Good bye rx8 and the great people at rx8 club
Well I would like to start off by saying thanks to everyone on here, been a big help, and especially the ppl over at BHR for their help on the good ol nitrous. But It was time to move on. I had several reasons, at first I considered getting another, more affordable sports car, then changed my mind completely, wanted a big change, and something much more convenient. I traded in my rx8, and bought myself a Nissan Xterra. No I didnt have children, or need a mall crawler, I figured if Im going to get out of the sports car game for awhile, I may as well try something different. So i got a 6 speed with the off road package, skid plates, and a rear locker. Had it for a few weeks now, and I love it, went down a few trails, nothing to complicated yet, but had her completely covered in mud at one point. defiantly a different vehicle, but thats what I wanted. I didn't want to look back on the 8 and think what a better car it was, I wanted something that was so different, they weren't comparable. So here's a few pictures, first of the 8, and then of the new wheels.
The 8 with the girlfriend.

Well, I'll still stick my head in here and there, never really been one to post a lot, pretty obvious by my count, but have read probably about 80% of what's on this site, read for nearly a year before I even became a member. Really a great forum. Thanks for the help everyone ever gave me.
The 8 with the girlfriend.

Lol the girl is still there, just didnt have any decent pictures from the beach, as they were all taken with a phone, and thanks guys. Reading some things on this site tonight, has made me miss the 8 for the first time, I still wave to anyone I see in one, and some of them seem to recognize me still. lol. Got to say though, I am loving being able to go over a speed bump without scraping, and...you know....going through 5 feet of water is also fun :D

I can't imagine trading this car for an SUV. It's a little late now I suppose, but why didn't you get a beat-up old pickup truck or something as a "support vehicle"?

Oh I plan on coming back, but probably not with the 8, possibly whatever they throw the 16x in, or even a FD, I love the rx8, but am not one to have the same car twice, but love live the triangles, lol.
