Just Bought an Autozam AZ-1
Last week I bought something so rare and unusual, it makes my old Lotus look like a Camry.
For those unaware (which seems to be most people) this is an Autozam AZ-1. This was made by Mazda in 1992 and has a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine from Suzuki. It has a 5-speed transmission and best of all, gullwing doors. It weighs just under 1600lbs and quite literally handles like a go-kart. You almost forget you're driving on the right hand side, its so small.
As of right now there are maybe 5 other AZ-1s in the country, give or take. Oh and for those curious, I still own the Tommi Mak. It is trying to pass smog right now, so I needed something to get me around town.

Now as for power, I'd say its pushing out about 70hp. That said, I don't care about the numbers, its just too much fun as is! Oh and the car has a roll cage behind the seats, so it's pretty damn stiff. Very comparable to my Lotus, just a lot smaller.
