How many of you have got your car confused with a probe..or something different. I mean really people, does it really resemble a probe..and again, how come you people out there, you know who you are, my car has a rotary, no she does not have pistons, don't ask me how many valves I have, don't ask me about gas mileage, and yes my Mazda was able to pull a Toyota MR2 down the street with no problem. Who says I have no Torque. HA...fooled you.

Thats funny. I pulled up to a light and a kid in a SRT4 asked me:



him- "Race you to the light... What you got under there?"



me- "BONE STOCK!"



him- "This should be a fair race 4cyl to 4cyl"



I then laughed and rolled up my window, and burned him to the next light and show him my rear window sticker. And it reads "NO PISTONS"



I wonder what was on his mind while he was reading that?



(ONLY REASON I WON IS BECAUSE THE KID WAS A TERRIBLE DRIVER. His car was shiny tho...)

Tuner Shiny or Rice Shiny? Lol, what a jerk. It was probably the same type of guy that got my Mazda mixed up with a Probe. You know those people. Those are the ones who think they know all about cars, but end up getting pwned on the simple stuff.

Well, the newest of rx7's are 13 years old, and the newest 2nd gens are damn near 20. Cut em a bit of slack... There really aren't all that many who can identify any car on the street... Though it is always a joy burning someone who misidentified it...

Rust gives personality. It shows where its been. But yeah, I don't diss the people who truly don't know much about cars and get mixed up. Its the people who think they are the know all and end all, but you ask them about mazda and they look at you like you are crazy.

People at the insurance place had no idea what a rotary engine was, the girl I was talking to actually got mad at me for not telling her how many cylinders the car had... I ended up showing them on the internet.
