New Here! Just got an RX8 R3
Sooo hey everyone! My Name is Tristan. Originally from NYC I moved to California 3 years ago.
I have been an avid sports car fan since my dad showed me his GT40 right before he began racing formula Atlantic cars.
For me import was always in my blood.
I have owned 2 Ford Probe GT's when i first started driving(not counting the moped years lol) and even then, mazda clutch
Then I owned a BMW 2002 325ci for 4 years and loved it into the ground. So I JUST as of FRIDAY, traded it in for an amazing RX8 R3.
Here are some pics I took today of my baby, without plates yet
/
My dad came out from NY to visit and helped kick me in the *** to give up a bit of my vice grip on the funds and get a new car. He owns a Porche Caymen and Carerra GT and Supra twin turbo turned single turbo with 650 HP it's kinda crazy, and yes he owned it before the movie. So it was my turn to get a more sporty car.
Anywho this is about me DAMMIT!! lol, so this is my FIRST BRAND NEW car and I love it to death.
I wanted black but, alas there were non in stock, so maybe a paint job down the line if I can find a good deal, I kinda hate being a red bullseye for cops.
Anywhoo, I have ranted enough. Look forward to meeting you all at a meet!
