Cool I am enjoying the heck out of my Eight right now

After having my car in the shop for a great while and now that I have it back. I am enjoying the heck out of this machine right now. Everything that I went through getting it fixed is now all forgiven. It is running great and it is clicking like no other car I have driven. I have been taking my daughter to day care every morning and it is on a road with some sweeping curves. It has been a great joy to drive a sports car I can transport my kid in. Anyways I have been reading a ton of threads on some RX-8 hate and sob stories (mine included) and figured I would lighten things up a bit. Keep the faith rotor heads!

Who's Manuel? and why is he shifting your car?

Glad you're finally enjoying your 8. It's a nice change of pace.

You didn't have to fight the mechanic in a phone booth did you?

I almost had to! They got it straight in the end. Why are you so obsessed with phone booths?

Great to hear man. It's fun hearing good stories rather than people always whining about everything.

Indeed!

I'm not an engineer, but I can certainly appreciate the amazing concept of the rotary engine, which helps me enjoy the car even more.

The other day my friend was saying something negative when he noticed how much gas my car burns. Instead of whining I responded by saying that I purchase every gallon of gas with no regret as the driving experience is worth every penny
