My New Rx-8!

Hi Everyone!

Just purchased my first car and decided on an RX-8. It was between the Nissan 350Z, the Honda S2000, and the Rx-8.

Long story short.. I obviously chose the 8 for its performance and function. I ended up falling in love with the third door.. and the feed through trunk was a necessity for a hockey player. Plus I am way too white for convertible S2000, and I thought the 350Z was underpowered.

So here are the pics! Enjoy!

Beautiful car, Chrishoky. I think you made an excellent choice. Made me think back to MY first car. You don't even want to know...

Enjoy it.

HAHA I use the feedthrough in the trunk for the sticks.. and I can even fit all of my goalie gear in the trunk. It does take some special packing techniques but it works!

I drove all three and thought the 4 350z's I drove felt very heavy... they were not nearly as nimble and I didn't think the power was any more impressive than the 8's. Thats just my opinion though of course.. I also felt they were a bit over priced... so I went with the 8.

I throw my hockey bag into the back seat and put my hockey sticks along the passenger side seat on the door side. They fit perfectly there
