Picked up my RX 8
 

Just picked up my 2004 Nordic Green/Black Leather GT 6 speed w/9600 miles in New Jersey last week and drove it home to eastern Washington state. Love the car (Former 1994 RX7 owner until 1 month ago, engine fire, totalled), it drove great. We averaged 20.2 for the 3032 miles and drove around 80 most of the way. When I first started this forum, several asked about the difference between the 7 and the 8 and overall I think I like the 8 a little better. Less hard core, more user friendly, deffinitely more comfortable, not as fast but a fun great car. Got it home and did a clean up with Zymol (first time iv'e used it) and was very impressed with the way it came out, no swirls and some light surface scratches gone. Was on the 7 forum for years and really appreiciate all of the info. Getting ready to install the clear corners and the thread for that is great. thanks to all.

wow... you went far to get your car. lol congrats

Welcome! I admired the RX7 back in the day but I was just a poor college student at the time and couldn't afford one. You're lucky to have driven both. If I would of known more about the rotary like I do now (thanks to this great forum), I would of robbed my own mother to buy one.

It was sad to lose the 7, it only had 49,000, we had it for 6 years and the insurance paid us a 1,000 more than we paid for it in 2000. it would push 150mph (so I'm told).

I'm sure you were a speed limit guy all the way. :cwm27:

Welcome to the 8. Enjoy responsible.

3000+ miles??? Thats a long ass drive, I don't even want to know how much you spent on gas. You must have gotten a great deal in jersey. Anyways, congrtas and have fun modding.
