Took the plunge yesterday guys. All I can say is WOW! This thing is FAST! I fell in love with the second I drove it. I thought I was getting a TR WRX, but it turns out I got the upscale version with all the goodies. 6 disk CD changer, spoiler, side skirts, rear view with auto dim and home-link, performance front seats, auto climate control, fog lights and an spt muffler. All for $24,600. It was about $300 under invoice, so it's friggn' awesome. I'll post some pics in the general auto thread for you guys. I miss my 8, but damn this thing ROCKS! ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
BTW, I'll take that name change now.

Yeah, because I'm sure he was planning on turning his new car into a WRC car

I had a 2002 WRX wagon, I loved it at first, but lost the love over the following months of rattles, tranny issues and uncomfortable seats. I now drive an 05 RX-8 GT, though not quite as fast as my WRX I think it's a more enjoyable owner experiance... and the 8 is Gorgeous!

You'll find my 8 at Austin Subaru. Still has everything I added, like wheels and other goodies. Hope who ever gets her will take care of her like I did.
