I always liked the RSX after sold my Integra. How would you compare the RSX to the RX8?

i had an MR2 then inherited a 2000 honda accord the best move i ever made was the RX8 and it was the people on the this site that helped me come to the deciscion to get it. I only have it a few weeks and i love it. The accord was automatic and i always felt it took the fun out of driving. I spend so much time driving now just for fun and when you turn the traction control off and hit some winding country roads it's unreal. Do it,you wont regret it

Its a '98 Peugeot 206, dont know if you have them in the US ?
1.6 beast lol, new headlights tinted rear light, stainless exhaust and remapped
was my first car (im only 19 now) and was pretty awesome for my first I thought.

time came to sell it when i parallel parked it in london and the car behind me was at the end of the parking bay so all he had to do was reverse away, but the fucktard in his rav4 somehow managed to **** up my bootlid causing £300 damage. suprisingly he didnt stick around or leave a note for me when i came back. dick

on the flipside tho i now have an '8

funny all the 8's I saw in Normandie and Bretagne last summer were from the UK. They seem to like them more in the UK than elsewhere in Europe.
The 206 is a pretty nice car though (not that it really compares to the 8 in my opinion though:P )

I have a 1998 Ford escort 4 door (no rice!) in that ubiquitous pacific green colour that most of those cars come in. It was my daily driver, but is now my winter car. Quite an upgrade to my 8, lol.

G35 sedan... now I have a G35 coupe... needed 4 doors and auto because of kids and wife needing to drive, but then came another kid, a minivan and a 6MT G35 coupe. The sedan was ugly, but I loved the way it drove.

I almost bought a RX8, but the engine scared me away

Some people are able to figure out what I used to drive by looking at my user name.

^ Yes, but now you have Bathsheba

Sorry I didn't get to meet ya before I left. Would have liked to have met you and your wife (With her sexy new 8!!) and see what you did to 'sheba.

If you ever wanna know where she came from before me, lemme know.
