LHpitcher4 04-24-2008, 12:10 AM I guess he wasn't impressed enough to type anything:tear: :tear: :tear: OR!!! Maybe it left him speechless... Lookin' at the glass Half-Full, eh? CarAndDriver 04-24-2008, 12:12 AM must have been a white rx8 in a snowstorm LHpitcher4 04-24-2008, 12:17 AM How could an image project his first impressions of the car anyway? I agree with the WWP in a Snowstorm theory... zerobio 04-24-2008, 11:58 AM Impressive alienRX8 04-24-2008, 12:06 PM The RX8 was there he just forgot to put it into gear and forgot the e-brake so it just rolled out of the thread. zerobio 04-24-2008, 12:12 PM ...and is still rolling ... Silver06 04-24-2008, 01:10 PM ^ LOL He must've had it towed to his garage, where it sat.... :lol: Seriously, O/P, please try again. I am interested...

Good Lord, that is one sexy car I dunno if I can ever drive a "normal" car again. Life is too short to drive a boring car. It is a 2004 Brilliant Black Grand Touring, Black Leather with Sand trim, w/ custom chrome wheels. It will primarily be my wifes car, but we expect to trade off about 1/3 of the time depending on my work needs......and by 1/3 of the time I mean I had it Tuesday, Wednesday, today, hehehe! Will post pics later. JRichter 04-24-2008, 04:55 PM lol, congrats on the car and welcome to the club. CarAndDriver 04-24-2008, 10:43 PM That is called a nano-compact.

Chromey rims. I'm jealous of that brown/black interior, I have sand. To be named later 04-27-2008, 11:50 PM Oh, I forgot to mention, and it is kind of amusing, at least to me. My wife and I went up to Austin to test drive the RX8 and several Honda Elements. Her Celica GT Convertible got totalled recently and she was undecided about getting into another sports car. I had been pushing for an RX8 hard. But after test driving a few Elements I told myself that if she decided on a Honda Element I could live with it. ANYWAY.........I told her that after we took the RX8 for a spin we needed to have some sort of non-verbal body signal, so that we could know what the other was thinking about the car and not be stuck in an awkward situation trying to say yay or nay with the owner two feet away. I suggested something along the lines of her tugging on her ear to signal "I like it...let's talk Price", or a fake cough for her to signal "I don't like.....Lets Pass" My wife said she would get the signals confused, and suggested that the easiest thing to do was a head nod to indicate "I like", a head shake to indicate "I don't like", and a shoulder shrug to indicate "Maybe". So we take a 15 minute drive, she gets it up to 70 mph on some kick-ass curvy roads around Lake Travis, and we get back to the starting point. I give her a eyebrow raise.........she responded with a no-hesitation enthusiastic rapid succession head-nodding like a freaking Bobblehead in an earthquake measuring 9.8 on the Richter scale. Not only did I find it amusing, but it was also reassuring that she liked the car that much and not just because I had been pushing it.
