Re: Rx7 RX8

I took a test ride and opened it up. Like the RX7, it takes turns like it's
on rails and the acceleration is pretty amazing.
Problem is,  you are looking at 34-35K out the door.  If I could get the car
for around 24-25K I would probably get out the checkbook.  Great car.  Too
pricy. Every year another tier of jobs are sent to India and China. Now they
are targeting white collar professional folks.  Being 50+ I may as well have
a bullseye taped to my back.  35K is hard to do when you are seeing hundreds
of your coworkers getting the axe.
