great we love the rx8..but whats your second car?
do u guys have a second car that u love as much as your 8?..oh wait let me rephrase...what is your second car? anyways i ask since we are planning on getting a 2nd car...maybe something being gas efficient...... 3.50 for premium gas just sux :( . also we need space since going to costco and home depot is a pain lol
|
Jeep Wrangler.. :) Take out the back seat and you have a 2-seater with plenty of room. Get a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited if you need room and the back seat installed. :)
|
hopefully, this will be my 2nd car (once it's available)
http://www.grabercars.com/ Probably with a Toyota 1zz supercharged and SMT or a 2zz and a 6spd. Nothing like a 1700lb (with interior and driver) mid-engined car with 4.xx sec 0-60's, and mid to high 30's mpg (guestimate). |
My second car is a 88 mazda RX-7 NA, two seater with a lot of space on the back.
|
1995 Ford Probe GT as seen in this thread... https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/just-some-pics-my-girls-90409/
It's a very fun car and gets 30mpg highway. :) |
1993 Mazda Mx-6 LS. Faster and almost as much fun as the 8.
|
My second car is a 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 with upgrades. Fastest car I've ever owned, and the best car in the snow I've ever owned (It's my winter car, but I drive it to work, until i move into my new house). I knock down 30 MPG if I stay off the boost, or I get significantly less if I beat on it, but have more fun.
My third car (my wife's car, now) is a 1996 BMW 318ti. 35 MPG, and if you get the clubsport model, it handles really nice. Great all-around car (and it's a hatch, so it has lots of flexible room). |

My 2nd car is the '64 Stingray rag top.
|
Second car? Must be nice. I don't need a second car anyway, but I guess if I won the lottery maybe I'd get one.

Mazda Tribute LS-V6
|
civic.
|
99 cavalier, i'll keep it until the engine dies
|
96 Maxima, pushing 175k miles but still runs smooth.
|
96 Toyota pick up truck with 60K. One owner. Picked it up from my friend for $1,400. Thing looks brand new. Looking into a 240 real soon.

The 8 isn't my daily driver, I have a 2001, B-3000 for that. The wife drives her 2003, Miata or our 2006, Jeep Wrangler. The Miata gets great gas mileage of all my vehicles.
|
I love my daily driver, it's a 2002 Toyota Tacoma Dbl Cab Prerunner...Carries the kids and the dog, hauls the toy trailer (dirt bikes and quads) and gets 21-22 mpg. Hard tonneau cover (locks) is great for grocery haulin', etc.
My other speed fix (I love sportbike riding) doubles as a gas/time saver, a 2001 Honda CBR 929. My wife's vehicle is a 2003 Toyota Sequoia Limited (the "family car"). It's a great, plush, as well as comfortable ride, gets 17-18 mpg on the freeway. It carries a month's worth of groceries in one trip. |
My wife has an '05 Honda Pilot EX-L w/RES and we also have a '99 Honda Civic EX Coupe 5M. The Civic gets the same gas mileage as my Pilot and RX8 put together!
|
E36 M3 coupe. yay.
|
Miata is my next daily driver, I had a 92 SE-R before also and it was a great little beater.
If i get a raise soon I'll probably make the 8 a daily and pick up an Elise. |
The 8 is my second car. I drive a '96 Ford Probe GT ATX for commuting to work. It's taken a beating but has required very few repairs for a 120k car. Maintenance costs have been fairly high due to the beating, but that's true with all the cars I have had.
Actually, I find the transition from a Probe GT/MX-6 LS to a RX-8 fairly direct. 7k redline, all top end/no low end, handles better than it does a quarter mile, really fun drives, and both have the cupholders right where your elbow is when shifting. The probe has infinitely more trunk space. |
2nd car? My 8 is my daily driver...and we have a Mazda6 for my wife. One day...my 8 might be my 2nd car and the new Camaro or Evo X would be the daily.
It all depends on what Mazda does with the future of the RX8. But...I don't got the money for 2 cars nor the space (2 car garage). |
1 car and 2 sets of tires. All I need in Chicago.

96 Blazer with 132K
03 Eclipse with 75K 92 Prelude with 35K 03 GSXR 750 8K |
