Runin with a RX-8

Today as i was going to pick up applications i saw a silver RX-8. At first i didnt realise what it was until i saw the spot where the back doors opened. At that instant i turned around to go talk to him. Appraoched him and began a convo and we popped out hoods and it was funny how he drooled over my car, and i drooled over his car. I still love my car, but those RX-8s look badass. I think the guy was a collector because he knew quite a bit about sevens. He was in Mid michigan, maybe its one of you... lol. Well just had to tell my story of how even people who buy new cars still love the FB.

Interestingly enough, a couple of weeks ago I decided to stop in at the closest Mazda dealership here in Hooterville (Nashville) just to take a face-to-face look at the RX8. Obviously a slow day, about 4 or 5 salesmen came outside to check out my FB. It makes you feel good when that many Mazda salesman swarm you for your car instead of your money for a change.

Same thing happened to me, I pulled up in my RX-7 and I had a guy come up asking about my car and I was talking to him about the RX-8 and he's like, pffft, you probably already know more about this thing than I do, no point in me talking to you about it. heh

Rx8's are sweet.......but I would spend the 30k on my FB and it would have a little more than 260hp.
