Even RX-8 owners have to get to the dump sometime... I have a perfectly good trailer sitting under cover outside that I have not been able to use for just over a year thanks to a serious oversight by Mazda...

All that is needed is a DSC interface to the trailer wheels and some really good driving would be the order of the day...

It's been a nice ride. Thanks...
Yeah, congrats.

My 3K passed without notice. Probably because I cannot claim a similar percentage of worthy posts.

With 4 posts in a row I dont doubt that you are aiming at beating Gomes to 5k!!!

On that that exhaust tip. I reckon it would be fun to see if you could get enough exhaust preassure to shoot the thing off...

I'm too lazy to multiple quote. Sue me.

Actually, I'm not into the whole 'beat other people's post count' thing. Mine is just a by-product of not knowing when to shut up.

Precisely what makes me like it.

Reminds me of those toys where you pull the ripcord and it spins up into the air. You only ever own them for a day before you overcook it and it lands somewhere you can't get to. Max has had about 3 - all lost.

There is a thing install to the outside surface of the wheel and while it is spinning a computer program is used to do a lot of design, word or picutres, in neon style...

Very rice but smart design. I am struggling to find it but I saw the link in the US side of the site.

Hey, 'mez...congratulations on the 4k, but I have to say your recent posts have become somewhat disturbing....although not as disturbing as anyone who buys a tow bar for their 8

You could buy an old V8 Fairlane with a towbar for the price of that Donkey Dick jobbie.....!

The car look like a Ferrari... Very supercarish...

If you look at the front of the Enzo or a Zonda... they all look like this.

Actually, it's pretty weird that someone would go to all that trouble but not change the rims.

Otherwise, I think it's freakin' ugly and the 'I just need to be different, okay' owner should be hung up by his thumbs.

Nothing like understated class in your motor vehicle tastes.
