Red face Sold my RX8.
Hey Guys. Well I just traded in my rx8 for a 2008 Nissan Sentra. Had the RX8 for well over 3 years and it was a great car. Traded it in because i was looking for something better with fuel prices and more room. Just wanted to say it was fun.

Good job. It's almost impossible to sleep in the 8.

Yeah, the rotor shaped inserts on the seats hurt my head, I always use my jacket as a pillow because of that.

HAHAHA. You tried it too? It's almost impossible to power-nap off an all nighter the night before in the parking lot. I lean against the door when I do though.

I go over the other side.. I rest above the rotor inset so there's not really a problem.
The seats lean WAAAY back, which makes it slightly more comfortable for that nap. It's sad that I know this.

No way! You can sleep in your 8 but you can't drive your house around (well unless you live in a trailer)

I contemplated between buying my own house or getting the car...I chose the car and delayed the house buying 2 years...I figure what good is your place if you can't get the girls there haha

there is more than that reasoning:
a rx-8 doesnt care if you take another rx-8 for a ride
you can ride in your rx-8 every day of the month (no 5-7 day exception)
rx-8 doesnt have a mother (future mother-in-law)
rx-8 cant give you an incurable STD
etc etc
