WA Proud new owner!

Greetings, my name is Kurtis, I live in the Tri-Cities, WA. I have been lurking on the site for a few weeks now reading up on these cars and getting all the information I could. After a few years of looking at cars, I finally took the dive and decided on an RX8.

I went from driving a 1993 Camry the past 3 years that now has 293k on the clock! Great car, still running strong, but I've been wanting something newer, nicer, and a bit more sporty.

I am now the proud new (second owner) of a 2005 Shinka! I drove down to Portland, OR Sunday morning (March 6th) and drove home a few hours later. I have got to say, this is everything I wanted in a car and more! While the car isn't perfect (few dints here and there), what 6 year old car is? It was taken care of by two Mech. Engineering people who knew how to properly take care of the car, that is what sold me. That, and the car has under 34k on it, with brand new tires! I am in love with this car and couldn't be happier!

I don't have any pictures (yet) but I hope to get some good shots when it's sunny out, maybe by this weekend the weather will get better.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks everyone! So I have had the car a week now, and am still loving it! Need to go fill her up for the third time this week, but hey, I am having one hell of a good time driving these days!

Welcome,

Sounds like you found a winner. There are some data collections that might make life easier in my sig. The $100 is stuff I learned over the first year with an 04.

Thanks for the link Green, once I get some spare time (and get my project car rolling again) I will defiantly start on some of those upgrades!
