Look at whats been sitting in the garage for 2+ years...

....my '04 RX8 ! Ive had it sitting in my parents garage for over 2 years now... im in the military, and wasnt able to bring a vehicle the when i did my year long tour in Korea. and i wasnt willing to pay $450 a month insurance bring it over here to Italy ! (where im currently stationed at.) its got one more year of sitting before i will finally reunite with it. i love the car, thats why i havent sold it... simple as that. very low miles, '04 with 17,000 miles... i see it as a present for myself waiting at the end of the tunnel

my dad went home recently and pulled it out the garage... took some new pics... i miss it mannnn

Man look at the rust on the rotors! Tell him to drive that bad boy! I hope he starts it and warms it up every now and then.

Hey thanks for the props... I'm originally from west sacramento

It is lowered on Tein S-Techs, its just the angle of the driveway that has it leaning back.

I used to be against chrome myself, but I took a chance on the chrome with the sparkly velocity red paint job and I think it turned out aright. They're 19" ADR Spartans staggered fitment
