The time has come to think about another project car, so I'm listing up my immaculate RX-7. I really love the car, but I enjoy building cars so I'm already thinking about what my next project will be. The car is extremely well done, no shortcuts whatsoever. I take pride in doing good work and making things right the first time, even if its a part nobody will ever see. Its a visceral experience driving the car, and probably best explained as violent when driven hard. I'm not pressed to sell all, so low offers will not be considered whatsoever. If it sells great, if not, then I'll continue to enjoy it.
