Hi, Im probably the youngest rx8 owner in this forum. I'm 16 and I got myself a GT 6 speed rx8 on saturday the 24th in Houstons terrible wet weather. I love everything about the car especially my color choice. I'de like to thank the few people in the gulf forum who told me to stick with the color I liked. Here are a few pictures in a bad neighborhood..little ones riding on bikes everywhere. I live on the Northwest part of Houston near 1960. Ive seen a few nice 8s around and mine is one of the few.









This isnt an 8, but I found it cute that my kitten was bitting a part of my printer

Man, I was broke and Skid Row when I was 16. Did'nt have a dime to my name. Torn jeans, barely making it in life.

Congratulations my friend. Enjoy and please be safe out there.

You lucky bastard. Congrats. At 16 my first car was a $300 1971 Pontiac Catalina Convertible. Trunk fell out, the top was mostly duct tape, and the brakes required 3 or 4 pumps before they even started to work. Enjoy!

Nice car.
I had no car on my own until I was about 26. And then it was a Lada (made in Russia) :D
My parents had several Trabants during the years :D

Those little ones are probably your friends that haven't gotten their RX-8's yet. :D

So what does your mom and dad drive?

fredraction

Good luck!

I got my first car when I started driving in 1979, my folks got me a 1968 Olds F85 from a neighbor for $100. And I had to share with my sister the year later.

nice car, when I was 16 I drove a porsche 911 turbo, at 18 I drove a mercedes S class, and at 19 I drove a BMW M3, now I drive a rx-8... Bought ever car with my own money.. big change? no I still have every car I ever owned. How? Just start your own business and make millions. =)

mikeb

what kind of business are you in?

BRx8

so are you a musician in college or did you start your own business? and that Prelude looks nothing like a Porche 911, an S Class, or an M3...nice 8 tho

rowteree

.... interesting that you had all those cars..nice old school prelude by the way

D MENAC 7

Yeah, I am with everyone else...my first car was a 68 Ford Fairlane, what a piece of crap that was. And it was only 5 years old....not me, the car, stupid! :D j/k

Congratulations on your RX-8, and yes, you DID pick the nicest and fastest color of them all...Velocity Red Mica. :D

...my first car was a white 1981 Cadillac Coupe DeVille, half-vinyl top, full red leather interior, wood trimmed dash, auto everything. Alas, my 80's pimping days are over...
