Two Weeks Away From Becoming A Proud RX8 Owner...

That's right folks. I'm two weeks away from getting an RX8.

The following is it's specs:

2005 Mazda RX-8 Touring
Titanium Grey
MazdaSpeed Exhaust
20,700 miles on the car

I'll upload pics as soon as I can!

I'm curious about the 8 though. How do I not drive it hard? I'm sure it's not wise to redline the car every single time I go out. The neighbours won't be too happy about the loud boom that the exhaust creates either. So how should I "be gentle" to it?

Go to someone else's neighborhood.
Enjoy the car, it is fun *****.

YUP. Not joking either, dont baby the thing. Drive it hard and it will thank you, trust me you dont want the carbon built up. I think the 8 is the only car that will truly have no problems and love you for bringing it high up. Do not baby this car. It's meant to rev high. It gets mad at you if you dont bring it up once in a while, like you're holding the car back
