Sold my Shinka :(
Well, I didn't post too much in this forum, and I likely won't be anymore.
After 2 fine years of the most fun car I have ever driven, (2006 Copper Red MT Shinka) it was time to move on. Never caused me any problems, all I had to do was change the oil (so that's likely why I never posted much ...)
The only consolation is that I now have a 2011 Flex Titanium AWD with the EcoBoost engine. 355 horses - goes like snot, and rides like a dream. Carries the family well, and lots of room for our stuff. So along with the sadness, there is that excitement that comes with a new vehicle.
Enjoy your 8's ! Hit the redline once a day for me !
Cheers,
Mike

But when you look at this, you may have some sympathy for me ?
I know the Flex is a love/hate thing, but this isn't so bad.

Ibwould be sad too if I had to get rid of my car to get an suv. The only way to go for me is either m3 e90/92 or 911 997. I do not have prospects for a family anytime soon so they should work just fine.

I hear ya. I just sold my garage queen (cts-v) didn't think I would ever sell it, but decided to build a house, so it is what it is. Good luck man.

Amazing, since I had sold my rx8 I've been through two C6 corvettes and I now have a CTS V. I've missed the 8 since I sold it. The one good thing is that when the need for the Flex is over you can still get another rx8. Hey does anybody want to trade their R3 for my V??
