Oh, I had the "*****" (ooh, should I put it that way?). But I though you meant "Old". Hah!

You see, I have a twinning of identity for all but the "A", I spent the first 6 years of my life in the land of the whingers. Suppose that makes me a BFPC then :D

Dez I had the Integra Type R for 4 years with the Recardo seat Do you want to know what I think?

I think the Recardo is pretty good - hug you extremely well... After 4 years you will find the side arms are starting to sack... I think more suited for my fat ***! Anyhow the standard seat in the RX8 is not really hugging but the cockpit itself is very comfortable without any knocking around I think it can be tolerated. Think of sitting in a tight Recardo seat for interstate or country trips ---- it is not very comfy at all... I would not recommand to have the Recardo seat unless you REALLY want one - By the way... it does not match the interior anyway.

You guys are getting back on the topic too much

Personally, I find the stock 8 seats great. As I do a lot of long distance, I in fact opted for the cloth, because I just find that more comfortable over leather.

Now that we've done body mass, are there any dentists out there to remind us about flossing? :D

(I sorta see the 8 as a potential car for dentists -- IMO, they do seem to have the most spectacular mid-life crises!)

What do you call a post mid-life crisis? Actually, how do you know you're having a mid-life crisis if you don't know when the middle of your life is? (That's me just getting morbid again - I think I need another fix of driving my 8 - always makes me feel good).

Well, the way I see it - regarding mid life crisis, if one applies the laws of relativity to the average RX8 driver, then it stands to reason that when driven properly, an RX8 will move your midlife crisis back a number of years - motion, of course, slows time - one of the more worth while effects of the law of relativity. At low speeds, the effect is slight and makes no difference to our daily lives. So the key is of course to keep the speeds "up"!

Unfortunately, Paul Davids and a bunch of his Aussie cronies recently concluded that the speed of light has slowed down over time. Seems that this soft of thing happens to most things over time * hee hee *.

Mid life crisis is the one you have between your early life crisis and your later life crisis. I seem to have managed to have ironed out the bumps in between and made my entire life one long crisis...

I can't imagine what it would be like to be alive and not want something new or have the urge to do something fast or a little dangerous. (Does it feel like being an accountant?)

Dunno about accountancy, but have done enough IT project management to have some sense of that feeling… :p

I think I have had more than one mid life crisis. My cousin strangely has an interest in cattle at the moment. He told me we will know when he is going through a mid life crissis when he brings home some RED cows. Hehehe!

Back on topic (what the '8 really needs) - how about a Grill kit?

Cheers,
Hymee.
