BC Photos of 2005 RX8 (Colette) and model

Last year I hired a Model to stand next to the car at a local golf course. She like the car, and got carried away.
Best photos I've ever taken. There's a whole story after this..... we will just say Colette (yes the car) didn't like Amara (The model).

The car was jealous. At first she (Colette) would steam a little. When ever the topic of Amara would come up. Then on our 4th date, I went to place my hand on Amara's thigh (Keeping things interesting) Amara... loved it. Colette did not....
My car computer finally connects to the Bluetooth OBD2 unit, to see the temperature bang! 115 degrees! .... and I'm starting up a large bridge, no way off or anything to cool down. So I'm cresting the bridge so I can put the car into neutral to cool off the engine, and the engine was NOT cooling off.... which meant the coolant had already evaporated. Coasted down to a safe place and parked it, and let the car cool off as I replenished the coolant fluid down the overflow container throat, the car is barfing vomiting up water, as I'm trying to drizzle the water in.

Once she was cool enough I drove her up the next exit (another hill) and the engine climbed to about 122 degrees before I realized this is far enough. Parked it. Walked Amara home (She lived close by). But yeah the engine broke when I tried to drizzle more coolant into the overflow. It cracked somewhere.... because when I start the engine, the combustion is coming out of the overflow tank and spitting out the water.

That was the end of my beloved Colette. Well, until next month, when the new engine arrives from Japan.

That was my last date with Amara. Just.... couldn't stomach the memory. She's actually wanting to get back together next week. It's been 4 months, and she's still interested in me.
She asked me to enlarge her photos for her agent to use in promoting her.... so I got a bunch more photos of her. Oh man.... she does look good. How does a man say no to that?
