Wow!

Were you born an ******* or did you work at it all of your life?
I guess you have forgotten way back when you were a NUB, but them I may be mistaken and you were the original inventor of the Rotary engine and the RX7 too. I forgot that you were born knowing EVERYTHING about them.
After giving that kid some good information you cut him down just to look better and bigger in your own eyes. What a cheap shot to take at another fellow enthusiast. How do you think he feels about the good people in this organization now? Do you think he will tell other people what a great bunch of guys we are, or do you think he will carry the irreparable hurt and ill will you managed to spread in just a few sentences? It's ******** like you that give organizations a bad name and image. Man you must be proud of yourself. Your a legend in your own mind. You've certainly risen to the top, but then again, **** usually does float doesn't it?
Please don't be upset it's just my FLAME to you!
Sincerely yours,
Robert a.k.a. RadsRocket

As long as the coolant and oil were changed regularly, I would trust it just as much as any other 20 year old car

I daily drive my 88, but I've fully rebuilt the engine and pre-mix at every fill up.

keep regular maintenance. do the 60k tune ups, and maybe replace the fuel injectors/lines " to help with the mpg issue a bit" treat it well and it should do the same. although that doesn't mean there won't be problems down the line, all cars have problems, and imho rotaries are easier to work with since they have fewer moving parts = P, asking for a guarantee on how long somethings gonna last is next to impossible, its like asking when your computers gonna be obsolete or if your gonna get sick in the next 2 years
