He is just not that into you RX-8 content

The time came for me to get rid of the old RX-8 has come unfortunately. Never really posted many pictures of it but it was WWP with SSR SP1's in matte black. I would like to thank all the people who helped me in the forums. I am going to another forum boards but will stop by from time to time. Here is what replaced the old eight.

Nah, I see them as the modern day equivalent of the V8 MG GTs.

Nice replacement. Funny, a local memeber named Kevo traded his 8 for an M Coupe. Sorry but his owns yours.

Congrats! I would've gotten an S54 if I didn't need back seats! Great iconic car. Might consider one down the road too. But likely the Z4 version. Heh!

as for the thread title is was my poor attempt at being somewhat funny, I picked up the car for around 15k, it has 100k miles on it and its a 2000. Now for the goodies it has a racing dynamics exhaust, turner motorsports intake, upgraded software, TCKline coilovers and the BBS RK's in 18x8.5 and 18x10. I really liked the RX-8 but ever since I traded in my M3 I really missed the torque and power that these car make.

I love those M Coupes. I casually tried to look at a few when my lease was up to replace the RX8. They are tough cars to find(couldn't find any in my area to test drive).

this one was the only one in my area for 500 miles when I got it. Also it was the lowest priced M coupe at the time within the continental US. Plus the guy put a lot of money into parts and maintenance. All I need now is projector headlights with an HID kit to get better lighting.
