I think second-guessing is normal when one makes a significant purchase. I also have a 2005 sunlight silver GT, and for the longest time, I was not happy with color. I should have gotten red, blue, titanium gray, geen, and on and on. It took a while, but I really like the silver. Maybe not as sharp as the darker colors, but not nearly as much work as the black cars I had for the 15 years previous.

No matter what I choose I second guess.. If I got black, I should have gotten silver. If i got silver it should have been black.

I find that the one I have to ask the most people for their opinion on, is the one I should always stay away from. I find that when I ask others opinions, I am trying to rationalize a choice I don't want.

Take Black for instance. I have asked a bunch of people here and at work what they thought of a black rx8. I got a bunch of different answers and I kept asking until I got an answer that was either mostly negative or positive ( which is what I was hoping for)

So I am buying a Silver one. I have not asked one person what they though of silver.

I am also getting the Sport with the performance package for Manual transmission. ( as opposed to a GT)
Didn't really need to ask anyone their opinion on the two but I did need to clarify certain objective statistics such as headroom, equipment levels etc..

I am still FIRST guessing my purchase.

I will get back to you when I reach the SECOND guessing phase

Well whatever other car you have on your mind, try going out in it, whether it be a friends car or a rental, see how many heads you turn. Count them. Then get back in your 8 and see how many you turn. 60% of the time it works everytime.

I am second guessing myself now as well.

Why did I purchase our RX8 last March?


I should have bought it back in 2004 when they were introduced!

Why did I wait so long?!?

I didn't know!

Lol, actually, isn't that some place where a tank was housed, and they brought the 8 in and dropped it there? I don't know, I read somewhere about it, and I can't remember 100% what really happened.

On track, OH GOD SILVER RUUUNNNN!!

He must have gotten rid of it already and was scared to come back and tell everybody what he traded it for.

silvers aren't cursed per-say

what ever color Taj owns is cursed

so in a few days all the Red rotaries will slowly disintegrate into nothingness

your engine will randomly overheat, your turbo will blow smoke, your sparks will blow out, your coils will fry because of some random map that put the dwell setting to 4.0

so better watch out :D

Once I thought, "I should have gotten a Civic and a CBR600RR".
Then I realized how awesome it is to drive the 8 every day and plan to settle for an F3 :)
