So your wife is hot and that's where all the money went and why you had to get rid of the RX8? I can't blame you.

Have you considered getting the new Miata and then turbocharging it? Someone said the suspension comes right from the RX8. Is this true?

Honestly, I miss driving my car after one day of not driving it. But more pics with your new car wouldn't hurt.

Sorry you had to get rid of your 8 and don't worry maybe in the future you will be able to get another one.

I agree, I can only go one day without driving my baby! Yesterday I had another of those RX8 moments...I told my wife...

"I love my RX8!!!!!"

Most of us have one HECK of a car...so sweet!!!

It's tough for me because I have to drive my work truck to work every day. So I can only see her at night. It makes seeing the wife that much more difficult :D . I only put 7000 miles on my 2003 6s when I traded it in after two years. I think the same thing will happen with the 8.

Mis-sequenced reply. rx8wannahave thought khtm was talking to him, when khtm was actually talking to twinturbo.

So in the spirit of rx8club.com.... use the search function! :D

Is the GSX stock? Lotsa fun to be had with that car if you're into modding stuff. I too miss the turbo rush/torque of my GS-T sometimes (but not the lag). And you've got a much nicer stereo. And AWD. And decent fuel ecomony and range.

And, if done right and not riced out, I think the 2nd-generation DSMs look great.

Not to hijack the thread, but this was mine after a waxing (a few months before selling for the 8). Needed slightly larger wheels and to be 1" lower... but still IMHO a nice-looking 6-year-old car (at the time).

Just sayin' being "stuck" with a GSX/GST ain't exactly a prison sentence, lol.

Actually it was rather easy since she posted almost as many comments on here as Josh did. I remember both of their names due to some of the past flaming they took for posting her pics. A very nice young couple.

Hmmm, nope...if it were a Velocity Red like mine maybe. For now it stays the pic of the first day my 8 graced my driveway.
