Didnt sell my RX-8!

Bacause I still love it.

Recall? Pfft, all newly designed cars can have issues.

MPG? I researched and new what I was buying beforehand

Lack of power? thats what AFSC is for

Rattles, quirks, other things. it's a machine, they do that from time to time.


Bottom line is, I am still every bit in love with this car as I was the first day I saw her. So until we run out of gas, i'll be driving my 8!


Who's with me?

thank you!!! I'm getting sick of all these damn "for sale" threads and it's nice to know I'm not the only one that feels this way about my RX-8.

Whats wrong is most of them are from people who insist on telling you why they are selling, which consists mostly of whining:

For Sale-2004 RX8
Bad gas mileage, too many recalls to list, brakes have squeaked since new

I'm with you, especially about the research part. For the most part, the Standard List of Whines consists of things that the owner could have and should have known about before buying the car.

You are preaching to the Amen choir!

- Question for the Klingon expert - if you take away a Klingon's will to die, can you train him to wash dishes?

this car is the underdog of the sportscar world right now...it's not going to win drag races (yet) and the gas mileage is mediocre...but let's face it. it's STILL bad-assed and no other car that I've ever driven feels like this! I'm with ya, man...it has some problems, but what car doesn't? I said it somewhere else, but in my opinion, the car...is a work of art. at a good price too! :D

Right on! I didn't sell mine either. I'm glad there are a few more in the same situation. I was beginning to think I would have to carry on conversations with myself on 8 club . . .

I don't even know what that means. Since when do Klingons have a will to die? I rather think they have a greater will to make YOU die. So I reallly don't understand the question, and will simply answer:

Depends on your religous affiliation. But you know what they say: "what happens in a closed garage, stays in a closed garage."
