I'll snap his neck.
used cargo organizer and all weather floor mats, BOTH OEM.
yours for $100!
well, that's if i end up trading in my rx-8
i can no longer be in denial that gas prices haven't impacted me. i have a daily 80-mile round-trip commute. long story short, that's over $500/month in gas 
the next car will be a toyota yaris if their numbers come out right (i thought is was odd that a toyota banner showed up on my user cp page 
) downgrading to a yaris? i know, i know. but personally, i think it's time for me to get out of the sports car scene... for now. i had a revelation a couple of weeks ago and sadly this is the first thing i need to act on.
i fell in love with the rx-8 after our first hot corner, but her drinking habit is an addiction i can no longer feed.
let me know if you're interested in the organizer/floor mat combo. of course the driver's side mat is worn where the feet rest. i've only had them since last winter. (i also work with the designer of the mats!) there's also some scuffing in one of the organizer sections from the front license plate holder i kept in there, otherwise the organizer is in good condition. i'd rather sell locally...

Sorry to hear that. If I were looking at compact cars, I'd look at a Honda Fit. Supposed to have lots of interior room and flexibility, plus it is supposed to have great handling. I remember reading where it had posted a faster slalom time than even some high end sports cars.

the fit looks a little too awkward for me. i'd rather have 2 doors instead. the '09 fit looks better IMO.
actually i went to look at this yaris in kenosha last saturday, only to find out it just got sold. so i drove by the gurnee vw on the way home just to peruse. i ended up test driving a gti and later realized i forgot something i tossed in the back seat. so i opened the passenger door and pulled on the door frame. that reminded me how much i love my 8.
the gti had this 0% promo, but i wasn't willing to have an extra year of payments. this morning i realized that i considered the cooper s when i bought my 8. i just might pay an extra year for that, since their mpg is slightly lower than a yaris. so i checked out a mini forum awhile ago and they don't seem to be as reliable as i would hope. guess it's still toyota for me.
if i come home with my 8 tonight, then it just wasn't meant to be.

My car needs another new engine. It's beyond 4 yrs old at this point by a couple of months, so it is under the 8 yr/80k mi warranty. You do not get a loaner car with this warranty. It has taken a week and a half to decide to honor the warranty. Now I have to wait at least another week till I get the car back.
This has been a pain. Fortunately, I have been able to work with my wife and son to have a way to get to work. I'm getting parts together to fix up my son's old Probe to use as a second car. I just ordered a alternator on Ebay.

i have a 97 probe i want to get rid of the only thing eng wise thats wrong with it is that it need a new master cilnder for the clutch. the body is prety beat up and the inside is gone cause i was going to go race it on weekends in sicamore. but it still has the driver, passenger and dash. you can have the car for parts for 200. 265 if you want the title cause i have to go get a new one
