A nice young guy now owns my RX7. He and his dad checked the car over (I mean Really checked it over), took it for a drive and said yes, but ....

The dad noticed that the tires had some dry rot. He checked the date and even though I just bought the tires a few months ago, they were dated 5/2004, and were old. Apparently I'm a dumb broad and didn't realize that the tire place gave me old tires. Because of it I let the young guy talk me down a hundred bucks. Not bad. But now...

Vintage being the key word, implies that to answer this question you had to have blown a substantial amount of quarters (or tokens) on video arcade games in the early 80's.

That's not exactly true, I can see ... but if it's not directly in the center of the lens, it's blurry as hell! Assuming, of course, that hell is blurry. If you don't move your head, but try to look left or right it's all blur...

I love my RX7 - I've posted about it many times.

.... However ....

An opportunity to get a 1983 Porsche 944 has come up - at a good price - and I wanted everyone's opinion.
