'02 Explorer XLT (also in Brilliant Black :)

And for a month I also still had my '96 Miata M-Edition, but it finally sold last week.

We're thinking about the Inifinti FX45 as an Explorer replacement at the end of the year... that thing is the hottest SUV I've ever seen.

See sig. line below. And if you count the b/f's stable, include an '89 Camaro IROC-Z, a '70 El Camino, a '90 Miata w/ lots of mods, and a Harley FatBoy. We need a bigger garage!

See the sig. The Expedition just got back from it's 3rd brake service in 4 months. It's on it's way to being replaced. Not sure yet by what, but probably another SUV.

See the sig. They all compliment each other well in the practicality department (one 2 seater, one wagon, one 4 seat--sorta 4 door). Better yet, they all perform very well.

Wife drives a 94 Corolla wagon. I traded in the family car(2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara) for the RX8. So I had to get her something.

Twin 8s!
01-15-2004, 08:32 PM
Well....

I guess if you ask me... my other car is an RX-8... but if you ask my wife... the other car is an RX-8....:D :D :D :D

We have two and we race each other all the time.

PS... My says her's is faster.

01-15-2004, 08:56 PM
Wow. Two RX-8s?
That would drive me nuts.
Then again, it would be nice to have a bone-stock RX-8 laying around to do comparisons with on my "tweaked" 8.

As for other vehicles:

'97 Miata with a custom T3/T4 turbo, intercooled. About to put an E-Manage in that car too.
Sold the MX-3 for the RX-8. It was similarly turbo'ed, as well.
'95 Civic. Its GOOD! (for me to poop on!)
'83 Yamaha Maxim 550
2x '85 Suzuki GS 550
Looking to get another Miata in a month or so for the SO.
Probably ditch the Honduh.

No RX8 yet... have to sell one of these beasts first.

Between the wife and I we've got...

1994 Mitsu 3000GT VR4 (blue)
1999 Honda DelSol
2002 New Beetle
2003 Mercedes CLK500
2003 Suzuki Katana 600

Guess which ones I've agreed to sell. :)

Success:

Nah, the beetle stays, though she has agreed to get rid of it in favor of an Infiniti G35 Coupe after we get my 8.

I'm selling my 3000gt and she's selling her Del Sol. That will get us down to two, (the bike doesn't count :) ) and green lights my 8 purchase. The real challenge will be deciding which car to take to work each day. :)

I wish any of our kitties were that calm... I found the avatar on the net somewhere. Mine would never sit still long enough to get photographed like that. :D
