So i still have the 06 3, the verts ready to go back on the road within this next week and im picking up a cruiser bike after christmas.. however found a silver rx8 in pretty good shape and cheap.. No way in hell do i actualy need it, but it could be nice to trade back and forth between the 3 and it to save it some miles here and there. As it is i need an oil change every month now. Only real problem i could see will be my ins with that many vehicles.. thoughts?

phinsup 12-14-2008 01:45 PM

they are such a good investment i can't see how you could ever have too many.......

Seppuku 12-14-2008 01:48 PM

yes exactly like buying houses right now..

yea something like that.

Rob x-7 12-14-2008 02:36 PM

you dont need a 8- they are cheap for a reason.

phinsup 12-14-2008 04:24 PM

yea i wonder how long they will continue to make them.

defprun 12-14-2008 04:29 PM

Until the next Rx-7 comes out...

phinsup 12-14-2008 04:46 PM

unfortunately I think the consumer mind set that put the 3rd gen into the archives has come back around.

Rob x-7 12-14-2008 06:14 PM

if you needed a totally different purpose vehicle that would be one thing, or if you needed a winter vehicle- but neither is the case here.

I had 8 cars before my divorce, down to 3 now. I'm a firm believer in having one for every day of the week. Special use insurance keeps it cheap.

Seppuku 12-14-2008 07:18 PM

whats this special use ins? sounds promising..

94touring 12-15-2008 12:02 AM

I know that state farm allows special use. Which basically occurs when you say i'm only goin to drive the car X amount of miles per year, only for pleasure or shows, store it in a garage, and not my primary car for daily use. I had my FD on special use and cut the insurance in half.

People STILL dont like blown turbos and vaccuum lines?! WTF!!! If they can put it in the same market as the EVO X somehow they should be golden.

I was referring to the concept of a "sports car" that requires constant attention drinks gas like i drink water and only has two seats.

What they have to build is a 4wd Mazda3 with rotary motor that makes 400hp and gets 30mpg.

I'm so angry we can't have that. How much to get the drivetrain shipped? My 5 is slow.

The Rx8 sold better too! You actually see way more of them around...

j9fd3s 12-16-2008 11:28 AM

to answer the question, more than 3 is bad

Any more than 3 and you need a long outrageous chin like Jay Leno to accomodate them all.

Seppuku 12-17-2008 08:03 AM

jay leno chin was enough to make me want no more than 3... motorcycles dont count in that right?

1988RedT2 12-17-2008 08:23 AM

My wife and I currently own six vehicles, but one is going away soon.

This is true! So it's like each of us having only 3 cars, which is just about right.

If you own a motorcycle you are not a person and therefore you are allowed more than 3.

G2G 12-21-2008 12:47 PM

Truck, rx7, motorcycle. That is the ideal combo for everyone. The truck can be used for hauling/daily driving. The bike for daily driving when not raining and for fun. And the 7 to take up garage space. That's how I have it right now. Damn car hasn't moved in five years.

phinsup 12-21-2008 06:11 PM

the correct answer is ZERO, get a mountain bike you lazy fuckers.

mazdaspeed7 12-21-2008 06:14 PM

Wait, the question is "How many cars is too many?" How can zero be too many? You mean one?

I didn't say it was cool or popular, i merely said it was economical and good for you health. Neither of those two things get you laid.

defprun 12-23-2008 03:23 PM

Health does get you laid, I mean, the guns get the bitches.
