1998 Audi A4 1.8T.... Nice car but the engine couldn't handle the beating i gave.... so here i am with a 2004 Titanium Rx-8.... so much nicer

 

See if you can tell what it is. Hint McLaren

 

um no

 

5 cars in 22 years
'71 VW Karmann Ghia - had a black fiberglass nose that tilted forward to get to the fuel filler.
'71 Volvo 142 - lowered, blacked-out chrome & cammed. Still slow as sh-t, awesome brakes.
'76 Mercury Capri - yellow/tan/sunroof. Loved that car.
'91 Ford Probe GT - 1st new car, turbo kicking in is way cool except in turns.
'04 RX-8 - I'm in lust! :D

^^^The McLaren looks like a Mercedes. (found it: Mercedes SLR McLaren)

 

I used to have a pearl white '96 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL. It was nice and speedy and had great responsiveness for front-wheel drive. Had to trade it in because it started leaking oil into the combustion chamber and screwing up the smog tests.

I love my RX-8, but I miss that car.

 

remind me not to ecer let you drive my car!

 

I'm just glad I didn't have the same fate in the Miata. I rolled the SC400, but the rear-ender in the RX-8 would have been bad too.

 

1996 Honda Civic I-4
2002 Suzuki SV650s V-Twin
2002 Subaru WRX H-4 Boxer
M998 AMG HMMWV Diesel V8
2004 Mazda RX-8 Rotary

 

1998 Audi A4 1.8t

 

Wow, nice rides.

Does anyone that went from a WRX/STi or a Turbo'd vehicle ever yearn or wish they hadn't left their previous vehicle or is the 8 just so complete it has never crossed your mind?

 

I know of one person that went from a WRX to the RX-8 then turned around and got an STi because he missed his turbo and wanted more power, but I can't think of anyone that has given up an STi for an RX-8. There are some guys here that have gone from WRX to RX-8 so maybe they will chime in, so far all of them seem happy with the RX-8 and don't seem to have any regrets.

 

Ike based on this will you be joining us soon?

 

I do miss the turbo. Hence the one in my '8!

 

04 Mazda 3 manual.........wanted more zoom - zoom!

 

Nope, but there may be an Evo or STi in my garage come spring, or lots more mods on my WRX :D

 

1983 Monte Carlo SS.White/Blue with special SS seats. Which I kept and is now garaged for re-build.

 

Previous car was a Dodge Mirada 1981, bought new in 1981 and sold it with 74000km when i bought the 8.

 

In order of most recent:

'99 Volvo S80 - bought it with 25k miles, beautiful, refined, solid, luxurious, superb audio system, nice sounds from the inline-6, ultimately very boring.

'95 GMC Jimmy - sort of a temporary car, it was a hand me down from my father that I drove for 11 months. It sucked *****.

'99 Chevrolet Blazer - although not exactly sporting, I leased it and got it brand new. It was a beautiful truck that served its purpose (jamming friends in and going bar hopping). I was said to let it go and I should have bought the damn thing.

'95 Chevrolet Z-28 six-speed - my first car was a screamer! I absolutely loved this thing and it kind of defined me in high school and the next couple of years. Ultimately it got me into too much trouble, and I traded it in for my Blazer in 99. This car was a joy to drive as I'm sure you guys can agree... six speed Borg Warner tranny from a Viper, LT1 V8 from a Vette. It was very unrefined, but so is a sawed off shotgun. I had intake, exhaust, headers, Hypertech power programmer. Unlike our 8, these mods really delivered... I had about 350HP and 380FT-Lbs of torque. Black with tan cloth, no CD player! haha I used to spank everyone short of exotics! Sigh, the good old days...

Current: Black with Black/Chaparral six-speed! Loving it!
