BTW - the first love of my life that started it all.....
I was an early bloomer, and I bought this car myself before I was even old enough to get my license (I got my first job when I was 13, and graduated high school at 16). It was an 81 (I bought it in 86) and I literally grew up in that thing. After several years I ended up getting an 88 Turbo II, and loved it as well. It just seemed like a natural progression to go for the RX8 last year after I had paid my dues driving minivans and mom cars for the last 20 years.
I guess you can't go home again. Really sad this car hasn't worked out. I actually feel like crying when I talk about it. It was really symbolic for me, this car, after a terrible divorce years ago, single motherhood, and too many other things to get into.
But live and learn.
