Goodbye boxer, hello wankel???

Today was bitter sweet as I said goodbye to my 03 WRX and hello to an 08 RX-8

I had a good 3 year run in the bugeye, but it was time for some rear wheel drive goodness. WTF you say? Why not a Z or an S2K or a million other used FR platforms? Well, I gave it a lot of thought and decided I wanted to go with a new car. The price of the RX-8 drew me in and the drive sealed the deal. I pick up my new Crystal White Pearl RX-8 sport model tomorrow. Pics to come shortly. No mods planned for now, but you never know.

... I'm still gonna be on this forum and go to meets here every now and then because you just can't beet the Suby community.

It was time for something a little different. Couldn't resist 50/50 weight distribution, RWD, and a 9500RPM redline
