My new 40th Anniversary
New one after my 2004 died in a fire. Forgive the cell phone pics. Picked her up this morning.

I was driving normal (no choice was with wife) and the engine started fluttering. Then we smelled the smoke, then we saw the black smoke coming in from the center armrest Then from the back floorboard. Pulled over and little pieces of something was dropping from the center of the car burning. Continued smoking for about ten minutes. Amazing the whole thing did not burn. The garage I had it towed to just put new plugs, wiring, changed all fluids.
The insurance estimator along with the guy that normally worked on my car could not come any conclusion but suspect it could have been the CAT. The heat melted the emergency brake cables and wiring harness and burnt a nice big hole in the back floorboard. I always maintained my Baby and was as clean as new. Now she has gone to salvage to have her working organs harvested.
Fortunate to get a very good deal on a new 2008 Anniversary RX-8. I miss my old Baby but this one handles beautiful with the sportuned suspension and billy shocks.

The 40th Anniv. color instantly grew on me when I saw it in person; much better than in pictures.

'course it's still a close 2nd to the 2005 Shinka.

Congrats on the 40th, as it's such a cool color that seems to change throughout the day. Living here in Texas, I've told all my friends that mine has the "Longhorn Burnt Orange UT Edition Leather"....and they believed me! Most of them all think I paid way more than I actually did.
