Since when did you drive the Saturn 5 rocket?
As an retired Mazda salesman I went on many test drives on the back seat at 5 foot 10 it was not all that bad
You guys have retirement? Or do you mean 401K? Since dealerships are owned by more than 1 person, each have different benefits.
@@jeffreysantos9070 i meant retirement The dealership I worked for was owned by 1 family only selling Mazda's and is still in business
@@richardpasquale5930 Nice!! You are lucky to have a retirement with your dealership. Most dealerships, or any business, don't have a retirement.
@@jeffreysantos9070 I am thank you have a great day
People used to ask my why they put in back seats in my sports car? I would tell them that it saved me $1000. per year for insurance over a two seater.
It's cheaper in the uk to insure a 2 seater. I guess it's because you can't mutilate as many people in a crash lol
In Japan road tax was based upon engine size, size of the car (length, width) and number of seats. So a car with 2 tiny unusable back seats was taxed less than a two seater. A lot of countries still use engine size and seating to determine road tax.
I tried the same tactic with my car insurance company, by telling them it had 4 seats, but being a 2016 Mustang...they didn't buy my story! A Mustang is a Mustang, no matter how you look at it, they say.
@@garfieldsmith332 yes, my country charge a month salary worth if engine larger than 2000 cc. Fun fact 3000 cc engine road tax cost as much as one 2000 Camry in my country.
@@wallc3243 All countries should tax vehicles that way. A lot more people would drive smaller cars. The majority of owners of big cars and pickup trucks really do not need them.
I own a 2004 RX-8 and I LOVE the car! At 49,000 miles it runs great. As long as you follow certain rules with the engine use it will last but no where near the longevity of a piston engine. But the car handles better than any car I've ever driven, and I've driven quite a few!
Owned one from new for over 5 years. Never gave me any problems. It uses some oil but less than I thought. The engine is super smooth right up to redline. It handles great even in the snow!
They really did !!
My dad had one new. He got a new engine at 1000 miles lol. They gave him a lifetime warranty and ended up replacing the engine again at 50k. He sold it with 80k a couple years ago to a young guy who was very excited to have it.
@@Nix_Pardus They really were a blast to drive
@@richardpasquale5930 Oh yeah. Despite the reliability issues the handling was incredible and the rotary provided plenty of power. Very fun car
If I could get one for free with a blown engine but only if I'm gunna make it drive again... should I?
I'm kinda new to working on vehicles and don't have a bunch of money, it would be a huge side project but is it gunna be hard to find parts and information for it? Are they gunna be expensive?
My grandparents have one and it's never given them major issues. They've had it since like 2009-2011 something like that. I told them as a kid to get it and they did lol. I love that car
Thought about trading my WRX at one point for one of these but.....couldnt do it...snow is real in my life
I had a 2007 WRX STI when I lived in Michigan, car was insanely fun in the snow! Just throw some snow tires on and you’re good to go 🙂
Drove my RX8 through many mountain winters
Good thing you didnt wrxs are def better overall all vehicles than these rx8s
@@WaitingforTheKingdom as a mazda fanboy i agree, cant compare subaru to mazda rx8 sounds sketchy on mountain winters hahaha
I've owned 2 Rx7's and have an Rx8 that I drove off the showroom floor in 2006. Gutted and track prepped. A blast to drive!!
My first car was an RX3. Great little car back in the day
@Anthony PUKY D Holland Yeah but still a cool lil car 😎
@Anthony, it was worst than that, I had it in Puerto Rico where there were massive pot holes back in the day so I had to drive slow anyway 😂. Still. It was a cool car
@@nickytorres662 😲😂😂🤣🤣
@@Anthony-qj7qe I had a 1990 Corolla sr5 gts two door it was a pretty cool first car just not a speed demon
@@markmiller4503 That's another cool car, the speed doesn't really matter, when you're having fun crusin around 👍
Suicide doors... demonetized!
LOL! Scotty always killing it with the graphics
They are not that small
I bought one last month. Most fun I ever had with clothes on...
