Nothing all that important. But I figured some of the fellow Mazda whores here would like.

I saw that, very cool. In one of the comments, there's a 5:30 minute Japanese video on the Eunos Cosmo. That thing is gorgeous.

I was pretty impressed with the 88 RX7 I worked on recently.  Odd issues aside, it was clearly a decade ahead of the Domestics in so many ways.

I didn't realize that the AZ-1 was RWD and sports oriented.

When that car is over 25 years old I'd really think about importing one sometime.

I'm not 100% sure. When I looked into it years ago I came up with 25 years. It's getting close now anyway.

We got a little taste of the weird with the V6 MX-3

Mazda always has that unique spirit though. I love em and hope they are with us indefinitely.
