so i was killing time at the oly autoplex (looking for a boxster-lol) and there was a pretty neat velocity red rx8 at the suzuki dealer. i drove in, parked the vert (88 rx7) on the lot and walked over to the car. the salesman comes over and starts talking about how neat the car is and that it has a rotary engine, and that they are really different than boingers (not her term). duh, didnt i just park a rotary? props to her that she knew that they made less than 300 cars in the color scheme..

anyway. drove the car and it was nice and then went over to oly maz duh, who had 5 8's on the lot. the salesman there proceeds to tell me the intiricacies of the rotary while i am leaning on the vert's fender.

i thought it was odd.

if i can get them to knock $5K off the 8, i might buy it... roflmao!

In time the price will come down. I would just still rather own a GSL-SE. The look is growing on my though. I wonder when they are going to switch the body style up?

I don't know, I thought that they were in the low 20's though.

A salesman at Ron Tonkin Mazda (that place is pure crap for that and many other reasons) told me to make more power all you have to do is 'stack more rotors in'. Like they were lego pieces, you could just add more rotors to make more power.



For the most part, cars salesmen disgust me.
