I have personally had great luck with my 2005 RX-8. I bought it in september, and it's been great to me. I agree, that fuel consumption is a bit...much...but I can live with that. Also, it only needs a LITTLE oil added after every 4-5 fillups with gas. This is only because the engine consumes oil. The only other thing I do is let the car warm up before shutting it off. Early RX-8's would flood if you shut the car off while cold (i.e. turning the car on, moving it 20 feet, and shutting it off). This was caused by fuel still in the engine having nowhere to go...and would foul up spark plugs and your catilytic converter. After ECU upgrades, this problem isn't really that bad...as you only really have to rev it over 3.5krpms for about 10 seconds...and shut the car off while the rpms are still high. I have to say, for the 'quirks' that a wankel has, I must say...it's a great handling car...and though not the torquiest car out there...does what I need it to. Plus it's pretty nice that the redline is at 9krpms.
Could it be? It might just come out? Maybe the Duke developers can give Valve a little boost so they will release Team Fortress 2...which should have came out in 2000 I think...
Oh yes, I would much rather have 5000 new drugs, that might have adverse side effects and will kill me...than to have 10 new drugs that have had a bunch of research done...
Duh! They will reference past querys you made. If they see "Teletubbies Fan Club", and "Rugrats Spectacular!" They will know your underage...or have no life.:)
