I heard the RX8 is like the hardest car to flip, and yet I've seen multiple on their sides since joining the forum. Then again, none were on the roof, so maybe it is hard to flip them... all the way over.

Glad your okay. Good luck with the insurance monsters.

no your right. I didnt notice it before. Looks like he had the upholstery redone.. the cloth seats do wear down fast and look awful after a few years..

yeah i was gonna call and ask them if it was a seat cover or was the entire seat redone, and cloth seems to hold up better than the leather, like the seats in mine looked brand new, it depends on how much care a person puts in the car

the car was clean but of course i know the person before me probably ran it hard but oh well........the guy traded it in for a camaro ss and his dad brought a z06, they didn't even have a chance to put the balt on the lot

but it was crazy the moment i said in my head i was not gonna get another 8 i started to see them pop up like flies, they even had one as a trade on their lot but it was an automatic so that made me feel better i wasn't tempted at all
