Is DDing an RX8 a terribad idea? I know how to take care of a rotary, and I don't mind the oil consumption since my current pistoncuck DD ironically probably burns more than a dorito does. I do have a second car I can use as backup, and I'm a technician so doing my own work is not a problem. I'd be keeping it mostly stock minus stuff like suspension mods.
I would get an FC, but the RX8 seems like a better DD to me since it's newer with more creature comforts, safety, and newer engineering, especially in the suspension. Not to mention they're fairly cheap since they're the black sheep of the RX family.
Someone post the cap, I don't have it.
Short answer: not a terribad idea if you are willing to maintain it and don't care about oil and fuel consumption.

I definitely don't, my current car is an older scoobydoo that burns about 3 quarts every 3500 miles and gets about 18 city/32 highway. If anything it'll be better because it makes the sameish fuel economy with much more power.

If you're going to buy an RX-8, get one with low miles or one that was owned by someone who used pre-mix. The oil metering system in the RX-8's is really poor, so without the extra oil, the seals don't last long.
The Idemitsu stuff is fairly expensive, but I wouldn't use anything else.

Cops were called and eventually from what I hear they caught up to him and impounded the car and took them to jail for a bit.
Also the charger also has hood clips and no lock...so lets just say someone found this car and maybe possibly put a steamer (brand of air filter) to replace the old one and added some new "coolant". Basically everyone I know who spotted this thing fucked with it.

Modern Charger?

Are aftermarket underdrive pulleys a meme? I've read it's a 10-15 HP upgrade for my 3l V6 that doesn't reduce gas mileage.
How can we prevent people from disabling random Tesla vehicles by opening the hood and cutting the emergency disconnect?

just unplug any electric cars that you see in public parking lots
especially if you see them just pull up

Don't leave it unlocked? Then again, will the door handles pop out without the key nearby even if it's unlocked?

What do you guys do about road ragers? I had an encounter with one the other day who followed me until I was able to lose him.
I put my foot on the pedal that makes me go fast
I had one once.
He followed me for a good 15 minutes. Then I pulled onto the street that leads to the bad part of town. he wasn't long turning around

no thanks. another chinese company with assets owned and leased to faraday.
the intellectual property is owned by the chinese and licensed to faraday. so what does faraday and its investors actually own and control? basically nothing.
How long do they plan on keeping this charade up?
What do you think of this gen of Moostank?
Too pigfat to be a fox body, many fox body mods don't work on it yet too primitive to have "modern" crazy output engines. Worst of both worlds.

Its literally an updated Foxbody, will take Windsor's stock and you can get IRS for it.

Im a sad lad with no car, browsing the auto board
Don't really like to drink much anymore after going sober so I avoid going out. Kinda lame but maybe one day I'll find a GF that doesn't like to drink much either.
Plan for this weekend: wake up early tomorrow and do some pulls with the Gixxer. That is the only thing that gets my blood pumping anymore these days. Maybe find some Mustang to race or something
Because I sold my nightmare V70R from hell and now I daily a pos Grand Cherokee with the 4.0l and no 4wd :l Looking at E46 M3s though, insurance is more affordable than I thought

as rob spaghetti said
the deposits are completely refundable
noone knows how many people will actually take delivery of the cars until it actually happens, in well over a year.
in that tim eim sure a lot of people are just going to take different options.
BMWs highest sales are in America. As a proud German, I thank you America for driving my countries pride.

>deposits that can be refunded whenever the customer wants
>pre-orders will take almost 2 years to fulfill
while still impressive, those numbers are inflated. Even more inflated is the stock value.
Are they safe now?
>>17346072
They always have been if you install them right and inflate them to the correct pressure.

>>17344520
You either drive it every 3 days and do it until it somehow fails, or you drive it occasionally and the battery is always dead.
Oh, and the F1 gearbox is shit and unreliable.
It's italian, everything electric will fail at some point.
>>17344520
It's kinda old and not very collectable. Plus it's a convertible and not the superior hardtop version. Only +s are that it's a Ferrari
>>17344570
Funny how I've actually had my 456 GT for almost 20 years and never got battery problems since they actually provide a switch for when you leave it sitting for long periods. The car is fine OP, high mileage though.
