My friend just WON an RX8
 

my friend back in NJ / NY won an RX8 from MTV. They had a competition sweepstake drawing for an 8 tricked out like it is in the game JUICED for the Xbox. She entered last june and they just called her tonight to tell her she won! How crazy is that ... she is not to thrilled with the bright green paint job so she will probably end up selling it .. GRR wish I could be that lucky!

Why not just repaint it?

They probably continued the green theme on the inside too...

Congrats to your friend. :)

For free I might keep it, but I'll bet it's rice to the max!

Get some pics up....I'm interested to see what it looks like


I wish I was one of these lucky bastards who wins things

yea I'll see if she cvan get photos up .. they say it has 10K dollars worth of "mods" on it ... haha I bet its cheese oroma -- she could repaint it I guess, but that, ontop of income tax and all could make it oput to be pretty damn pricey!

definitely sell it and get some $$$ :D

Rx8
 

If she desides to sell PM me. And send some pictures. I am ready to buy

The paint job is horrible, but sure does attract attention, which is what they wanted for the video game I suppose. However, the upgrades to the cars are actually nice and mild. You can read about the cars here: http://cars.ign.com/articles/599/599758p2.html

I'd just paint it, the interior is not shown in any of the pics so I would guess it is stock. If they sell it can I have the MS speed rims?

OMG a free track car!

ouch!!! my eyes hurt. but hey it's free...well except for taxes. I entered a charity auction for a new Solstice, $50 for a 1 in 2000 shot. If I don't win, oh well, but it would be nice :)

I just had a thought, have her donate the car to say Rotarygod and lets see what kind of power he can get from it. If it blows up who cares it was free (less the taxes)!!!! Then give me the MS rims

thats cool. Id trade people the parts for stock parts and repaint it and sell it
make some cash

although you still have to pay the taxes on it right?

always sell a car you win- pay the taxes and buy something you really want

congrats
I wonder what it would sell for

do the stickers come off? I would pay a shop to take off all the stickers, maybe leave one or two in place, and enjoy the car for a while. Of course, that probably would significantly drop resale... but you don't care, it was free, right?

Exactly...that's the best forumula...

yuk she will NOT be happy if thats what the car looks like! hahaha

i'd take the wheels

Slice it up and stick a couple pieces into a bottle of Corona! :p

theres probably some deal that she has to at least drive a certain number of miles a year... and keep all the badges and stickers.. and rant about how great xbox and juiced are....

btw.. i've played juiced... it's an okay game.. but for that style of street racing game.. go with need for speed 2 or midnight challenge... even tokyo extreme racer...

only thing cool about juiced is that you can hold your own events.. and win turf to race on... but its not that cool....

Interesting article. I wonder what 8 she will get, the show or the track. It sounds like both were beat on though. My guess is the inside is stock. Sounds like the show car is all stock and the track car has the Mazdaspeed suspension.

that is probably the most horrendous green I have ever seen on a car.

My guess is that these cars have been beat on pretty hard and she's going to be taxed on a value more than a car like that is worth. Ebay here it comes...
