The fleet expands.

(Or you need more overlords, if Starcraft is your thing.)




It's a 2005 RX8 with a 6 speed manual, the Renesis 6 port rotary engine, and one of the most awful head unit arrangements known to man. We picked it up Tuesday.

It's not quite a station wagon or a truck, but the selling point of this sports car was that it could nearly do the station wagon schtick with the rear seat down. The other being my pregnant wife can easily get into the back seat. It's amazingly roomy back there. It's quirky too, and that goes a long way for me.

It's also got the 50/50 weight distribution of the MR2, weighs less, and puts out more horse power stock. Technology seems to have marched on. Then again, comparing a 20 year old car to a newer one is a little unfair.


Did I mention my wife wants to take on the payments of the car now that the BMW will be paid off within the week or so? Yah, she's awesome.
