Mikey failed to mention that it was given to us by my aunt. It has less than 100k miles and has been sitting in her garage for about a year due to a bad thermostat. She had the new thermostat and everything else to make it good. She just didn't want to mess with it due to having a brand new Honda. The car originally came from my other aunt and was bought brand new by her and was kept up religiously. The engine compartment shows no leaks of any kind and looks like new. I'll post more pics when I get it off the trailer.

I hope he will let me drive it and I'm going to save my money and buy a turbo for it and a fart can.

fart pipes don't sound too bad on rotaries.... is that a turbo car or a N/A car? those motors are SOOOOOO light. i bet if you had to remove it Mikey could pull it out.....
