I had a 1971 Toyota FJ40, and built a 1992 supercharged Camaro with a mini blower. Those were my coolest, but also a couple Fiero's, a Z32, and an E30.

...also the guy that rode a bicycle everywhere '09-'14 got hit 7 times, with the last one disabling me. So don't get too bent over car stuff. I've put in over 170k miles on a bicycle since '09.

Rotary, 12A if my memory is correct. Mine had an automatic (it was my grandmother's car before mine)

The wikipedia page looks just like it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mazda_Capella&diffonly=true#RX-2

Skip to the First generation photo, not the capella top photo

Edit: direct link to the photo that was my car: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mazda_Capella&diffonly=true#/media/File%3A1973_Mazda_616_front_left_Iceland.jpg
