Hi all,
Owning a Rotary was a dream when I was in high school. I have always admired the Rotary Engine and the 50-50 weight distribution. Much later, after I got a job and making enough to afford one, I inquired at a Mazda dealership about buying a new RX-7, only to be told they had stopped production. I bought a SUV instead to have fun in the snow (I live in Montreal)!
Now, I still own an SUV for the the winter as well as a double garage, so I realized that old dream two weeks ago and got a nice end of year deal on a new 2009 RX-8 GT. Do not have to drive it much in the winter (thanks to the truck) but I still bought winter wheels and rubber set to take her out on nice dry cold days.
Before the 8, I was driving a 4 door Civic Si. Lots of fun, but I got tired of the front wheel drive and the jerky steering under torque and traded her for the 8!
Before the Civic Si, I used to ride sportbikes at insane speeds. I am very much used to the left lane! However, in the last few years, I grew up, got kids and folks started talking on the phone while driving so my wife asked that I give up motorbikes so here I am driving sports cars. Still miss the performance on two wheels but rather enjoy the cornering grip, the safety and the sound system in the sports cars!
Taking delivery on Tuesday. Only things I added to the car are mud guards all around and iPod adapter. can't wait....
Cheers,