I had a mazda wagon that had a Wankel and, I blew the seals doing burnouts at 14k rpm.. man was that a fun car..
i want one but everyone thats selliong is 80k miles im sure they are on there ways out i need to learn how to change the apex seals my self cant be that hard. rx8 is my all time favorite car or maybe rx7 fd
What about with clothes off?
@@markmiller4503 what kind. Must have been old
@@ryansmiley5495 1974 RX 4
I’m telling you Scotty America needs you now more than ever!!!
Nice to see you driving the car on your test drive to give it an honest to goodness review Scotty! Keep it up great video!
Just some rotary engine-related trivia: fuel economy & emissions issues were the reasons why GM canned their almost-ready rotary engine in the early-'70s, which AMC had planned to use in the Pacer.
I love the sound of that engine reaving up
Yeah that looks like it revs to 100,000 rpm and yes every number is multiplied by 10,000
During my last semester of college, I bought a 1986 RX-7. I really loved driving that car, especially because you could achieve higher speeds in lower gears without coming close to redlining. However, the engine eventually had issues, and I traded it in and bought an suv, which was more practical for where I lived after college. I had a college friend who had an RX-7 of the previous generation to mine, and his was a speed demon. He and his friends were street racers, so he had his highly modified. This thing was so damn fast, especially accelerating from a stop! I wish I had his car, but he had sold it during the summer before I bought mine.
"Just make sure you have tiny friends!" 😆 Scotty's the best.
My 94' Celica has more miles than the square mile footage of Saudi Arabia.
So it's more than 1,300,000 miles

@The Real VR Remember, Don't Strike a Match; it may end up like a Ford Pinto.
I have an RX8 R3.... and it is by far the best car I have ever owned!! If you get the chance try one.
I want turbine engines to come back.
Would they pass pollution requirements?
@@maciejp7829 absolutely not 🤣
That's a dream of mine.. to build a turbine engine car. I believe a streetable, weekend cruiser if not daily, is highly achievable.
M1 Abrams
@@dannythompson1948 Jay Leno has two of them. Chrysler turbine from the 60s I believe and one of his own design with a helicopter turbine engine. Look it up here on YT. They are really cool.
I own a 2005 rx8 with over 180000kms, standard hot start issues but credit where credits due, it's the best driving, most fun, compelling dead stock car I've ever driven. Right up there with a 2018 subaru brz with the ts/ sti pack. All I've done is project mu brake pads and a custom ls1 coilpack conversion and it's the best car I've ever driven on a mountain road. The amount of rnd Mazda did when designing it is insane. 100% reccomend driving one properly on a mountain road if you get the chance
Mazda also had a LeMans racing car call the 787b which had a 4 rotor engine with the displacement of 2.6 liters
I think Scotty saw he has a ton of viewers from Saudi Arabia and decided to give us a shout out ✌😂
I think so 😅
Indeed 🤣
👍🇸🇦
Rotaries are popular in SA?
Why?
As always very informative scotty. Love from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦😏
Interesting factoid: The automotive rotary engine was invented by the Adams-Farwell Co. of my hometown, Dubuque Iowa, around 1900. There is only one Adams-Farwell Car known to be in existence at Harrah's Car Museum. Oh, and I worked at the Adams Co. in the late 70's.
.....perhaps they perfected it rather than invented .
@@charlesdickens6706 Perhaps.
@CT is infant grade content now Wankel took the ROTARY engine, made some changes, and patented it in 1929. Do the research, you twat.
The Adams Farwell has a real Rotary type engine.. Mazda only made Wankel engines under the _"Mazda Rotary"_ brand name.... two completely different types of engine.
*The Rotary type engine was invented by Felix Millet in in 1892.*
4'9" girlfriend?!!! He must be nuts over her! 🤣🤣
Remember, the smaller they are, the meaner they get when you piss them off. Ask me how I know.
@@wendellwhite5797 how do you know
@@wendellwhite5797 how do U know ?
@@z33wick I was married to one and dated several of them. Great women until they aren't.
