Curbside Classic: 1983 Mazda RX-7

Zing! That word encapsulates the RX-7. The only vocabulary the little coffee-can rotary had was zing! (snick) zing! (snick) and zing again!

That is, unless you got a little too frisky in certain corners, and the live rear axle might toss you a nasty little over-zing.
