My new 2010

Here are some pics of my new 2010 RX-8 sport that I picked up yesterday. This thing is an absolute blast to drive, wish I would have made the switch sooner. Hopefully she'll hold up well to my 100mi a day commute to work. Looking forward to learning more about the car.

Nope, gonna stay just like that. One reason why I picked this over the ms3, I didn't want to mod the hell out of it. I say that now, but who knows.

Congrats on the new car but you bought an rx8 for a 100 mile daily commute? I think you'll find out soon that you may want another car after you figure out the gas mileage. As much as I love this car it really eats through gas. The engine is just too much fun to rev.

You sound like you have some basic ideas of what to expect from the RX8 and you are ready for it. Welcome and congrats on the new ride!

You know it's funny, I was 99.9% sure that you lived in LA based on the pictures of the houses and stuff.

I'm near New Orleans. Welcome and great car!

I never noticed the rear bumper in between the tail pipes on the R3. Nice.

There is a regional forum for our area.

Where do you work that is 100 miles away?

I bought both my RX-8's at Paretti

It will be an enjoyable 100mi commute everyday. Well, until you hit the gas station 3x a week LoL

Take care of her--- Break the drivetrain in properly (1k)

I work shift work, 5 days one week and 2 the next so it's not that bad. My '09 F150 crew only got 18mpg but I was able to get over 400 miles to a tank. I swear I filled up the 8 the other day and drove "briskly" for a little while and I'm already on half a tank.

Thanks. And yeah I've already been looking at stuff to do to it. I can't stand having a quiet car so I've been eying the racing beat exhaust. But this stock radio sucks something terrible, deff gonna have to fix that first.
