My First Car
After months of deliberation, and no small bit of help from many of you guys, I bought my first car today. I test drove about a dozen cars, loving some and hating others, but at the end of it all I decided to go with the car that stole my heart the first time I saw one. So, without any further ado, allow me to present my first car -- the ultimate lean, green, 100 hp machine, a 2004 Toyota Prius!
JOKING!
It's a 2007 Mazda RX8 GT with 26K KMs on it (around 17K Miles). It was used as a showroom car until February 09 though, so it's only been on the road for about two years. I'm basically broke after paying for it, taxes, a year of insurance and a full tank of gas, but it was all worth it, if only for that first drive home.
I'll post some more pictures tomorrow with the car in better light. I'm going out in a few minutes to see what it's like driving at night in it .

congrats. i had one from 2007-2009, a grey GT on orange and black leather, with oem lip kit. Bought it new with a huge discount
Great car, very underrated package. I needed a good winter car though and drifting on the highway is not always fun...

Thanks guys! And Maitre, that sounds great haha. Did you try using a good set of winter tires? Or did it make no difference. That was one thing I was worried about when I first thought about buying the car.
