Fun, Cheap, RELIABLE car

[Senor_Taylor]

I would say stay away from an RX7. Rotaries don't really fit reliable or cheap.

Have you ever owned one? (coming from someone who owns one currently). Same goes for your dismissal of an E30 or E36.

DJ, you're a different animal. Not many people have the patience/time/money for the kinds of cars you subject yourself to. Let alone the mechanical knowledge. Where would you even take a Rotary around Harrisonburg to get worked on? You can't suggest someone who has never owned one, buy a 20+ year old Rotary for under $5000 and keep it on the road without luck or major downtime.
