Missing my ride

If you guys remember, last July, my wife surprised me on the pier with my new RX8. Since then I put about 6K on it driving it like I stole it (averaging about 16mpg). Now I'm about 3 months into another deployment reading the posts craving my ride. The wife is taking good care of her though. My 3 year old insists that they take Daddy's car on dance class days, so she takes the two kids (two car-seats in the back) for a little drive in her a couple times a week and checks the oil level every tank of gas. Good wife, good kids, good car, I miss 'em all.

I have several nieces and nephews. When we have to go anywhere as a family all the kids fight over who gets to ride in my car. Thank you for your service!
