OK if you only had one car IE->me, and its a RX-8. What would you get as a second car?
Thanks for your time

Hmm, how about a 2nd RX-8, yeah!

Seriously - it depends a lot on what you'd use the 2nd car for. For me, a 4wd Pickup is one of my 2nd cars - great for hauling crap that I don't want (or can't) put in the 8, and great for the bad weather (snow, ice, etc.). But, if my needs were for simple commuting and I wanted to keep the miles off the 8, I'd pick up a little econo-box. All depends on what your needs are...

 

AWD Station Wagon.

I hate SUV's and a station wagon can have good handling characteristics, and still haul much volume from a cargo standpoint. Volvo, Audi, or Subaru.

 

Well I'm seriously looing into a second RX-8... What do you guys think?.

 

I'd recommend this:

awd car or a gas container (honda)
this winter im thinking of a honda crx for a beater.
damn im gonna miss the s4 this winter

 

I drive a Toyota Tacoma 4wd for an everyday vehicle. My "8" is really my 2nd vehicle but #1 fun and and what a way to get rid of stress!!!!!!!!

 

I guess we really need to know what you need this second car for. If its just for winter, than a crappy little econobox will do. If you need more room or to tow some stuff, a wagon will do. I hope its not to save miles on the 8, i disagree with this mindset, you might as well enjoy it while you have it. If you want something to tow your 8 and a set of racing wheels/tires to the track pickup truck. But NEVER buy and SUV!

at suv!!
haha we got rollseyes

 

Any new Toyota.....even the Echo.....

 

I can understand having a truck, but good lord I'd go crazy if I had to drive one every day. Talk about boring!

For a while I had an '86 base RX-7 as a daily driver, and my '88 turbo as the project car. That '86 was a blast to drive. It was also rough enough that I wasn't worried about the paint and interior, but still looked decent.

1st and 2nd gen RX-7 are real damn cheap, parts are cheap and commonly available, and they're a ton of fun.

rock, rock on...

 

still think we gotta do an engine swap in that echo keech... get a 13b in there, manual tranny... NOS.... hehehe just bugging ya man

 

I'd have to choose one of two routes, if it was to have a beater, I'd maybe get a Protege or something like that.

If it was to have an even more fun car, I'd get a Beck 550 Spyder or a Lotus Super 7 copy or something.

 

Well guys I work 2 jobs. Well kind of. See I take my girl to work at 5:30.am pick her up at 1:30.pm then I go to work from 3.pm till 11.pm. Yea I love driving my RX-8 but I need a second car. Its too much driving for me and no sleep + I'm to burntout for the jym and that bad.

 

Mazda 3 or Mazda 6

 

Definitely an awd subaru would be perfect second car for me. I wish I could afford it. I'd have to choose between the new legacy GT turbo sedan, or the STI. I'd probably go with the legacy, since it's more luxury, and still has quite a bit more hp then the rx8. I already built mine on the website, but I am dreaming, because I still ow $15k on my rx8.

 

A Toyota Prius would be a great addition, another concept car with an entirely different focus.

 

Subaru Legacy

 

Get a mazda 3 or 6.There fun to drive so you wont cry everytime you go from your 8 to one of them.

 

Well guys I'm looking into a home right now but if that dont work out. Look out Mazda here I come. Me thinking SUNLIGHT SILVER METALLIC with a MT. Well I'll just have to wait an see. Wish me luck with a new home.

 

an rebuilt of 1986 Toyota Corolla "AE86" so i can practice every kinds of shifting or even drifting if possible, and still be a daily car!!! :D

 

VW Golf R32.

 

Like this one?







And this one....



I had 5 of the little suckers. Those were the best. They were project cars, that were like 60% finished. Never ever had one all done.

 

OK found a nice home for $275K. 0% an I do mean 0% down. OR... A GT RX-8 TI-G for $37K. What you think.

 

Go with the house. You can't live in a car forever .

If I wanted a second car, I would wait for the R35 Skyline .
