in with the new.

This is a little overdue, but it’s been almost a month (4/25/09) since Justin has owned his ‘05 White Water Pearl RX-8 GT. We went down to the South Bay to pick it up at the seller’s house and while we were there I took some before shots. The car itself is pretty fancy – leather heated seats, 6 disc cd changer with an ipod thingie, auto dim rear view mirror, piano black trim, etc. Also, this is the first (ok, second time, but the real first time didn’t really count!) I’ve sat in a rotary-engine automobile…the sound of the car is so unique, it almost sounds like a hybrid car and the acceleration is very smooth. Overall, this car is pretty fierce and posh!
For now, the RX-8 has no name since Justin is quite particular. I’ve come up with plenty of names only to be rejected by the owner who wants to keep with the theme of “Napster”, his FD. I really like Opal, but that was a no go.
