RX8, Evo X, & C350

Here are some pictures of my cars. RX8 is the weekend track car, Evo X is my daily driver & C350 is my wife's daily driver.

I love black cars.

The Evo is crazy fast, but it is not as fun to drive around a track as the RX8. The 4 wheel drive system is great, but it feels artificial & less challenging. Plus, I've been modding the RX8 since 04 while the Evo is still stock.

Thanks guys for the comments. I love the 8. There is nothing like it. I got the Evo as a lease car when I traded in a Mazdaspeed 3 last fall, so it will stay stock for a while.

The wife didn't want to drive a manual so she went with a 7 speed auto. The car actually tackles corners pretty good in sport shift mode with the stability control off. With the sport package, it came with 225 front & 255 rear conti sport summer tires.

Eh, I rather have the Evo as the daily since the MPG is way better than the 8.

All I had to do was let her pick out whatever car she wanted so she will let me get whatever cars I wanted.

MPG wise, the 8 averages 18 on the street & about 9 on the track. The Evo averages 20 & the C350 averages 25.

Sorry, can't adopt anyone now since we have a baby coming in October.

Here is my buddy's S2000 CR that he pick up on Monday.
