clean looking car, get some Back to Black or something similar for the rear diffusor/exhaust area. looks way to gray.

Driving the Rx8's great. It gets great gas mileage but handles like a while.

Jk. It's a great car. A little uncomfortable on long trips, but it's a sports car so go figure.

Hate the Mpgs but what can you do?

Actually 16" Brettus.. But yes that's in the pipe line.. Wheel prices have sky rocketed, even for knock off Chinese wheels. Have my eyes set on bbs lm 19" narrow and wide..
