Sold the 8

So I sold my 8 on Monday and I decided to make a farewell tribute
video.

Aw, so sad

Beautiful 8, what exhaust did you have? Sounds really good.

Uh, nevermind, after rewinding too many times I saw the end with the mod details.

Well this is my bike that I sold about a year ago, so I will probally
try to get another RR, but I'm open to other bikes also. A bike is the
only thing that can fill the void for me. I look at other cars in my price range,
but none of them do it for me. So I will go for a bike and then get a car,
something that can get me around when its raining, ect.
The 8 was bought by a guy who got it for his 19 yr old son's first car.

I see you have put some mods in your car. What are your feelings on them?

I love the mods that I put on the car. I feel that it was modded very well. Wheels, springs, and exhaust are on the top of my favorite list.

I got $10.5 for it. It had 48,000 miles and all of the mods went with it.

Really, I like all of the bikes. They definitely have to be like 04 and up though, I like the newer sleek look to them versus the old fat tail, ugly fronts.

Me too...really no need to be any louder than that. The only reason that I would
have bought a midpipe, is for a performance gain.

Thanks...it's a pretty amateur video, but it is the first time I have evert tried something like that. As it was, it took me probally a lil over 2 hours to put together. With a better camera and more time, I feel like I could do better.

And I did have alot of fun with the car and miss it like crazy right now.
A girl that I work with seen the video on Facebook, and said she started laughing because she thought it was funny how I was so attached to my 8. Some ppl just don't understand do they?
