["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I find it wholly appropriate that you used the rotary engine because 
supposedly JZD tried to buy a GM rotary prototype that was destined 
for the corvette. Needless to say, GM didn't sell the patent to JZD 
and the engine was shelved and never made it into production 
[corvettes].

So...in a wierd way you did what was supposed to happen in the first 
place.
