Red face Sold the 8...
Well the RX-8 is officially gone. I picked up an Aspen White 05 STi today. It will suit my needs a little better than the 8. It was fun while it lasted. The 8 is a great car and I will miss it for sure.

Thanks for all the good times 8 club. I learned a ton about the 8 and couldn't have done it without all the knowledgeable folks here.

Now, someone buy my wheels!

Thanks! Yup, they respond to mods well. Cobb accessport and turbo back exhaust is on the list!

I honestly didn't pay attention. The 3k spool sounds about right.

Man, all of this is starting to get down right emotional. What does all of this mean? Everyone is starting to sell their 8's, does this mean the downfall of the RX-8? Is it too old to be fun now? Sigh...

sigh, another Sti on the road.... so sick of hearing,seeing,whatever about these cars..

Though I have a hatred towards Subaru.
My wife has owned two subaru legacys and they were both the worst cars I have ever driven. Told her she can never buy another Subaru.
