2009 RX-8
So last week my NC had to go in for the Japanese annual car inspection. Every three years here everyones car must be inspected to make sure they have no problems or producing to much pollution. So, my dealer being the nice cool guy he is hands me the card key to a brand new 2009 RX-8 as a loner car! New Renesis rotary engine producing 212 HP, paddle shifter, leather heated seats, Bose system and pretty much every option there is on this bad boy. I was in heaven for the 2 days I had it. It drove very nice and handeld quite well, though it did feel a bit funny because it's so wide. I expected more power from the rotary, but don't get me wrong there was plenty there. I had to becareful at times, doing 150kmh in it felt like I was only doing 30. The heated seats were nice and so was the height adjuster. The Bose system rocked and I used it to it's full (I love loud music) Anyways, it was just to dang tempting... So I had to have some fun in this car before taking it back. I drove it near an open dirt area and made a nice figure eight, then went cruising around.
