This is brilliant and traverses through time with far-seeing insight. Thank you for writing this!

You’re not wrong. But there are plenty of other people that are part of the Jalopnik commentariat with crazier rides. I just happened to score a great deal on one and I’m able/willing to do most of the wrenching myself.

I mean, the body sounds like it’s gonna fall apart, but that thing sure puuuuurrrrrs now. Congrats! Enjoy that thing!

You were in Seattle and you didn’t meet-up with any local 1st gen NSX owners?! Stef, c’mon. As a fellow Seattle-ite you gotta hit me up next time, for shame. You could’ve taken mine out and then tried to NOT spout cliches about how the new car feels so artificial compared to the OG NSX.

Not to mention the guilt-trip when it comes to tipping. Or the weird smells. Or the classic, “I can’t take card, the machine is broken. Cash only.” Uh huh, sure.

Yo, man. What the actual fuck?

Some neat concepts for sure. Although, yeah, that GoPro ain’t staying in its place for long. I actually KINDA want this. KINDA.

You’re probably right. Drag strip, yes. Road course, maybe not so much.

So, wait. Are they expecting the buyers of this car to actually take this thing on a track? Are we supposed to expect that?

I still contend that some cars look great in a matte finish, black or otherwise. Not all cars, though. pound-sign not all cars.

Fuck yeah. Two of my cars are from the 90's and the other one from the mid aughts and I can operate ALL the controls by feel and not have to take my eyes off the road. Screw all this vague touchscreen shit.

Wait, are these things street legal? Great snaps, btw! Thank for bring them to us!

Grid dogs, I can totally get behind. As long as they aren’t overheating.

You know, I’ve thought on and off again about picking up another RX-8 and using it as a track rat. Keep all the drivetrain stock and just dump money into suspension, brakes, and a track time.

I’m not going to disagree with you. Although that extra oil injector seems like a neat-o improvement. All that exterior facelifting made it worse, imho.

That is the facelifted (last gen RX-8). Most people hated the refreshed look, but the reliability tweaks to the Renesis engine made it hard to argue with. Of course, rotary heads still argued.

And just think... there are grown-ass adults who still do this stupid shit to their headlights and taillights.

UUnnnnnggggh, the sound that thing makes is intoxicating. Sounds like... the future.

The car started out with two flanges, one for each turbo. It only came back with one. One wonders if the motor ate the other one for the energy content stored in its mass...

Did Ed Sheeran just need to do a pop song to get more money or something?
