My Intro!

I'm not too much a fan of the FC... It's bigger and heavier than the FB. It's also prone to understeer whereas the FB was not only more prone to oversteer, but it was very predictable when the back end would kick out. I dunno.. The FC just feels sloppier than the FB.

But it's a 2+2, so it's more practical and it's comfier.

I think my least favorite generation is the 3rd gen, which is kinda odd to people.
Yeah, it looks nice... But I don't like forced induction on rotaries... It complicates the engine bay and you've gotta use expensive fuel to avoid detonation.

Have any of you ever WORKED on a 3rd gen? You've gotta remove the intake manifold to replace ignition coils for Pete's sake... What kinda design is that?!

If I were to ever own a 3rd gen, she'd have a piston engine under the hood.

But that's all expensive. Figure what, you can get a clean FD for maybe $10g? Then you spend a good couple thousand on building a V8 and the mount kit...

I've never had a car payment and never intend to. My most expensive vehicle was $10g paid for in cash and I intend to keep it that way.
