First one off the lot

I've had mine since June 2003, Don't remember the exact date. It was the first one
Off the lot from Manchester NH. I have about 25K miles on it.

25K? I think that's a record... or at least close.
Come to think of it, my car would be at about the same mileage (or maybe even less) had I not started to work on a local project back in 2009... I was at 20K in September 2009, now I'm driving 70 miles a day, and have 52K miles. Original engine of course.

I got mine in October of 2004. But I was the 2nd owner. It had 4900 miles on it when I bought it. Had a turbo on it too!! It's got 50K miles on it now with very little trouble. I love it and still feel like a million bucks driving it. (except on the snow - then I drive the 3000GT VR4)

Purchased her Valentine's Day '04 in Hawaii, spent 4 years with her in Florida, and now 3 years in the UK. Just shy of 100k on original engine. Still smiling.

July 2003. I believe I bought the 2nd one off the dealers lot. They told me they sold the 1st one to someone from PA. They only had 3 at the time, a black, a blue and a yellow.

Ordered mine early January 2003, picked up July 17, 2003. I believe it was the second RX8 sold in Maryland.
I just went over 25K miles about two weeks ago. The car runs great and looks brand new (kept in garage at home and at work).

September 2003, 64k and still rev up to 8 k rpm from time to time.

Hey Tamas, how the heck you get 20 mpg? Mine is and has always been around 15 mpg with regular foot, 12 mpg with lead foot.

Lot of freeway driving.
All freeway, my average is 22+ mpg (I'd say, between 22.5 - 23), driving about 73-75 mph. "Regular foot"
All city, it's around 16 mpg average.

If I can do a long highway drive with no city, I have hit 25 mpg before cruising at 70, but now I live in an urban area (used to be rural) so my 22 mpg average has gone to 18-19.

25? amazing. I've tried cruising at 70, but lead foot has mind of its own and I blame it on the 8. Peace.
