Jhae Pfenning welcomes local Mazda RX-7 icon Tim Eull on the Hard Parking podcast, diving into his Arizona car scene dominance with a trophy-laden yellow 1993 RX-7 and original 1979 model. Tim Eull traces his roots from a plaid-interior 1973 Camaro Z28 and Minnesota street racing to rotary obsession, sharing repaint debates, engine reliability tips, and community-focused events. Explore RX-7 history, from 1979 production quirks to the underappreciated RX-8 and Mazda's upcoming hybrid rotary concept.
