I just got my RX-8

I know that the old timers must get tired of these threads, but I felt I needed to post it.

I just picked it up today and for the first time ever, the 75 mile drive back home was a joy and went much too fast (maybe the last part was my fault).

It is a Velocity Red GT package with black/red leather, 6MT, 6 disc changer, appearance package, rear spoiler and rotary accent package.

This car kicks ***! After so many years of driving "practical" cars, I have finally been set free. Woohoo!

Congratulations, my friend. Someday soon I hope to join you in paradise.

Until then, my Sunfire carries me slowly--economically, but slowly--across the Styx.

Peace

Welcome--RX8s seem to want to go 88 mph.

I think that I saw 88 more than once during the ride home.

Congrats, you will enjoy the car! Mine is identical and I've had it 7 months and 9k miles, still gets favorable comments from strangers!

I understand! Just drove mine off the lot last week after lurking here for months trying to make up my mind ... RX-8 or G-35 Sports Coupe. RX-8 Owners Club was a factor in making the choice.

Love my 8! Just have to keep finding places to go so that I can get through the break in period having been "good"

Spin 'em - you and I have the exact same taste! (and the same car/color/options). Good choice!

I've got 200 miles on mine, so I'm also looking for some trips to take for break-in.

Isn't it fun to think of places to go, knowing that you'll be the whole time!

I've been lurking there too (NW forum). Nothing close enough to me at this time. As far as I know, I have the first one in this small valley. I've seen 1 in Twin Falls which is about 75 miles from me. I'm sure Boise has a few, but I haven't seen anyone talking. When I can find something do-able, I am there!

I thought that with an RX-8 I wouldn't need the hookers anymore.
