I will have to have a "Winter Beater" if I get the RX-8. Here in PA the salt disolves your car body like tissue paper and the gravel makes the paint look like you got hosed by a pixie with a machine gun.

I know what you mean - I also live in PA and that's the only thing that's holding me back. But what the hell I should just buy a pickup truck! NOT!
:D

it will be my daily driver. my wife has her ford ranger to use. if it holds out for a couple of more years we'll trade it for something newer for her and for our trips up to the mountains for skiing. we don't get any snow to speak of around portland in the winter just rain. and they don't use salt here.

It'll be my daily driver for the summer and into fall. At some point I'll need a cargo carrier, and will be looking at picking up something like a protege5 or tribute or element for the runabout, and to head up to the slopes in the winter.
But for a while I'll have my rx-8 and wife will have her miata..

Actually will be our 3rd car for a bit, until we sell the 240. Will be my daily driver - wife drives a Sante Fe. I just found the perfect child seats online, too...
Edit: Added the following image
Obviously I ordered black/red interior:D

RX-8 will be my weekend car. I have a 99 Miata as my daily driver. Need bigger car to take out the family and friends on the weekend.

Not enough options
This will be neither my only car, nor my second car - it will be my primary car.
It will be my daily driver and weekend toy, sharing the garage with the wife's '02 Miata. (I sold my '99 Miata last week to make room for the RX-8.) My secondary vehicle will continue to be the '92 Explorer that we use to cart the dogs and bikes around when we want to get out of town for a few days.

My only car, I just want to keep the milage around 1000 to 1500 a month, no more. Sucks that it'll still have around 60-90k miles on it by the time it's paid for 
. Oh well, hopefully it'll still be running strong and looking good, so I can keep it around without a car payment and hopefully finally have money to spend on things like...I dunno, a mortgage and stuff. I hate paying $500 a month for insurance , I must be the poorest "rich" (salary wise) guy I know.

I heard there is a type of insurance where you only pay for the miles you drive. They would put a gps tracking on your car to determine how many miles you've driven. Thats what I'm planning to get for my futur geexer. And both my future rx-8 and geexer will be garaged(dreamin all day and night)
