maybe next time we'll have to bring the gtech, perhaps it's the linear power band tricking us into thinking it's slow.

When you test drive a veichle do you go by yourself or does a guy come with you?They got three RX8s up at the corner dealer lot I should see if I can take one for a spin.I was talking to this one salesman and he mentioned the RX7 before I did,he seemed pretty cool if he's there tomorrow im gonna try to test drive an RX8.

We bought a Mazda 6 that night, so I got to pretty much do what I wanted. We bought the 6 after I drove both, if the RX-8 drive better, I would have ended up with that car.
I can thank Mini for building the car I ordered with the wrong colored roof for my trip to the Mazda dealer, Im sure the Mazda 6 will be much more practical then the Mini anyhow.
