I don't think getting in and out of an FB is going to be much different than your other 2 choices. I think an SUV or even the Mazda CX7 crossover would be better for you. BUT it is really up to you.

Your going to a whopping 23 on the 24th of this month and you have aches and pains.LOL.

****, I'm over twice your age and even with all the car accidents,motorcycle accidents and back injuries from working construction in my younger years. None of that prevents me from driving one of my 7's when I want to.

So what if it takes me 2 hours to get out of bed.LOL.

I think you are just trying to justify buying a different car.

well idk i kinda feel like i need a change i guess u could say, yea i know not that old lol....it's not preventing me from drivin just a pain until i dropped the clutch pedal the other day since it was grabbin so freakin high, that's where most of my knee problems came from but now there pretty much gone, i def dont want 2 see it go tho since it's kinda hard to come by a stock -se for the price i got it for (which will remain undisclosed lol) but ever since i drove the rx8 i fell for it and only way 2 fund that is 2 unfourtunatly sell the -se but idk, i'll let you guy's know if/when i sell it, im def gonna think bout it for a lil while mayb a couple of months or couple of yrs idk lol

Yeah, this is why I haven't test driven an RX-8. You sit in it, you drive it, you want it, you buy it, and then what do you do with the other three cars you have.

Go to a good chiropractor (a real one with an alignment machine and x-rays and sports injuries, not some fruit bat that wants to energize your chakra or whatever). You shouldn't have aches and pains.

dont sell your fb the newer cars have a lot of computer crap going all around it, cant beat the simplicity of a FB or SA22.

I'm with doc. While I'm not quite as old, but close. I have MS, and have days where just walking is a challenge. But, there's no way I will get rid of my car, as long as I can still drive.
Some of my relatives are dumbfounded when they realize what I usually drive, cause they just don't understand how I get in and out of the FB.
