I’m not the biggest fan of roadsters but I am a big fan of RX-7s. It’s a timeless classic that everyone can appreciate, especially for the unique rotary engine. This picture comes from @the_kyza, a concept artist that creates super outlandish renders of cars and this is his latest creation. The topless RX-7 probably isn’t something that anyone really asked for, but now that they’ve seen it, they want it.
His work is simply amazing and definitely worth checking out. He does everything from widebody McLaren F1’s to slammed DeTomaso Pantera’s. And if you can’t bear to imagine any of those things then you can just remind yourself that it’s just a render, no matter how real they look.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! All the bars are closed here, but I panic-bought Guinness last Sunday. Be prepared.
We’re under shelter-in-place orders, but it’s okay to go out and get exercise, so I rode the old Laverda around for the first time in months. Laverdas need exercise, too! Two Wheel Tuesday, right?
Boredom found me reviewing whatever YouTube videos I’ve bookmarked over the years, and this old chestnut pretty much sums up my shelter-in-place lifestyle.
It’s actually attractive but I feel like a roadster FD detracts from its seriousness.
Needs shooting brake?
An FD RX-7 “bread van” has potential
Should that be “tofu van”, or has that role already been filled by a certain AE86?
Impressive render, but it sits way too low. Like a toothpick will scrape your oil pan low.
If you ever wondered how you clear an avalanche off a road when there is no traction to do that and you haven’t heard of bulldozers, don’t despair. Here is how you stresstest a plow truck:

Very similar to a friends’ farm that has some gullies completely taken over by blackberries – if they want to cross the method is exactly the same except some of the plants/branches can be pushed up over the roof of their 4wd, an old Nissan Patrol G60, with a bullbar.
Gorgeous car makes gorgeous convertible. Film at 11:00! haha
OMG I totally forgot I saw this Teslamino (Model S-lamino?) yesterday. I may be the first Hoon to spot a Teslamino in the wild, which gives me naming rights. Any suggestions?

I think that’s a Model 3-amino! Regardless, that’s quite a thing.

Is that Truckla, or did somebody else decide to ape that build? Regardless, there’s a video floating around about the creation of a Model 3-amino, christened “Truckla” — worth checking out!
Yep, that’s Truckla. More info in Wednesday’s Last Call. (Meaning I finally googled ‘teslamino’.)
Honestly, I think removing the top takes away some of the “exotic” quality of the RX-7. It looks a lot like a modified, ridiculously lowered NA Miata. I’d be more inclined to start with a Miata and give it a sweeping hardtop.
The guy does nice photoshop work, though.
