Haha unlike me, where I check the oil like every 3 days. Doesn't help that my oil filter was loose too. Found that out when I did an oil change. But still i'm paranoid. I spent a decent chunk of change on this car to destroy it by not having oil in it.

Manuals are certainly the better choice with the 8's engine.

It's not the car its the driver.

Welcome to the club. I went from an 93 honda accord to the 8. Take good care of your 8.

NO...short shifter, then a drop...even though my cousins 8 has neither, i still cant drive his car without the short shifter...ride height is something i can live without on the 8..

Congrats and welcome. I came from an '05 Civic LX before my 8. The only thing I miss about the Civic is the gas mileage, but the other awesome aspects of the 8 more than make up for it in my book. Enjoy!!

P.S.

Velocity Red FTW!!

Ill agree with you on that, but equal driver on both cars stock, the 8 wins.

I get irritated with our cars being campared to cars like a civic and scion Tc; I know our cars arent fast but C'MON!
