Am I mad considering buying a brand new r3

Ive worked it out with the scrappage scheme and if I px my rx8 it would end up costing another £12,000 that includes all the bells and whistles I'll will be getting around £3000 for my bday in august and earn around £6000 through the summer is this a good idea or a stupid one ???

Gas it like $6.00 USD / Gallon over there can you afford that also? The RX-8 doesn't get good fuel economy and are there any gas guzzler penalties in the UK?

I'm going to Mazda tuesday and the only draw backs I can see are that I will get bored and I will become a control freak over the car like no smoking eating and drinking etc etc. I say get bored I'm sure I won't it's a stunning car and I love the rx8s.
