Car officially paid off - 49,962mi
its cool looking at the title, with 38mi to spare on my warranty 
time to decide what the next ride will be as this is now my toy....me thinks a used Mazda3 might be a good choice while I wait for the next RX to come out...

You do know that most (if not all) 2004 RX8's had their powertrain warranties extended to 60,000 mi, don't you? Seems to me like you have 10,038 miles left on your warranty.

I want a daily driver, not getting rid of the 8, but to really have some fun with the car it helps to have a daily so I can work on the car at my own pace and not worry about having to get to work on Monday.
3 year loan and large down payment helps

As a VP at a bank (and I don't mean a small branch location), Brillo knows Money 101 in his sleep. He's way past that point. He teaches Money 101 when he gets bored and finds watching paint dry to be too much effort and needs something easier to do.

Probably the same reason 99% of us did. No $30K in savings to throw down on a car. He probably had a pretty decent interest rate too, and over just 3 yrs. that's not throwing (much) money away, especially if he invested some to balance out interest payments. For all we know he put money down on a house or something instead of using it to buy his 8 straight up, which would equal a pretty wise move in my humble opinion.
