Alright!! Big hats off to Jim!! I'm always eager for a new episode and new experience on the road with you Nicole! Seems like a few of the other guys might have been a little scared when it came to you driving their cars. This has to be by far the best! Great build by Jim! It's just...I'm ecstatic about this episode, because, like, zero tension on anyone's part. Just show up and everyone's ready to have fun. And that little machine boogies! I like that Jim was encouraging you to go for the full experience! Gawd! I just love the energy of your show, your knowledge and enthusiasm for automobiles.<br>I wonder, if you could get Jay Leno talked into doing an episode, what car would he choose to share an experience with you!?<br>Keep up the great programming!! Kudos to to everyone who has a hand in putting this content together! This is quality! I mean it is up there with stuff like Jay Leno's Garage in my opinion! With your own spin with a healthy splash of your personality! I can't say enough, how much I love this show!! 🙏👏😍👏

LOVE that Jim actually looks thrilled to have Nicole driving it and doesn't look like he's having a panic attack in the passenger seat! (unlike some past guests)

He even says, “floor it”.... he must be the most easygoing host/ owner. That car rips. <br>I have even more respect for the rotary.🧨

“Traction limited” is an early contender for the understatement of the year.

This must be the ultimate combination... Seven chassis with a turbo rotary. Two things known for a lot of fun in a small package. Pure genius

Not only can Nicole drive, she is one of the few people who can rock a leather hat and goggles😁😁

I know I'm watching a fun video when i suddenly realize my front teeth are dry and my face is stuck in a dorky grin. This was a blast!!

There comes a time when a video about a rotary car doesn't have an unnecessary explanation of how rotaries work, but we're not there yet.

See, this is why you are so cool. These are the type of guys that need some props.. To come up with something like this and put it altogether needs to be showcased. Uh...jeans again. .,"squirrel" Guys like this sure know their stuff. I'm sure they appreciate your interest. It must make them feel so much better when you understand what they are talking about. They really delve into the build because they can tell that you are interested and you understand what they are talking about. Real interesting shop talk. Ughh...and then the drive.. love the camera work in every video so far. So cool. So pretty...btw..hair looks good as it is.
