Default I broke down and got it...

After a few months of looking around for a 4 door sport sedan (Subaru Impreza WRX, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and the like...) I finally found a car that fits the sporty side of what I wanted, my wife can drive it, and it surprisingly has 4 doors!! ladies and gents, I present to you the Mazda RX-8



Oh, and don't worry the was no exchanging of the Discovery.

looking good. very nice. remember to check your oil levels if you drive it frequently. I was looking at those in my current quest for a sports car but after being throughly manhandled by a 911 turbo, I return to the porsche side. Hope you enjoy your new wheels.

I am still a rotary freak....but, no longer own any. I almost had them all, from an R100 to the last FD, unfortunalely no Cosmo. Never really got in the the "8", since the demise of the "7" in the states. Funny, at the end of '96, the purchase of our first Disco, I stop the rotary relationship....no more SevenStock.

If I had that....it would have an Re-Amemiya body kit, wheels and rebuilt modified engine, and a KW suspension system....I'm crazy like that!! LOL...

I know to check my oil levels every couple hundred miles (I've been told 200 to 300, and up to 700). I really like how this car drives, its pretty much a couple departure to any of the cars I have owned (all trucks) and its a complete blast. Plan on putting some time and money into it... lets just hope the Discovery doesn't get jealous and blow a gasket....
