. Always park in well-lit areas as close as possible to your destina, tion or the parking attendants Although a parking lot can be a dangerous place, there are several steps you can take to make it safer: .

If it doesn't feel right, trust your Instincts The time when many people feel most vulnerable is when they are either leaving or returning to a parked car - particularly at night.

The rear has double aluminum wishbones, Formula One style, being squeeze-cast A.. frames braced by forged aluminum control arms. Even the shock tower is aluminum. Same thing goes for the It also comes with a four-poster rear spoiler and exceptionally deep chin spoiler with dedicated from brake cooling ducts. Under the hood of this front engine/rear drive missile is the no-nonsense engine compartment with cross-drilled shock tower bar. But what impressed me was the glistening girth of the air craft-quality anti-lock brake mechanism. Gone is the fancy interior to be replaced by volup tuously bolstered lightweight cloth seats. There‘s a gaping slot where the CD might have gone and the interior abounds in matte black metal, no pretense being made to cover it with plastic.

His name is Takahnru Kobayakawa and he is the ultimate racer. He once said "we chose to make the new RX-7 lighter and more powerful, so it responds to the driv- er’s commands at all driving speeds, not just at higher speed or on race tracks." He succeeded. The RX,.7 we normally get is already mottstrottsly fast, With its sequential twin turbos producing 255 hp from the two-rotor inljne rotary engine. it tips the scales at a dainty l 309 kg (2,885 lbs.)

I would strongly recommend anyone with the 344215 purchase price to invest a few more bucks in a driver's school. And because of the power and weight, this is also no car for those with a leamer's permit, The Dodge Stealth Mn Turbo, for instance, is more driver.. friendly and can be driven casually if so desired. The RX-7 25th can be driven slow but only comes into its own as the design fringes are approached.
