I Just Gotta Same Something About my R3.....

I just went to the car wash and gave my car a very thorough cleaning. Then I took it out for some spirited driving on some back roads. I just have to say, I got one helluva performance bargain with this thing. $22,000 for a car that does what this thing can do. Geez, what a frickin' deal! The way this thing handles is just phenomenal. I've had 25 cars, and 22 of them have been sports cars. This just might be my favorite. The other two would be my '93 RX7, and a '95 Porsche 968.

Just felt the need to share. Thank you for listening with more enthusiasm and interest than my wife!

Yep at Roger Beasley in Georgetown. Had 6,000 miles on it and not a ding or scratch anywhere. Honestly, I think they would have gone a little lower. I had them untint the windows and take a goofy zoom-zoom sticker off the back. Mazda South had one too, but it was not in good shape.

22k for used with 6k? I LIKE. I saw one the other day and my eyes just are in a gaze every time. I don't care if its not the best car in the world, I still love the rx-8. Currently, at 87,671 miles on my 05' (knock on wood) and I love it!

I think it's the best car in the world for $22k! You should go for it. There are some steals out there right now.

Two reasons. First, I think the dark rims look better without the dark windows. I felt the dark windows took away from the contrast of the dark rims. And second, I have lousy eyes due to a few sports injuries, so I hate tinted windows at night.

And really when it's 110 degrees in the shade, it's hot no matter what you do to the windows.

if had a choice between an R3 and GT, I would've picked the R3.
Too bad I had to settle for the GT.

Ah sweet ride. Yea that was a Mazda corporate demo they been trying to sell it for a few months I saw the ad. Just be aware it probably has had a rough break-in. But since it's series II will be interesting to see how long this bad boy lasts. That's a good deal it's just as good as new.
