Well as most of you guys know, I was forced to sell my rx-8 to pay off some college funds. Well my dad decided that was a very reasonable choice to make because I no longer am looking to them for money. So he decided to give me his toy that he had sitting around at home! So here is my new car.

 

lucky...but this doesnt look like an rx8

 

your dad is Awesome

 

It's definitely not an rx8. I miss my car

I understand the z has a lot more torque and power, but thats not everything. I can't even take my favorite twisty turn at 75 mph anymore

 

Congrats, enjoy it! or at least try haha

 

lol i know what you mean i had a z and would never go back but on the plus a free car that isnt a beater thats pretty dam cool

 

OR you could sell it, pick up another 8, have left over money, and start modding the 8

 

Bro i LOVE the Z. With proper modding and tuning it can be on par with many cars including the 8. But you will never get as many stairs lol. But hey its seems you guys have some money. Those are some nice cars in your garge.

 

stares

 

Sell 350z, buy RX8. Simple as that.

 

Nice! Enjoy the newfound torque! lol

 

not bad at all. its no 8, but definitly a great concilation prize. There is so much hate towards Zs from us 8 drivers but they really are a top notch car for the price range. Just wait until you can afford to get another 8, then burn the tires off it and give the keys back to your dad. haha.

 

Not a bad deal at all.

 

that's awesome man!!

 

Correct me if im wrong but is it not Rude to sell a car your parents give you? I mean just seems somewhat rude to me. "Hey Dad thanks for the car im gonna go sell it and buy another 8"

 

why drive around something you wouldnt enjoy as much? seems fine with me, and i know my parents wouldnt mind, my dad gave me a 240sx, he said he didnt mind if i sold it to get another car

 

At least it's an HR...you feel teh torque mang???

 

wow, thats a sweet gift. looks nice and clean, but not an rx8. jk man. niiice!

 

Nice not bad of a trade.

 

i bet he does, no need for a turbo in 3 gear....

 

hahahah!

 

 

Dude, you wanted the Z. Admit it....cmonnnn admit it ...

Story doesnt mesh. Well-off (obvious from pics) Dad knows kid has and loves his 8 so so much...kid "reluctantly" sells the beloved 8 to pay off college funds (how novel)...As a reward for such a selfless act, Dad gives son a car worth MORE than the crappy resale price of the 8 (though u would rather have the 8)?? Dad is smarter than that. If Dad knew how much u loved the 8 and the sacrifice u were about to make, he would have stopped u, sold the Z, got more than what u would have with the shitty resale value of the 8, and gone ahead and taken care of those "school funds" for you w/ the $. All the while letting you hold on to the beloved 8 you were so attached to and likely having a lil $ left over.

Dont be afraid to tell the 8 fanbois u wanted the Z! LOL. Its a cool car, enjoy!!
