Ignore those pansies with their savings accounts (Rdub and Fenatic )

Get something you want. You only live once.

haha. this is only the small portion of what im getting that i decided to use as spending money. My truck is a beast on gas, yes, but i dont drive it often, and im from a small city and city mpg is garbage. I was thinking of continuing to make my current bike my project/daily driver and buy a second, more "exciting" bike for joy rides.

My truck is good for hauling, rough weather, music (awesome home built audio system), and its not a fun vehicle to drive whereas the rx8 would be garbage for hauling and bad weather, but it'd be an absolute blast to drive.

I guess the truck with some quick fixes and minor upgrades would be more practical huh?

Stay away from Mazda..parts for them cost the same as MB....research RX8 and you'll understand it's not much better than the previous generation RX7...I'm just saying if you want a sport car...go all then way like Porsche, Audi, BMW... Corvette...mustang...

Mazda will give you repair problems later on & parts from this Japanese is ad much as Mercedez Benz...

Or truck & bike is great combo....

But this is just one person (previous Mazda owner) point of view.

don't get the car, keep the truck. you can't beat being able to haul your bike if you need to. as well, you'll have less money in vehicles if you keep the truck, which is good considering the uncertainty of the future of the economy.

spend frugally. don't get the new car for the sake of buying a new car.

whats wrong with your bike now?
and this is just from expirience - you'll really only ride the bike you like the best. its too hard to ride 2 bikes the same. unless you take long trips on one, and short spirited twisty rides on the other, having 2 bikes is unpractical because even if you are just commuting, you'll still want to take the fast and nice bike out and go to work as opposed to the other bike.
