I think what it comes down to is that one car just isn't enough. I'd love to have a well-tuned RX7, a nice daily driver E36 M3, my R for the track, a turbo'ed GC8 Impreza for some rally action, and something ridiculous for the occasional drag strip run. Oh, and a pickup truck to haul everything when they break down :wink: . I'm not in the financial position that I can do that, so the R is a pretty decent compromise.

On a sidenote, yes, the Beamers have it for the daily drivers selection. I'd imagine they'd tear it up pretty nicely on the track as well, but I can't speak from experience. I just know every one I've driven was so comfy and luxurious, it would definitely be something I could stand having every day.

Back to the subject (sorta) I just read the latest issue of Turbo and it had an article on the workings of a rotary engine. I knew the basics about its operation previously, but having some detailed photos definitely helped my understanding of it. A good read for anyone who's interested.
