My new car - 09 RX8 R3
Picked up an 09 RX8 R3 two weeks ago, love the car. Can't wait until spring
Only able to take a few pics before heading off to storage for the winter

Very nice! It's just like my '09. But I'm not putting it away for the winter, I am putting on Blizzaks for its third winter of fun!
Whoops, didn't notice this is the Canadian section. I won't get snow like you guys up North and I have a Forester if it gets really bad.

Nice ride man. I have a 2010 R3 and love it...puts a smile on my face every weekend.
Don't store it yet!!! We probably have 5 or 6 weekends before the snow starts to stick to the ground. I stored mine in mid-December last year and then ended up pulling it out of the garage 8 or 9 times between then and March as we had a nice dry winter. If you're lucky, you can pickup some good high-perf winter tires from Tire Rack on clearance. I got 19 inch Blizzaks mounted on rims for under $1000 last October.
The one thing that I recommend is joining the BMW Club and taking their Advanced Driving course at Mosport in the spring. It's the best $500 you'll spend (2 full days of 1-on-1 instruction on an epic race track). It will give you a good sense of what the car can do.

^ For winter tires Kijiji is your friend. A few years ago I paid $220 for X-Ices with a couple of thousand KMs tops, the little knubby pieces were still fresh on the tires.
