Traded my rx8...

For another rx8
My previous was automatic and started having some transmission issues. I traded for this one last week and love it! Has the original warranty for a couple more months, plus I bought an extended warranty. I called the warranty company myself & made sure they covered this engine. They promised me that they did.
I think I might email them, too, just to have it in writing. This still has the original engine. Kinda sucks because I just spent over $1k on tires in Sept, and then had a $400 tune up done in Feb. But, I didn't have any kind of coverage on the transmission, and 1st gear felt like 2nd gear, and it sucked a little bit because it was automatic. I never took it to a shop or anything for the transmission, I think I was maybe wanting an excuse to get a manual anyway. 2005 w/ 41k miles, previous was 2005 w/ 67k miles when I traded it.
Plus white is sooo much prettier! Wish I had a decent camera, these are iphone pics.

Congrats! Love white cars too, I feel like it shows the cars body lines best. Also glad to hear you picked up a manual.

Yes, very nice.
I continue to be impressed by what I feel is the classic style of this car.
Stick is way more fun too!
Congrats.
