Are you happy with your Rx8?

I know that I loved my Rx8 to death, literally, I only had it for a year and a half bought it brand new right off the truck no less it litterally had 7.8 miles on it when i bought it on 23 Dec 2004 (05 sport model) in a year and a half I put 47k miles, lets see where to begin, i saw 153mph that was awesom. i got nailed coming back from 7-stock at 110mph that was fun... not should have kept going. After she got hit the first time (hit and run) we installed a complete mazdaspeed body kit, down force was awesome( with stock suspension it will rub the nose at 130mph). Got rid of her after I stuffed it in the back of a Mazda 6, their fault but even after the repair she didn't drive right and I think that it did irreperable damage to the engine. Will I buy another, until I came on orders to Iraq I had a contract on an Anniversary edition, I plan on picking up a R3 model when I get back but I will probably order it
