I've heard a few racing rotaries run (my regular mechanic, Jerry Wright, has built racing engines for years, including at least one turn at LeMans). Loud indeed.
Jerry is why I still drive Mazdas long after we had to trade off the Rx-4 wagon for an MPV (not enough seats in the wagon for the family). I don't know what I'm going to do after he retires if I'm not full EV by then. I expect he will soon as he's already in his mid-70s. The Kia Soul EV in the driveway is the first non-Mazda I've owned in a very long time, though we do have a hybrid Ford Maverick on order. Heaven only knows if we'll get it as Ford allowed more than twice as many hybrid Mavericks to be ordered in the week orders were open in September 2022 than they say they can build in this model year......
Have we strayed far enough off topic @Funkworks ?
