Ah, man, The RX8, just gotta love the Wankel engine sound... One of my dream cars, but cannot buy one, because I need space, so the next car I`m gonna buy has to be an STW, prolly gonna have to get some baby carriage to fit into the trunk after a year or so...Nice pics too, got a thing for old factories like that. Got another one from a distance to get more of the scenery on the frame?

I just bought some of these to be fitted into my Volvo:

Meant to go fit the boost meter today, but I`m just dead tired, can`t find any Torx drivers anywhere, and it`s raining outside so they`ll just have to wait... For those who have read the mancave violation threads, You can see some of my plants being reflected from the package...

Hey Sprock, got these?

 

Mike, I came very close to pulling the trigger on a silver '05 RX8 about a month ago. They're great looking cars and they handle very nicely, but I dunno....there's always that question of reliability and economy and practicality.

 

Its not the car you buy when you're trying to save gas and have a lot of space. Its as reliable as any other car if you know how to take care of it right. You need to love it as much as your bike if your going to buy it. But if you're questioning it now already, then you're looking at the wrong car.

Me personally, i love the sound of the rotary engine, revving to 9000rpm, suicide doors, the interior gives each person 'personal space'. Basically, i love everything about my car. Haha

 

I just got my truck about a month ago 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7 diesel with smarty chip - its pushing around 450 hp to the rear.

 

I hear ya. I was surprised by the fuel economy. I decided instead to finish building my old si hatch. Its pretty fun to drive with the b16 and I still get 30mpg. A bit cheaper to own, too.
Maybe one day.....

 

Hey:

Well I am impressed with how many still ride bikes as daily transport.
I have a semi long commute to/fm work (100 Miles a day) so I try to enjoy it as much as possible and avoid city traffic as much as I can (Impossible)

Me I ride the CBR, CBX, or VF1000R as much as I can, I take the CBX on hotter days and the CBR if any foul weather is predicted.

The VF1000R is only ridden, on occasion and will probably be sold this year to make room for something else I like. The bike is fun but no longer appeals to me like it used too.

I am thinking of putting my Franken CBR on the road and driving it to work all 350 HP of it

When I drive a 4 wheel vehicle its A Saab 900 Turbo or Silverado SS pickup depending on what I am doing. I drive My 600hp Camaro Z28 on nicer cooler days it handles great and is a real blast to drive and is faster and quicker than my CBX or CBR but gets about 1/3 of the gas miles they do. On Mazdas I used to have a RX7 and the gas hog surprised me too.
