Okay guys I've gone to the darkside... I bought a Rx-8 R3
I just bought a Brilliant Black 2009 Rx-8 R3 from Hayward Mazda to add to my stable of cars...
The car only has 10 original miles on it... because I test drove it for 5 miles... lolz I fell in love with this car. I really like the newly updated design and limited edition seats and suspension. The car is really refined now since it first came out in '04 some people may disagree though but I think I've made a good decision with the car. It's a little more practical for my day to day lifestyle than the rx-7 is, but that's why I have the 7 also, for track days and car shows.
I bought the car for a daily driver because the 7 needs a rest for now...
I've been putting a lot of miles on her and since I just got her painted I plan on trying to keep her pristine and that includes working on and restoring the interior.
Let me know what you guys think.
Here is a picture of a R3 in Blue from the Mazda Website.

A close friend of mine has the other Brilliant Black R3, I believe there were only 4 available in California as of now (2 black, 1 red, 1 blue), and boy is that thing a blast. The seats fit you like a glove, you don't move at all! And plus, if you saw the rims in person... you'd definitely want to bring a towel with you.

Great choice.
I love my 8. Although I want another 7 for its purity, the 8 is a great family car that is still fun on tracks and twisties.
BTW - I got a set of WORKS that would fit if you are lookin for wheels.

How do they sell these to fat people if they can't fit in the bucket seat? I hope this model is a lot more sporty since it looks that way. Make automatic rare plz. Keep the bad women drivers away!

:jealous: I miss my 8 and almost bought one of these. I'm happy with the new STi, but...the wife "needs" a new car hehehehehe. Enjoy her; many will hate- few will "know".
