Three weeks in and I still love the new car!

So most of my normal blog followers know that I traded the STI in on a 2010 Rx-8 R3 Aurora Blue on a Monday night while it was still in the shop for a broken oil pick-up tube that Wifey and I had told them to check the first time it lost a turbo and the second time it lost a turbo. So the Rx-8 R3 has great handling it's not an STI mind you as it's down at a little over 100 ft. lbs. of torque and about 70 HP ... But it's one of those cars like all my other Rx-7's that you just love to drive anyways. It's redline is variable from as low at 5k when stone cold to 9k when nice and warmed up. To drive one hard is to love the Wankel rotary engine!
