Test drove rx-8!
 

It will definitely be my next car. Hope to purchase in the next 3-4 months. I am going to take my time and get the right car for me. I was grinning ear to ear after the salesman took me on a nice course and let me do what I wanted. I hit a deep banked curve going at a nice clip and it was a pleasure to feel confident through the entire turn. The high rpm engine, steering feel, and rwd... whats not to like? Can't wait to get mine.

Cool story bro. Anyway, update us when you get it, good luck.

There's no other car with such great balance, fit/finish, fun factor, and maturity (i.e. fits two car seats in the back). Actually there are, but they cost $50K, and their engines don't feel like they run on silk. Love it!
