Berk that. I'd go WOT backing out of my driveway/ Need to keep the plugs clear!
The worst thing was starting the car after lunch break if I ran first heat at a rallycross. Had to keep blipping the throttle for minutes until first run. Idling is death for rotaries. Mazda even had a chart for the MFR engines, it was spark plug life versus idling time. Sparks plugs are good for five minutes of idling and then you have to throw them out.
