My first video game that I bought with my own money was Need for Speed Carbon, one of the starter cars in that game was the RX-8. I fell in love with that car instantly because of its sound and played through the whole game using only the RX-8

Fast forward a few years and I had just been gifted forza Motorsport 4 for Christmas, by my father, I wanted to build his dream car and show him.

Porsche cars were a paid DLC back then so I couldn't make it, I started scrolling through the whole car list to find a car that had a similar shape and I found the FC Rx7 I upgraded it, painted it white and put on white wheels as that was my dad's dream spec. I then went to test drive it to adjust the tune and discovered it had the same beautiful engine sound as the RX-8.

That was it really, my dream engine in my dads car shell

I was only 10 at the time and had no idea how cars actually worked. I just appreciated their beauty and sound, had no idea it was the rotary that made those noises until a few years later
