Talking Picked up my velocity red!

Hi

Just wanted to share a couple of (cell)pictures of my RX8

Got it 9 days ago and have 2100km already behind the wheels :D LOVE IT!

Its a stock 06, the highpower european edition.


Gonna keep it stock through the winter, to cold to do anything fun now..

Thanks for rubbing it in. We're getting dumped on here in Utah and I haven't driven my rx8 for a couple weeks cause of the snow and salt. Congrats on the new car op.

That sucks. What part of Utah? I spent a week off roading in Moab last year, it would be crazy to see it all covered in snow.

South Ogden, just north of Salt Lake. Makes for great snowboarding though. How was offroading in Moab? I live in Utah and I've never even been there.

Didn't know that. Nice car btw. Can't you just paint over the red center thing in the back? I would just repaint it black or see if you can pick up a stock one.
