It is a good read. Should be "must reading" for anyone who doesn't understand the advantages of the rotary engine—something many here don't seem to get… ("maybe Mazda will drop the rotary and stick a V6 in there", "what's the point of a small engine if it guzzles gas?", and so on and so on…

Yes and no. I DO like that color. I did want a color that dark when I bought my car. Would I trade in my Ti for it? No. I'd take an absolute bath if I did. These cars don't hold their value nearly as well as I had hoped. Furthermore, I wouldn't trade the 8 in for another 8 unless it had some kind of marked performance increase.
Mine will most likely be paid off by this time next year though and that's when I'll buy a new car and start turning the 8 into something a bit more potent.

nice read.
I've driven up to Wine country a few times in my 8 and it's a BLAST to hit those twisties.
