ps: All your points on the RX8 are true YET I still want one. Mazda must put crack on their steering wheels for test drives?
No. It's not crack. It's better than crack. It's absinthe.

Since you bring it up.......

Ohh

Ehm

Eff

Gee.....

Buy some.

Have the best alcohol you could ever possibly experience. I knew there was a reason that I was so picky when it comes to drinking. That reason is that after you've had absinthe, everything else is just a shadow of what you could be drinking.

Moving right along.....

why not an S2000 instead? they are "fun" stock. really good handling, litlle body roll, easy to dump clutch and pull a 180 in place. fun little cars. best honda ive ever driven except nsx. its like honda's M roadster, except no where near an m roadster obv. if you havent driven one, you should. puts the mazda to shame. not familiar with the mods you can run on them, but im sure theres a surplus.

S2000s are also a bit expensive to mod, but otherwise, not a bad car (and I hate all Hondas, so me saying that is hard).

You could get an early NSX, no? I always thought they were bargains... not terribly fast or anything, but I've always been a fan. I don't know what the RX8 goes for though... I never liked them. I can't get over the look... is it supposed to be retro? I don't get it.

I'm not a fan of the front fenders. They look like those that turn with the wheels or something.

Taken from "The Book of Absinthe: A Cultural History" by Phil Baker -- Got this book as a gift last year!

SEBOR (55% Alcohol) Czech
The slightly tacky and exploitational UK advertising mentions Van Gogh's ear, and promises much stronger hallucinogenic effect than its major UK competitor, which is presumably a now outdated reference to Hill's. Sebor contains 10ppm thujone, while Hill's apparently contains a nominal 1.8ppm or less. I didn't see lizards on the wall, mutilate myself, or get the urge to beat my loved ones to a bloody pulp, but this is a very good brand nevertheless.


I want some! King's has 100ppm of thujone, though... so get with the program, and start hallucinating! I want bloodied relatives, and mutilated selves... lizards on the wall, too!

I think you can get early NSXs for low 20s now. Way cheaper than pretty much any RX-8.

Yeah get an NSX... very cool car. Nothing insane... but I think it's a great car... Heard its one of the nicest shifting cars ever, too.

And back to the absinthe... for those who clearly have more money than I...
