What's the Current Reading on Your Odometer?
I got my 8 a little over 7 weeks ago with 8,500 miles on the clock. Now it's got 10,300 miles.

At this rate, I'm gonna put about 13.5K miles on the car every year, which is about twice the number of mileage I used to put on my '97 Eclipse GS-T.

I'm loving it every single mile, though!

I saw a striking similarity to that thread too. Looks like this thread wins tonight.

Maybe tomorrow.

I'm the 2nd owner, just got it recently. No major issues on record, but the engine is a little hesitant to start and seems down on power, with a pronounced 6krpm weak spot. I'm thinking fuel system or weak coils on that, but I've not bothered to check into it yet until I get the midpipe on.

I cured the hot weak restart with 8oz per tank premix.

Sounds like a possible recall candidate.

Bought my 07 RX8 in April. Have 3100 miles on it but would probably be at 5000 miles already if I wouldn't take my CBR954rr to work once or twice a week.

Got the car in Apr 07. Only reached 1000km over this weekend. <sigh> I so need to drive more. But my commute doesn't require me to drive.

That's no problem. Always take the longer route wherever you go...
