couple questions on a couple of 8s
i'm looking at 2 rx8s, one red and one silver, both MT 05.
on the red, i had odd trouble getting it in reverse. little weird but it went after that no problem. also the shif **** is scratched. is there a stock replacement i can get? there is no sunroof and i think its touring but for the price i can get past that.
on the silver it also has the same scratches on the shift ****. it has some grey residue on the inside of the headlights. the dealer said they would fix that but is it anything to worry about? i ddint get to test drive that one yet but i will in a couple days. btw its a GT.
is there anything else i should ask about? or look for?

i drove the silver GT and i think that's it. not my first choice of color but the deal will suck me in. in fact i have come to enjoy the color. i checked for recalls and there are none to be done. my mom keeps telling me there is something wrong with the brakes but i disagree. they make a low humming sound. i think its just outside noise of the car slowing.
otherwise i think we will seal the deal within a couple days.

doesnt matter. im looking at the silver GT.
i hear a thud when it is put into gear and does that for every gear through about 4th.
also, i had the parking brake engaged, when i sat in the car it started to roll backwards. not good.
is there anyway i can convince my dad that redlining is OK in this car?

I have the same problem. He keeps telling me that i am stupid and i don't know anything about cars. My dad thinks the lower the rpms the longer the engine will last.

That's the way to think non-rotary!
lol
he come from non-rotary roots. he has had his fair share of fast cars but none of the you could redline.
