My RX-8 is sold. 
After months of only lowballers I had two people interested in buying it today. One showed up with cash and said he wanted it today. The bank still has the title, but he didn't want to wait so I gave him a bill of sale in exchange for a wad of cash and watched it drive away. I will have to meet up with him to transfer the title in a few days.
Goodbye RX-8, you were a great car.
Looks like a happy little car. 
I mean, you know, in a manly sort of way.
Nice!

Yea. Look at those dimples...
She hasn't even been gone a day and already I'm looking at replacements.

I do like the Miatas big sister, I wish I could find one with a broken heart. But alas, I wouldn't yet be able to afford to take her to the dance if I found her.
Soon maybe, Soon ;)
Go buy that Miata. Right now. Stop posting, leave work early, go get it.
Nu uh. Ever'body has Miatae. Go buy that slicktop MR2.
The same thing happened years ago when the ex-g/f sold her M3. Sat for 2 months at the end of her driveway in NJ until one day a guy from Long Island called, looked at it, and gave her a check for her full asking price ($17K back in '04).

5sfe non-turbo SW20 vs. Miata with Flyin' miata turbo kit, standalone EMS, low miles, matching hardtop, and super gangster Axxis 4-spokes?
The cars are the same price. I love an SW20 as much as the next guy, and red miatas are pretty much my least favorite thing, but that Miata is a STEAL. The SW20 isn't.
I emailed about the miata. Unclear who made the turbo kit or what engine management it's running from the ad. I will probably look for a better example of the mr2.
Buy both. That slicktop mr2 isnt worth 3k though, $1800 at most. I bet you can get both for about $4000.

I never said pay him full price.

One is for her
Ben, I'm not seeing all the stuff youre pointing out on that miater. Yeah, the obvious stuff, but i see no indication of a standalone anywhere(no maf?), although it does look similar to an older FM kit.

No MAF, definitely an FM2 kit (The Begi would look similar, but has a super ugly BPV crossover pipe instead of the hose you see there). I'm guessing it's either running a Hydra or a Megasquirt. Kit looks pretty current.
If it's got the fuel, and it should, it's a 250whp car waiting to happen, if it's not already. And it'll last forever. Those kits are incredibly durable.
*EDIT
Looks like Keith already confirmed.

You kept the plates rite? I guess a bill of sale will cover liability in case something happens. Me just being paranoid.

Stop talking to her!
In reply to dean1484:
In Washington the plates stay with the car. I am calling now to pull it from my insurance, the BOS should cover me though. If I were the buyer I don't think I would have been so trusting though!
