Took the MR2 to work instead of the bus so I could make a quick getaway. Ran into this little guy on the ride home.

Not this exact car. But just as clean. Had some rimz on it, tasteful ones.

There’s a stretch of highway that’s mostly empty with 4 big roundabouts on it. We were both headed the same way. I thought I could have some fun poking through those at speed with the little old Mazda, but I got destroyed.

This thing had been something-swapped or something-charged, to the point where my poor NA MR2 just couldn’t keep up. Every time I caught him on the straight, he’d do a hard pull out of the roundabout and fly off into the sunset. Once I saw the back step out under hard acceleration. I was giddy.

In hindsight this was a dream come true. We have twisty roads nearby, but I think the roundabouts give me about as much entertainment.

I think those first-gen RX-7's all came with factory limited-slip differentials. So rad.

So well-preserved ... probably just the purest driving experience.

If it’s ever running long enough to enjoy it ;) Of course I suspect this guy is a proper rotary enthusiast. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.

Drove a car that came before - Mazda Cosmo. Ridiculous acceleration coupled with doubtful reliability.
