Smile Hello! Im New and I want an 8.

Hello! My name is Nick Rugenus. I am 18 and love driving and working on many different cars.

I recently have started to get into the rotary engine. My friend has an RX-7 that he is working on for awhile now. Its looks and sounds hot as hell.

That's who got me into cars into the first place. Now he got me into rotarys and I personally think the RX-8 is one of the sexiest cars made. I am so happy there is a community for this amazing car. Right now I am in the process of saving money for an RX-8. Once I get one I will be making many videos and tutorials on how to do many things. I feel there are not enough videos of the RX-8 on Youtube and I will be here to make that happen. This is really just an introduction to me. If you have any question about me feel free to ask. Talk to you late, Thanks!!

Definitely a fun car, i love my 8 and could never part with it. You'll definitely enjoy it but you have to make sure to take care of it as well. Big things with rotaries is that little extra TLC. Though i know a lot of Porsche owners who put way more TLC in their cars as I've seen any rotary owner do.

Oh yeah definitely, Rotary engines require a great amount of Time and money. That is why I will not be buying it until I have the money and time to support it. Trust me I have read alot about the 8 and now have alot of knowledge. Also, now that I have this site I can ask questions on here. I love it.

^ smart kid. To meany times have I seen and tried to explain to younger people here on the forums this isn't a honda or Nissan you can just go and grab up run around in with no job or little money resources. You're already ahead of the curve when your ready you'll do well and be a welcome part of the family here.

Lol, I try. I really love keeping cars in great shape so I would never buy a car that I couldn't handle. I wouldn't dare let an 8 be tortured and destroyed just because I couldn't afford it. I hate seeing mistreated cars.

Sounds like you have a good plan! Good luck finding a car, remember to get a compression test before buying it!

Are you studying/planning on studying anything in particular (assuming you're still in school)?

Thanks, and I sure will. Thanks for the suggestion. I am in college and my major is cyber security. This is my 1st year.
