The way its looking, Im probably going to keep my Z for a while and the RX-8.. Should be interesting going back and forth between the two.. How many of you have two sports cars? What else do you have?

Honestly, I have gone between the two, first the Z then the RX-8 and the two drive completely different.. I was thinking I would feel really slow in the RX8 but no.. It felt like a different car altogether..

I would sell the Z and put that money into the 8, and just make it insane.

If you can afford it, knock yourself out!

Would having an RX8 and a 1976 Vette with no engine count? (no seats, 3 flat tires, no back glass, etc)

I can give you impressions of driving the 76, but it would consist of me sitting on a tool box behind the wheel while making engine and squeeling tire noises with my mouth.

Love that!

I have a 2005 Rx-8 and 2002 Subaru WRX does that count? Im doing just fine with two vehicles and paying off my other bills as well.

You have both a Z and an 8? Wow. Hats off to you if you have full coverage on both vehicles.

I love the 8, and couldn't imagine getting rid of it. But you could probably get close to $40k for both vehicles. That gets you into new corvette range, or one hell of a down payment on a new M3.

That's the route I would go.

Im glad you made sure you clarified where the squealing noises were coming from:sweatdrop :lol:

Sheesh, who owns new cars outright these days, Its all about financing!

Who owns two somewhat high value cars and finances them? My 8 payment is $500/mo, I couldn't imagine that amt x 2.

If you're financing, sell one. Waste of money to have both if you don't own either outright.

the insurance would actually be alright, since if it's one drive on them, he can only drive each one 1 at a time.

I guess I am in sad shape. I have more cars not running/torn apart than I have running.

The good news is you don't have to add the "not running" cars to your insurance.

The RX8 starts, has kinda sorta AC, and everything currently works on it. That's RARE with the rest of the cars.

Heck, the AC resistor switch in the wife's Tahoe just crispie-crittered two days before we take it on a trip to west Texas. Guess what I got to replace today! I probably lost 3lbs of water weight changing it.

Yeah, got an 04 RX-8 and a 94 RX-7

Me! Hahaha...

(it begins)

How 'bout my 8 and 3 motorcycles? If I had another sportscar, it would have to be a softop.

If I could, I would have a car/truck for every purpose.. sort of like my tools..

I still have my old Miata in the barn garage ... but I need to replace the radiator and alternator belt on it.

Me! Hahaha...

(it begins)

i see one sport compact and no sports cars. :eyetwitch

:lol:

Have the rx8 and the mitsubihi FTO :)

FTO is not worth much, but love her to bits and been using her as a strip and rebuild project for ther past year :D

I still have my old Miata in the barn garage ... but I need to replace the radiator and alternator belt on it.I forgot to include the rationalization part. My 4- and 6-ear-old boys love the Miata as much as I do: top down, special time wit Daddy without the little/big brother tagging along, etc. I've always said that since I have two kids, I ned two sports cars for the inheritane thing to work out right. But with $4/gal gas prices, the Miata's 40 mpg highway is also sunding like a pretty good justification for keeping the Miata.

Mine = RX8

GF = MR2-Spyder (see avatar)


We have 6 seats between the 2 cars. Mine is the grocery getter, hers is the mileage mobile.

Are you talking about a 350Z or a Z06?

I've had my 03 Z06 for 3.5 years now. I bought the RX8 new back in August. I owe 5k on the vette and 9k on the RX8. I hate paying interest so I've been doubling and tripling payments.
And yes, the RX8 feels like a dog in comparison but definitely holds its own around the corners.

RX8 + 84 RX7...mmmmm

Interested in selling the miata? I'm in the market for one, pref. the 1.6.

Or the time :lol:

1999 Z3 2.8 Roadster
2004 RX-8 GT Turbo

I would sell the Z and put that money into the 8, and just make it insane.

The rx-8 is technically not a sportscar according to our insurance company. :) So you are good to go.
But personally I'd sell one of them. Put that into revenue generating income. If the 8 works for you sell the Z. Else keep the Z and get a mazda3. Saving money FTW.

RX8 and Skyline

Interested in selling the miata? I'm in the market for one, pref. the 1.6.It would have to be a pretty good offer. I presume I could get more by selling my summer wheels (6.5-lb CE28Ns) and hardtop separately. Has a newly re-upholstered leather interior ... oh you can get most of the details here:

we have 2 in our household. the 8 is my girlfriends and i drive an srt-4. the mazda is bone stock as of right now. warranty just ran out, so we're gonna start modding it soon. have a few more things to buy for the neon, after that, think we will start with a nice set of coilovers for the 8.