@@wendellwhite5797 they are cute when they get angry... its kids department literally 😆😂😂
My first car was an RX7. Loved that thing. 👍🏻
I had an RX2 and an RX3, and both got about 27 mpg traveling above 60. If I went below 50, I could only get 22. I discovered that the faster you went, the better your mileage. There was a theoretical limit, but there was no power curve. It was a straight line up.
they look so cool with the sunroof and rear windows cracked, i want one just for those little design quirks like the triangles on literally everything
Love the extra info about the motorcycle's especially the Norton
Have a 1991 RX7 convertible. 160K mi on original engine, changed oil every 3K, still runs fine.
Do you pre mix or any other maintenance besides oil change
To the Veteran - Thank you for Your Service 🇺🇲 Way to Go Scotty 👍
Thank you for your service! Nice car too
Damn the rx8 is getting so much love now
That rotary sound is beautiful
Got to love the Doritos 🔺power especially when it extra spicy 🤣
Just love that inset with the surprised/scared cat! Makes me laugh every time!
Hey, Scotty! I appreciate all your car information and repair videos a lot, but I was wondering if maybe you could do more motorcycle videos for us riders? It’d be much appreciated sir!
Good afternoon Scotty hope you and yours are doing well and your vacation is progressing wonderfully, you drive that car and speed you better know a good bail bondsman!
I had 2 RX2s 2dor auto and 4dor standard, fast cars would out run much larger cars. The auto got about 18 mpg and the standard got about 21 mpg. The rotarys fire like
a 6 cylinder, 3 times for each rotation of the rotors. A lot of people scraped the engines because they did not keep the oil topped up, the engines were designed to consume
oil, and the oil system was also part of the cooling system. LOVED THE CARS. (My 4 door was the first Mazda registered in MO, quite an adventure!)
missouri mazda gang !!
Sounds like the motorcycle sanctioning board is similar to NASCAR: “If you can’t outrun them, outlaw them.”
Keep it coming, Scotty!
Hope your having a great day Scott love your content
Seconded
Meant Scotty
Outstanding video and presentation
Used to own an 04 rx8. Was a blast running it at 3:30 in the morning around the streets spitting flames. Ps if you want a unique fun car that gets attention and don’t mind maintenance or spending v8 money without a v8, get these👌
No they're actually cheap nowadays
The problem would be to find someone to work on it
oh boy i had one of these bad boys back in 2008, gas and oil guzzling little bastards. BUT! they were sure a lot of fun to drive tho.
Another great video my Scotty Kilmer love the auditory love the delivery America really does need Scotty Kilmer 😻😻😹
fell into one of these, and absolutely love it!
Sucker born every minute..
Love my 04. 11C and enjoy it on the weekend.
I remember taking a test drive of an RX-7 turbo back when I was a teenager, or maybe early 20's. That thing seemed so fast
Hi Scotty love the vidz
congrats on 4.20mil subs scotty
Nice Tundra in the background!!! Love my Lunar Rock Tundra TRD Pro!
Used to take apart the turbine engines in the m1 tanks at an army depot I used to work at. They sure are complex lol
My hat is off to you Sir, cause this video was posted two years ago and Mazda is coming back to this engine as a generator like you stated two years ago!
Love your videos Scotty
Big fan from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
that rx8 in video looks so clean, car still looks like new condition, whoever bought it for 10k got a incredible deal
You know you like mazda when you can tell its an rx8 just by seeing the custom recaro seats that came in them.
Cats keep using our garden as a giant bathroom, I watched Scotty’s video and fixed it with spray cleaner 👍👍👍
Cats are endless money pits hahaha!
What kind of spray
@@orrieleejones6996 gasoline

@@markopolo9936 wow what a n - word you are
video didnt start , just saw the seats , my god i miss my rx8
Love my Rx-8. It is fun as hell!!!
There's another rotary engine with 3 spark plugs and a better design being made now. Watched a video of a transparent one running which displayed the better design. It's a new video. I'll find it for you if you need me to. Pretty cool to see and can't wait to see what will be done with them in the near future. The 3 plugs were for a single rotor that had 3 combustion chambers. Real fascinating design.
