I've often been asked, 'what do you old guys do now that you're retired?'
Well, I have a friend who hangs out with me. He has a chemical engineering background and one of the things we enjoy most is turning beer, wine, bourbon, tequila, and martinis into urine.
And, we're pretty damn good at it.
Two blondes were driving through Louisiana. As they were approaching Natchitoches, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one blonde asked the manager, "Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are,...very slowly?"
The manager leaned over the counter and said, "Burrrrrrrr-gerrrrrrr Kiiiiing."
A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair. While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, appears to kiss her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom. While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: 'Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain..... do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you.' His wife responds: 'He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you, too.'
A 13B I believe, same as here;Quote:

Tougher than communism I'd say
Its a great design. Redline any motor with no coolant and IMHO you need to be slapped. A lot :DQuote:

10A 12A or 13B ? only way to tell is the width or the rotor and housing, but this one looks like it's been ported out a bit.
Back in the early seventies I worked for Mazda. It was a good outfit and the cars were at least as good as anything Japan or the US had at that point.
They were REALLY thirsty then and the oil embargos hurt them badly. Mazda was the first manufacturer to start offering rebates because of it.
What did you race? The land speed record RX3 was once at our distribution center in preparation for the Chicago auto show. The zone service manager took it for a blast on the street, talk about loud.
I drove my RX2 from Nashville to Chicago in 6 1/2 hours using a snow brush(google it Bob)for cruise control holding the gas pedal to the floor. The tachs in those days had a buzzer at 7k, listened to that #$#%&$ for hours and it never fazed the car.
i'm not trying to tie up the joke thread but that gets posted in threads about how sucky the new motor in the rx-8 is. I don't know rotaries so I couldn't identify if it was a new generation motor or not. Just a unique jpeg.
