Happy anniversary to my 8
Today is the 9th anniversary of picking up my '04 black 8. Can't believe it's been that long. I still enjoy driving it more each day. It is too bad Mazda gave up on the car, it is a wonderful car to drive and I've always have gotten 18 to 20 mpg in mainly city driving. I am keeping it as long as it runs (I also have a 23 year old RX7 'vert).

Congrats!
It's too bad that more like you – who make up the majority of RX-8 owners – don't show up here. (Then again, with nothing to complain of and not needing solutions to problems, why would you???) |
Congrats and keep on keeping on!

But I'm thinking I'm not going to trade this one. Ken |
Happy Anniversary! I'm keeping mine for a long time to come too.

Congrats.
I've never kept a car that long. I get bored with them, I guess. I generally swap cars after a year or so. Every time I think about replacing my 8 (now at two plus years), I look at the car and think no. If I did it, I'd just end up hating myself the next day. I can't come up with anything I'd be willing to replace it with. It certainly isn't perfect, but it pushes more of the right buttons. |
I am the same way but I stopped at the Eight. It is the car I had been looking for forever. If my current one dies a horrible death. I will either fix it or get another one.

Mine is eight years old and I've had it since I took it in as an orphaned one year old.
We're celebrating by supporting Mazda at the Grand Prix of Mosport Mazda Corral. |