A buddy of mine had an RX7--fun car, used oil...burned gas like an oil well fire but it was fun. Made it to around 80,000 miles and the seals went. Seems cold intake charge and burning hot exhaust blasting several inches away causes warping of the cases, blown seals etc. A very fun engine to spin up but long term reliability is dicey, mileage is horrible and you need to keep an eye on your oil level. All that oil burning does not give much love for the cat convertor either. I can see them being used as a small, light weight power generator hybrid thing as emergency power backup, they are very light but overall they went away because they needed to go. Two strokes went away also...the world moves on. It was fun while it lasted!
Afternoon Scotty! 🏁
the guy urinating in the gas tank is classic
I used to own an RX-8, and on my long commute, I'd get 19 mpg. Not cheap! Damnit, though, I miss that car. Find me a car today that has a double wishbone front suspension, four seats, a manual transmission, and rear wheel drive.
BRZ?
@@cadcc ugly
@@xMorbidArtx Nothing is more fugly than the worst sedan Mazda ever made..
The RX8 looks like a cheap plastic garden shed... and a shed has better resale value.
This car isn’t being talked about like it’s totally forgotten
Unlike the FD RX7 but I like this one a lot
Hes a Vet and he has a Triumph shirt! 😎
I brought a cosmo engine from Germany after my army tour -- I sold it 3 times the amt i paid for
I have great reverence for the rotary engine! My dad bought an Rx-4 wagon barely used in 1980. I think he bought it because it was inexpensive at the time, and would perform well. and hold up well.
Thank you!!
04 6 speed bridge port, soon to be turbo charged, fun AF
Year ago took my 2007 rx-8. My 5th rotory girl and will be happy to beautifulize her and build. Never sold previous cars cheaper than bought. Love it.
In Japan they made a Holden Kingswood with a rotary motor Holden was a General Motors product look it up
had to go back a couple of times when Scotty said "suicide doors" just to enjoy it hahaha, good man Scotty, demonetised but you made sure to say it anyways hahaha, so good!
I thought it was gonna be an '07 Camry 😅 Cheers from Toronto, Canada!
Yeah probably the only oilburning camry
Rarely see those late RX8s , mostly see the early ones
Aww! Scotty, you’re making me miss my 1988 Mazda RX-7! I drove it for six years!

@@Manakuski rather a mazda over a bmw ;), steering feels similar and motors and expenses are cheaper. only downfall no 6 cylinder with legit power or rwd :/
@@goinbananas7606 RX8 and MX-5 are both nice. I'll rather drive a BMW every day though. Here in europe. They're nicer and always have warranty anyway so who cares if something breaks (they always get fixed free and dealerships have capable mechanics here).
I wouldn't buy an old BMW either though.
@@Manakuski i had a speed6 it was awesome, i have a mazda 3 daily driver and honestly its not "fun" but the steering in mazda's are something of a similar heritage of bmw, its not floppy you feel you control the car kinda, it'd be nice if mazda made more rwd vehicles but they are still a "smaller" company and still readily supply to different groups of individuals. also in canada, they are coming stock with turbo's only 230 hp 280 ftlb of torque pretty sure, but still that will make them more enjoyable here atleast.
@@Manakuski dodge has the lightest weirdest steering ive ever felt, so does honda, its like you arent even connected to the car. the tighter steering although rough on bumps for the mazda, gives you an actual feeling of driving the car not the car driving with you type of thing
I just bought a Toyota celica gts 99, got inspired by you 😎
A teacher at my school drives one of these RX-8 and it looks pretty cool 😎
I loved my 1988 RX7. It was a totally different acceleration, wooshy.
Our local car club has a member who has a Mazda that you showed in the box. His son bought it in Japan and shipped as a racing car. Put two turbos on that engine and try to stay with it.
I like the look of the RX8's and RX7's
Scotty, do a video on the Opal Cadet!
Ever consider coming to Florida for a visit?
Good stuff....
I got one, the S2....from new. It's a fantastic car. These cars had problems with mods, done by "enthusiasts" and often wrecked by them as a result. The S2 has something like 140+ upgrades to pretty much everything on the car.
I agree a Wankel engine would be great to power a generator and the RX8 is a beautiful car love the curves.
Learn something new every day. The rotary is actually called the twirly engine 😂
