And I am still not bored with it. I still take pictures of it occasionally and I smile at the stares I still get from people walking in the streets. I haven't put many miles on her - only 23k on the odometer, but it's been pretty reliable. Only thing really wrong with it is that I snapped the parking cable a few weeks ago. I don't really miss it. I should have known better than to mess with it in cold weather.

Anyone long-term owners still in love with their car? I still smile when I have the revs up high.

I can't believe I almost sold it a few weeks ago. I would have had super regrets. Here's a pic of her just this morning at work. Dirty as sh*t, but still looking fantastic after all these years.

 

She's a beauty!

 

I've owned mine for 8 years next month. Sad that I'm going through the whole divorce thing and I gotta sell it.

 

Congrats! I'll be coming up on a year with mine next month. I hope I have mine for as long as you!

 

Well, got mine new end of 2006. It's pretty crazy. 60k miles and haven't had any big issues.

 

That was my initial reasoning for selling my 8 also. Except it was a normal breakup with someone who didn't really give a **** about me.

I had planned to replace it with a CLA45 or IS350 F-Sport, but I realized recently, cars don't really help you pick up women...lol.

They can hurt a relationship though - the ex hated my car, it made her physically ill (gear changes and stiff suspension) and it wasn't practical at all.

Whatever - lol. I'll just have to find someone who can appreciate a completely impractical car.

 

Me, too! 5-years on March 16th. Yes, I still love my RX-8. Can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can drive it again.

 

Those type of women, you do not want. Let the car drain your account not the combination of the 2.

 

Only been a year with my car, but 55,000 miles now and almost 30,000 rev happy miles because the first owner babied it too much. I would never let a girl become the sole reason to sell my car, Lol.

I got my '08 Grand Touring Edition last spring.. I smile every time I walk away from her in the parking lot where I work. Everyone tells me how gorgeous she is. What a fun car!
And only 36K on the meter! Waitin' for the snow & ice to leave!

PICs here

 

I got my new 08 sport (basic), I think in June. I tested three, the other two were touring and the sport just felt faster. I didn't really want the traction control. The sunroof in the touring versions was pretty close to the top of my head (tall).

I now have about 32K on it and it still runs like stink. I have premixed since it had about 600 miles on it. I just replace the original tires end of last year. They were getting pretty squirrelly.

Here is a pic of it shortly after I got it and it still looks pristine. The tall grass is now gone and a driveway to the garage I had built took it's place.

 

Not getting married again. My GF likes the looks of my car better than her newer Audi TT. She is a car fan and used to drive a muscle car.

I have had people tell me the RX8 is a girls car instead of something that guys like so I ask them if they would rather attract men or women?
