When I get motivated, I can be overly dedicated to that topic or object, especially if I feel it serves or can represent something of significance. Sometimes I do these things ambiguously (self serving and for the bigger picture/greater good). October 2016 was the first time I went to Japan with the sole purpose of meeting the Leopard community. Before Facebook, many of us on F31club w...

81-86 4th gen Mazda Luce/929 (HB)

This was the sibling car to the Mazda HB Cosmo. This car exported as a 929 and offered only in piston motor (compared to the Japanese Luce with rotary turbo option). The Luce was also never offered in coupe.
