Yes, I agree. At least a moment of silence for the lost 8.

Sorry about your the fire. Glad no one was hurt.

A shopping cart handle. How appropriate.

sorry to hear about your car.

Enjoy the RSX-S, it's a fun car to drive. It looks great as well, especially with a few mods. I seriously considered purchasing one a few years ago and went on many test drives.

Crazy stuff.

Seems like you went the conservative way on this. Should have pushed for more out of Mazda and yer dealer. Why did you let your insurance take over all of it? Push for new 8 and sell it. :/

its too bad you let the one odd ball rx8 (only 2 reported cases of this?) discolor your image of rx8s.

i've never had a problem with mine and i drive it like i stole it.
