so its been almost a year with the 8 and 2000 miles finally so i decided to see whats this baby made of

rev to 6 and drop the clutch OH MY GOD!!!!! my wheels are freaking out and im at a stand still then i go flying

quiet a suprise for an automatic civic owner!


but i must say having an open road has thought me the limits of the 8 and i learned i wasnt even pushing at the last auto x!!!


now i wish my rents were billionaires so id have an open road in my backyard

wow... you've had your 8 for almost a year & only have 2000 miles on it... damn...

Loaded8

lol, maybe it's a typo and should read 20,000 miles!!!! I think people put more miles on a bicycle in a year... that's not much.

DOMINION

I think this is week 4 for me and my 8 has... 1,158 on her.

LBrx8fan

Low milage is one thing, but you haven't gotten "on it" for a year? And I thought I was conservative! Enjoy the car man! It was born to be wild.

Shocka

yes it was a typo i have 2195 miles

yeah i didnt drive the car in the winter at all and i dont take it to work so it gets lots of sittign time.

kbull

I have 2k on mine in about 6 weeks. Most of that being driven like it was stolen

Winning_BlueRX8

8 months, 8600 miles for I. I chirped the tires in third gear the other day. It was neat, but only happened cuz I missed the gear.

I have had my car for just over 6 months and I have more than 9k miles on it. Make sure you hold down the DSC button until the car and squiggles light up on the dash and stay on. Then do your 6k rpm drop. Your car will really take off then not hindered by the Traction Control system.

That's gotta be the record Shocka. Mine'll be a year old mid July and I just turned 5,000 miles. My commute is about 3 or 4 miles roundtrip. I've yet to take a roadie, but am feeling the need for some Carolina mountain driving.

4600 kms (2860 miles) since last July. I think I can here it yelping like a greyhound waiting to race... spring is here so the miles should begin adding up.

greyhound

I've had my car FOUR DAYS and already have almost 500 miles on her! I'm finally running all those errands I was putting off for weeks... I can't stop driving it. And when I'm not driving it, I'm looking at it. I think I'm in love...

I can't wait until it's really broken in (in my opinion that means 2000 miles) so that I can drive it the way it should be driven!

rx-cars_rock

I got my Z06 last august and I have already put close to 5000 miles on it. I only drive it when its nice out and definitely only occasionally in the winter.

thew

hehe mine 8 has 600 miles not.. 3 weeks old..

but I drive it like it was ment to be driven.. Remember the engin has some serious breakin time from the factory. Drive that Car !!!!

RXDave

Yeah well I live 4 minutes from work so I can barely get the engine up to temp! Mine is 9 months old and has 1600 miles on it.

greyhound

RXDave, don't you ever just "go for a drive"? To me it seems like a waste to use an RX-8 just to commute for 5 minutes! Maybe you're working too many hours -- you should quit your job and drive to all 50 states... (I'm just bustin' your ***** -- no insult intended.)

Shooter

mine has 4100 miles on it. bought it dec 13. took a roadie at christmast of 1200 miles...... my commute to work is 6 miles roundtrip but i drive the hell out of it for those 6 miles!

RXDave

GreyHound no insult taken! Fact is most of those 9 months have been during the winter in cleveland so I haven't taken it out much. This will be the first full Summer of driving it and I have a whole lotta miles planned!

spdspappy

Bought 4 Sept. 2400 miles (MANY of which are autox days). Is not my dd & I live in TX (no snow).

93rdcurrent

Winter whatever you panzies! I drove my car to Santa Cruz, CA. for the holidays!!! that's about 3,500 miles round trip and through the Siskiyou and Cascade mountain ranges. Don't use winter as an excuse not to let your car stretch its' legs.

doc.marx8

2 months, 3000 miles and worth every foot travelled! but dang, i envy those who can manage to keep low mileage, Its hard to lease a car in california, this state is too big, and with the annual mileage restrictions, its too limiting. anyhow, i knew i wanted to own this car, it is definitely a keeper, maybe i can stretch 16 years, like my 88 convertible!

happy rotoring!

red_rx8_red_int

I'm not worrying about my milage either because I plan on keeping my baby for a long time. Maybe with some good inflation and becoming a classic, my 04 8 will be worth more than I paid for it even with 200-300k miles in 2014 when the third or fourth gen 8 comes out.

DrRadar

Two weeks today and 1200 beeping miles.
No tickets. Just a couple of blue lights.
Passed by 1 f-16.

lafrad

Got mine on March 23rd with a couple miles on it. Will trip over 3700 miles on it this coming weekend, and it sat at the dealer for a week getting an oil change and the "M" flash when I was away (flew to Coeur d'Alene for business)

so what is that, 3.5 weeks 1000 miles a week?

;-)

edit: heh.. had the month wrong.

yes, thats 2004


if it was May of last year, it would be QUITE A BIT more than 3.5 weeks.. sheesh
