I drifted my RX-8 and hit a pole....

... It was awful. I felt so bad after I managed to recover. I can't believe something like this happened to me. I'll never be the same again. I don't think insurance pays for these type of things. The car is really beat up. Man o man...


JK, ITS A TOY RX-8! I went to Wal-Mart and got some toy cars. I picked up an RX-8 (Greatest of them all), Evo, STI, 350Z, and an Eclipse. The lady at the checkout was like, "Aren't you a little bit old for this?"

I couldn't help but smile. :D

Jada Toys

They have a lot of them. I think they were $2 each. My grandma thinks I'm crazy too. Shes like, "Why are you so obsessed with that car? You wash it more than you wash yourself!" (I don't know if thats true or my girlfriend would be complaining! :D )

one is never too old for toy cars!! Everytime we are out (walmart, target, etc..) I'm constantly looking for any toy that has to do with the RX8. So far, all I've been able to find is the Import Racer versions (1:64 and the big RC car). Unfortunately, they are both so riced out and covered with stickers it barely resembles an RX8. I think what I'll do is get the large RC car and strip everything off (to include the spoiler) and paint the badboy silver. But, I digress, one is never too old to have toy cars. You're only as old as you feel. Don't let that innerchild within all of us die!! OK, enough corny cliches...

drifting is an accident in the process where you just happen to not hit anything... :D

ROFLMAO expo1. A picture is worth a 1,000 words, and that video is worth a million! Summarized the whole story in a 4 second clip. :D

BTW, that tike-on-the-trike is gonna be one helluva driver if he lives long enough. Check out that controlled countersteer.

I prefer the diecast AUTOArt car. I have one to match my 8, sits on the desk. Right next to the 911 Turbo.

Talking about Autoart, I sent an email asking if they will be making a Sunlight Silver RX-8, here is the response:

Thank you for your inquiry.
However we do not have plan to make this RX8 in Sunlight Silver color.
Best regards,
AA Collection Ltd


That blows!

There is a RX8 slot car available. I believe it is in 1/32nd scale and in 2 colors.

I got the Jada RX8 also.
