haha. i just wanted to see how many of you would read this and go WTF IS THIS GUY TALKING ABOUT??? heres the story... we were hangin out in the parking lot when this kid rolls up in a beat up rx7 that had a nasty exhuast leak that sounded like crap and 2 huuuge like 5 inch exhuast tips sticking out the back and all kinds of neon lights and **** everywhere... so he comes over to me and my buddy who both have fc's and hes like "hey, man i noticed you guys have rx7's, can you help me out..." so i was like "uh yeah man what you need?", so he goes to pop the hood and opens it and is like "i wanna make this thing go faster and i saw online about how people put cams and lifter and valves and stuff in there cars to make them go faster, but i cant find the cylender heads on the engine"... i was shocked... i didnt know what to say. my buddy just started to bust out laughing. so after a few seconds of laughing i was like... (no joke) "dude, its gonna be hard to get to cuase the way they make these engines... they put the cylender heads on the bottom of the engine so you have to take the engine out" and i shined my cell phone light down to the oil pan and was like "yeah see that? thats the cylender head right there" and he was like "aw cool man aliright thanks dude" so i was hoping this dumbass kid would leave but he just kept following us around and **** talking about what he was going to do with his car... anyway... i just thought it was funny as hell and had to post it

Wow! Some people ehh? But there are people out there that will say things like that. One kid at college (that was in the automotive tech. dept.) asked me how many cylinders my car had. I turned and laughed at my girlfriend as I said one. He looked at me like I had two heads. It was pretty funny.

What's worse, is when people think "Rotary" is some TYPE of piston engine...



I've been asked if "Rotary" was Mazda's version of HEMI, Mazda's version of VTEC, all sorts of crazy stuff.
