In a bold move that would make even the most seasoned petrolhead raise an eyebrow, Janna Fidalgo, the fearless automotive enthusiast, ditches her trusty BMW M3 for the tantalizing allure of a 1999 Mazda RX7 FD Type RS. The RX7, a JDM masterpiece, captures Janna's heart with its twin-turbo twin-rotor engine, spitting flames and exuding a childlike charm that her M3 simply couldn't match. It's a daring leap into the unknown, a plunge into the realm of quirky, offbeat cars that speak to the soul of a true car enthusiast.

As Janna delves into the world of RX7 ownership, she likens it to the intricate art of parenting, with each owner having their unique approach to maintenance and care. The meticulous research and attention to detail required to ensure the RX7's well-being only add to the mystique of this Japanese legend. From checking compression on the rotors to scrutinizing the car's history, Janna embraces the challenge with gusto, determined to give her new ride the love and care it deserves.

The 99-spec RX7, boasting upgraded internals, a bolder aesthetic, and a power boost, stands as a testament to Mazda's engineering prowess. Janna revels in the car's distinctive features, from the dual-valve stems on the wheels to the iconic popup headlights that harken back to a bygone era of automotive design. With a clean engine setup and a cockpit adorned with gauges, the RX7 offers a driving experience like no other, transporting Janna to a realm where time stands still, and the joy of motoring reigns supreme. Car Throttle playfully ribs Janna for her audacious swap, a move that challenges conventional wisdom and celebrates the unbridled passion that drives every petrolhead to seek out the extraordinary.
