What's cooler than being cool?




Allow myself to introduce... myself. Good. Okay. Now, onto the machine our team is going to use for this adventure. Let the suspense build:





Okay, so it's another RX7. Ours is a 1980 SA. It has a 12A that runs, a sunroof, working windows, some wheels, decent interior, pretty nice exterior, all of its mirrors and other components found on automobiles in varying states of functionality.

So far all we've done is disconnect the battery after realizing the aftermarket alarm was going to 'boop' every single time we hit a bump while towing this thing home from Calgary, give it a thorough cleaning and basically point and laugh at it.

GRANDPA'S HOME!




This is it's bad side. Well, they're all bad. But this one's the baddest.

I have a pretty new recovery strap that I haven't had an opportunity to use yet so consider that taken care of.

I've reconsidered my previous statement about our position in the convoy.

I had an awesome time doing this. Thanks a bunch to slung blade for the hospitality and food throughtout the trip and to everyone for your help along the way. Bummer that it had be cut short but many laughs and skids were had regardless. I hope the SCH guys feel like they got their money's worth too.

Here's what I managed to extract from our dash cam. It's mostly sweet chili heat bothering people.

It is important to note that the significance of the clip with the Sienna is that the noise you hear is from SCH which is ahead of the van yet sounds like it's right next to us.

I might have taken an interior shot. I'll take a look tonight.

Edit: Just kidding. The only one I have is of the 'decoration'
