People that buy cars new, finance them, and they have them sit in a garage on purpose because they don't want to drive it is dumb to me. The resale on these cars is already horrible. Why not enjoy it?

Mine will be staying with me until it's either wrecked, or falls apart. Years from now it will be racecar status.
All of this. I've got 45k miles now and a 80k mile powertrain extended warranty. If things go right I can blow up the original engine and get a new one on the house before it's paid off.

I cant build a normal engine for that matter... but yes i know how a rotary works.

Hey man its cool, you're into novelty ideas. You and i like the same car minus the engine. Facts are those bitches are unreliable. Seals blow all the time, to many rpms on a poor design.

Im also a member of norotors.com and i've just seen swap after successful swap going into these cars and i think its just making the car better. the all aluminum lsx block is supposedly only 70lbs more than the rotary so no weight / handling is really lost there; its just more power and reliability.

but lets agree to disagree. Maybe its fun tearing down a rotary and rebuilding it around every 80k?

Right now I say keep. I'm not sold on the new generation of mustangs yet. Give me about 3 or 4 years...I usually get the itch for something new when I have about a year left on the note.

I've owned three fox bodies including an old "four-eye" This one will definately be harder to get rid of.
