Red face Sold the 8...

Well the RX-8 is officially gone. I picked up an Aspen White 05 STi today. It will suit my needs a little better than the 8. It was fun while it lasted. The 8 is a great car and I will miss it for sure.

Thanks for all the good times 8 club. I learned a ton about the 8 and couldn't have done it without all the knowledgeable folks here.

Now, someone buy my wheels!

Thanks man. Yeah they are hard to find here too! Especially clean ones. I drove 150 miles for this one.

Thanks! Yup, they respond to mods well. Cobb accessport and turbo back exhaust is on the list!

they do look sexy on Evo's though

I honestly didn't pay attention. The 3k spool sounds about right.

Man, all of this is starting to get down right emotional. What does all of this mean? Everyone is starting to sell their 8's, does this mean the downfall of the RX-8? Is it too old to be fun now? Sigh...

My wife has owned two subaru legacys and they were both the worst cars I have ever driven. Told her she can never buy another Subaru.
