Turns out that the new neighbor is not a car guy.

Despite just now seeing him taking photos of the classic cars on a hauler that appeared in our neighborhood (I didn’t have my phone on me when I walked my dog, but it was a Falcon convertible and some sedan from the ‘40s).

And despite him owning an RX-8.

So close.

Upon introducing myself and mentioning that he must be a car guy , h e said he just wanted a sporty car but knew nothing about cars.

It's deception to ward off annoying neighbors. Put on the radio and do something fiddly under the hood making sure to swear loud once or twice. Bonus points if you can make it run shitty for a second. See if that lures them out.

Pulling a  spark plug wire or two will do it

A guy that knows nothing about cars but has an RX-8? Poor fella. He won’t have said RX-8 for long.

He doesn’t drive it much, it has 60,000 miles. Do apex seals like more or less use? He tried to say that it was just the RX-7s that had problems, but I gently disagreed.

I told him that the answer would be to put a Corvette LS engine in it when the rotary goes . Not the simple answer, but the fun one.

The RX-7s are actually less troublesome than the 8s. I know of several RX-7s with very high miles (well, high miles for a rotary, anyway).

Depends o n how you use them. But it is a wearable surface protected by a thin layer of oil in a giant triangle of explosions and stuff.
