nice

 

Happy Valentines Day bump!

Anyone want to talk me out of selling my car to buy a project car like a 3000GT VR4, BMW Z3 Coupe, or a Celica GT-Four?

 

I'll volunteer.

Project car = MONEY PIT.

 

no. because if you're actually seriously considering doing that, then u deserve the ensuing pain and money that will follow...

no sympathy over here...

 

you're crazy mike. spend some money on your 8.

 

Yeah, between Rodger, Bryan, Danny, and I, I'm pretty sure we can pick out a few mods for ya!

 

or just rebuild the car yourselves

 

OK, "project car" might be the wrong terminology. What I'm thinking is if I'm going to have problems with the car that I own (the guys at galpin know me far too well), y not have a cheaper car that'll give me more bang for buck? (All puns aside). I dread the day that my warranty runs out. I just can't justify shelling out $300, 400, 500 for mods that I won't be able to feel.
I could theoretically buy a VR-4 for $10k, have cheaper insurance, have plenty of money for mods that will give a better return than anything aftermarket for the RX-8, throw the remaining few thousand dollars I have left over into savings and then smoke RX-8s left and right.

 

1) if you "know" definitively that your 8 is a lemon, then YES- it's time to ditch it, because you obviously don't want to keep a car that's going to break down and keep costing you like a money pit...

2) if another part of your agenda is to "smoke" the rx-8 then YES- it's also time to ditch it, because you obviously don't love the car anymore... <shrugs> at least let those of us who still love it enjoy our rides.

 

uh Mike, Mitsubishi's reputation isn't exactly stellar either....

 

^ Rodger, what you talking about, mitsubishi is godlike compared to Mazda, we were all dumb to buy this car

 

^^^ you realize Mitsu isn't expected to be around much longer due to poor sales.

 

^ you realize rotary isn't ever around much ever since the 70s-90s?

 

lol, I'm just havingfun, no offense to you Jedi

 

hey tajabaho1 you realize christmas is over

 

then you've been ill informed... rotaries are used in helicopters too.

 

and the major companies didn't want to throw their RnD department to something unknown. Not many companies have thrown money to research into the Wankel rotary as much as Mazda has.

 

Taj: someone killed your bunny this week. I saw pics...

 

that made my day loren...

 

yea, thats a completely different kinda of rotary... not a wankel rotary

 

yi ti teee!!

 

its always christmas for me besides I'm too lazy to change my avatar, I'll change it when......er.........

 

hey taj, did you park on the 5th floor yesterday?

 

did danny sell his car?

 

Unless he sold it yesterday, the answer to that is NO. I saw Danny (and his car) on Sunday.
