I’ve always loved the RX7, but never enough to own/maintain one.

People love to project today's reliability and longevity onto cars from their youth and conveniently and nostalgically forget the tinkering that was required to keep them going back in the day. It used to be we'd get rid of a car at 75K mi b/c they'd be shot at 100K mi. Today, 75K mi is just broken in and parts are designed to go 150K mi before needing replacement. Not true with cars from the 60s, 70s, or 80s plus your dealing with electrical parts among others that are 30 to 50 yrs old. You certainly have back-up vehicles available, but you want a reliable daily driver.
