Smile Proud owner of new RX-8 R3!

Greetings all. I just bought a 2010 R3 and absolutely love it! I have previously owned a '94 TT Supra, '02 S2000, '06 STI, and '08 STI. My S2000 was my favorite car up to this point but sadly had to trade it in 2006 when I had a second child. During that time on I had two STI's. They are great cars and I liked them but always yearned to get back into a high revving circuit car. Well, a few days ago I did just that. The RX-8 feels so much like my S2000 did and I am so happy to have that feel again in a car. Honestly I have to say the R3 is the best looking car I have ever owned and one of the best I have ever seen. So, that's my story and happy revving to all.

The R3 seemed kinda low already. Anyone have a pic with the R3 rims on the Tiens? I am looking itching to spend some money already.

Congrats on the car, and good choice on the color! Just stay out of AZ, I like having the only Aurora Blue 8 here haha.

Post pics!. And I'd love to hear some more opinions/comparisons between your R3 and your previous cars.

Once I get to do a hard drive in it I will give you all my take. Unfortunately that probably won't be until May.

All that money spent in previous cars and no idea how to post pics? We'll take your word on the R3 but as for the other $100,000 worth of cars...
