2008 RX-8 in the Garage!

I went out and bought a 2008 RX-8 for the magazine yesterday. This is the car you'll see us at events with and it will appear quite frequently in the magazine; either as the victim of a modification or as our ride of choice for a road tripping adventure.

This being the 40th Anniversary Edition it has the special Bilsten suspension package, a performance-oriented crossmember, special 18-inch wheels and a Cosmo-hued interior -- bringing us back to the first Rotary sold around the world (one Cosmo Sport still lives in Jay Leno's Garage.)
