Mine would choose the rotary, hands down.

For whatever that's worth.

Explain to her how you need a mistress (or anal) but would settle for a V8.

This, in spades. My wife refuses to admit a car with a V6 should be called a Mustang.

"Honey either give up the ass or fetch me a V8, would ya"?

I'm betting 99% of the time you are getting tomato juice.

The sound aspect is good. She will like that. Not enough to drop 12k on Keith's potential swap kit though.

I'm betting 99% of the time you're getting slapped, followed by a week on the couch and a month of no sex... unless she's into it.

My wife would say " what's an rx8, oh that's pretty, do whatever"

Then, on the other hand I would have to have the money and learn how to actually accomplish stuff like that lol

Wait, what? Are you planning on having Cabbage Patch Kids size children? Ever seen the back seat of an RX8? Ever seen the size of a car seat/carrier/thingy? Minivan is the answer...c'mon....you know it...

The GTO has a huge back seat, if you can wait the 30 seconds it takes for the electric slider to move the seat forward. I'm 5'11" and with my seat in m,y regular driving position I could get another adult behind my seat with plenty of legroom. It like the backkseat of an 80's G-Body GM, minus the velour.
