pictures, but the yellow one up top is a twin turbo.

Overall, fun day off with my dad. Next weekend, we’re going to the NHRA Nationals!! :)

Not gonna lie, I wanna try a rotary now. Motorweek compared the 944 and RX-7 back in the 80s, I wanna know how they compare.

I was pretty close to buying an FB... Decided to go with my Miata instead. Being that I am a one car owner, I decided to go with reliability over rotary. And while I’ve spent a decent amount of my time/money wrenching on the Miata over the year I've owned her... It has never not started, so that’s good.

Stick a rotary in the 944 and get the best of both worlds.

They rev to the moon. I really wanted an FB as a first car, but I couldn't afford one.

I thought they were relatively cheap?

A running project is over $2k up here.

I’m not sure whether or not it’s weird or sad that I get this joke. (o_o)
