I had owned the car for 8 months and after it gave out on me i decided to go with a sports luxury and garage the 8 until i decide to fix it one day.. The g35 is automatic just because all the extra money i would probably want to spend on modding it up will go into my wallet for the 8 later on..

edit** and what above said is true.. not driving the sh*t out of an rx8 will result in engine failure later on down the road.. i bought the rx8 with 73k miles, wish i would have went with a lower milage one but i got the car for 5.5k so i didn't mind
...and the dealer isn't replacing it under warranty? I know people that are on their SECOND replacement engine.

73k mile RX8 for $5,500? That makes it tempting enough for an LSx swap
