We have our 2nd,3rd for real RX-8 in less than 4 weeks. Bought our first one in AZ live in CA and could not register it but put 1500 miles on it. 2nd one the Dealer could not get me the one I bought so he found another one with a few more options and gave me a great price break for his mistake. We have a Blue one with touring package, appreance and a wing. Great for us.
Question for us is does anybody know of a good driving school I have already gotten myself in over my head a few times and been lucky to come out unscathed. So Im looking for a drivinfg school in So Cal, don't want to put any dents in it ya know. The one they in Virgina sound good but too far away as big as Ca is on hot cars I can't belive there is not a good school for us newbie's.

 

this is where i started (nearly 10 years ago now!)

just went to laguna seca in the 8 this week- if you are getting in trouble with this car you really need help. it is extremely well behaved on the track compared to any of my other cars.

One coming up in San Diego at Qualcomm and one in LA at California Speedway.

good point. actually, any autocross would be a valuable learning experience. i dont trust a new car until ive autocrossed it and have some trust in what it does in extremis.
