Yea so im going to buy an Rx8

Whizbang · 07-08-2009, 08:21 PM

Dont really have a daily car at the moment and i think since 2006 models are getting into my price range, i might as well go for it. Fair amount in the local area of Biloxi so i think the end of the month i am going to track something down. Woo

Woo! Mine is my DD, makes my commute less boring.

I am actually working on a deal right now to trade the 3 for an 8.

Everybody is doing it.

I love my 8.. it's been in the shop a couple times, but it's comfortable and fun to drive...

Also, they're starting to experiment with big ports now. There are a couple bridge ported 8's out there now, and from the look of it the overlap is still pretty minimal... so it'll be a big port but more reliable... I'm considering it.

If they would just get 22-25mpg I'd have one.

I average 24.2 on the highway.... about 19-20 on my commute (mix of both city/hwy) and 18 through the mountains..... I dont think its too bad on gas compared to the performance you get....

Most of my commute is highway-ish roads (55-65 mph) so I luck out and tend to get about 23 or so.

Best I've gotten is about 23 going 70 on cruise.

My normal heavy foot'd daily commute, I get 14-17MPG per tank. I have to say, since the weather warmed up, no engine light and been loving the drive back and forth to/from work! Now I need new tires

hrmm...might have to wait a few more months on the 8. Going to find an FC or FB for a temp use it seems. Going to wait and see if i stay in the states for my active duty station once i grad tech school for starters and my credit needs a boost! (unemployed for a few months til i got here killed me it seems)
