I'm sorry but...with ALL those cars....The RX-8 purchase was not accidental...!! You may have purchased the "8" over the Miata... but I assume you would have purchased the "8" eventually or your collection wouldn't have been complete...

A Viper and a GT40, some of my favorite sports cars; pure stick shift muscle with no boring paddle shifting you get on most exotics.

It's funny, I've actually met another guy that was a Ferrari nut-he had at least five of them, a Gallardo...and an 04 Lightning Yellow 8 as his daily driver. Really cool that the 8 gets the same respect as exotics sometimes.

Brettus - I am more of an “accumulator” that a collector. I don’t buy them to look at, I drive them all. Don’t really have a designated daily driver but when it rains I drive my 3/4 ton Chevy or a CL63 (official company car).

SilverEIGHT - Thanks for the heads up on the catalytic converter heat.

Razz1 - Thanks, 1969 Impala SS 427 4spd. Mostly stock with the addition of a Tremec 5 spd, cruises at 70 turning 1600 rpm. I think you could hide at least 6 maybe 7 bodies in the trunk and still have room for the spare.

Delhi - Jay is my hero! I have thought about getting a chin implant...

Fitz75 - She now drives an ‘08 Audi TT. This was the wife’s car for a few months but her C63 came in and she had no room left in her garage. The daughter took the Audi and I traded her G35 in for the RX8. Sorry I only adopt cars now, they are cheaper to maintain than children.

At his level, I think the job title would be "wealth management."

What's really cool is that it was a Lightning Yellow..
