I got one!

Today I got a USED Nordic Green 6spd SP! :D I already love it. This makes 8 number 2 in the same house (my dad, omnc, has one too).

I know this will start a flame war, but yes, I am young (18). I got it as a birthday/graduation/eaglescout/4.1student/college graduation/midlifecrisis/retirement present all in one ^_^.

Now I gotta find a better job so I can pay for my own insurance, gas, and mod money.

congrats man! i am 23 but i bought mine myself.

like someone else said. you sound like a responsabl person, drive it that way, the last thing i want to see is an RX-8 that has been run down to the ground by some kid that does not know how to take care of it. this isnt a honda civic, so dont treat it like one.

anyways, didnt mean to bash, i hope you love it as much as i love mine!

Congrats rxsleeper! Mine is kind of a graduation present too... from myself for finally getting my Masters deg. My excuse is that it has been 13 years since I got my Bachelor deg, I should reward myself a little :D

Congrats to you! Who cares if you're young? No flames from me. You know you're lucky, you're paying for your insurance and gas, you obviously appreciate the gift, and your dad has great taste in cars
