Sell it on E-bay. Get insurance for shipping "accidents".

You will never live it down, you poor bastard.
We need to also remind ourselves that Toshi had a single car accident in a WRX.
Good thing the wipers were on for that one, looks like they had some inclement weather which needed the symmetrical AWD.We need to also remind ourselves that Toshi had a single car accident in a WRX.

At least your arm wasn't under it.

Luckily these stack collapses are slow motion due to soft bales. We see them coming for days and weeks before they fall over. Still dangerous to pick up.
The C7s sure look weird but apparently drive well. Buddy has a C6 Z06, did heads, cam, exhaust and tune, it's well over 700hp. Barely idles but destroyed a hellcat. Neat cars and getting pretty cheap these days.Ever since they boosted the Z06, the ZR1 kinda lost its oomph. I will forever remember the 5 minutes I spent beating on the '09 ZR1 in the back lot of Russ Chevy. They hounded me for a month after that and wouldn't let anyone else test drive it without paperwork beforehand (was listed for $68k with 16k miles).
I have yet to drive the C7Z (or any C7 actually), but the difference from the Z06 to ZR1 is very minimal since they kinda blew the wad on the Z06. The Grand Sport (if only it cam in a 6 speed manual) would be my ultimate. I will likely retire in a C6Z the way God intended unless the lottery hits, then the mid engine will be my demise.
wasn't he adamant that this was the best autocross car (a bloated top heavy car with a glass transmission and motor that can barely make 50 more hp without popping gaskets...) then went to an anemic RX8 or something?We need to also remind ourselves that Toshi had a single car accident in a WRX.
Sounds about right, although I wouldn't call the WRX top heavy.
I have a coworker who is on his 3rd engine in his RX8 with only 80k miles.
It's got a fairly high COG, but I guess it's par for the course for a family sedan turned sports sedan. Not surprising on the RX8. It seems like people can barely give them away used these days.
edit. checked locally. ave price is like 3k. tons of used ones for 1k with motor problems. Most have rebuilds or new motors. Some with low kms and rebuilt motors for 6k. lol. what a bad product.

Because rotary motors are shit. Really fun if you drive them right, but also shit. You really need to enjoy tearing motors down every other week if you buy one.
I had '85 back in high school and beat the shit out the thing. fun car but i did have to add lots of oil between changesGuy down the street bought a brand spanking new RX8 a couple years back. I don't it went 18 months before it started OBVIOUSLY burning oil.
Mine was $14k and only had 72k miles on a 14 year old car. After my buddy got his '05 C6 for $16k, so I went shopping. When the C7 came out, a ton of low mile C5/6 hit the market. I'm at maybe 400hp, but it does 1.2G in a turn.
My nephew bought one last year and was stoked. A month later the check engine light came on and it's been parked ever since. I am trying to talk him into an aluminum LS 5.3 swap.Guy down the street bought a brand spanking new RX8 a couple years back. I don't it went 18 months before it started OBVIOUSLY burning oil.
@Toshi had a love/hate for the RX8.

When I see scenes like this I am reminded of how most folks think that these buildings should be torn down. I always hope that somebody will come along and fix them up. They sold for $3 each. The city sells you the house for $3 but the commonwealth charges sales tax at the assessed value then you have to pay closing costs and fix all the housing infractions, pay liens, and the old water bills. All within 30 days of closing. Comps nearby are $370K. They let you slide on unpaid taxes though. 9, 13, 15, and 17.
9 is structurally deficient. 11,13 is the store and has 3 units paid for by the NRiA. 15 is pristine but lost its C of O. 17 is fully occupied and earns $3k a month.

where?
Just as I dont understand why people wait to report such things, I also dont understand the sense of entitlement that drives a person to think that they can do such things. WTF is wrong with people? If some moron whipped out his junk and started to wank in front of me, I would point and laugh, walk out and then sell my story to the highest bidder.
This was a group that my Father sang in in the 50s. They traveled the country doing shows...the hat guy is Studs Terkel, a Chicago writer, next to him is Winn Stracke and next to him is Big Bill Broonzy. On the far right is my Dad. Stracke started the Olde Town School of Folk Music, a Chicago music school notable for edjumakating many musical types, and Broonzy is a blues legend. And my Dad, of course, fathered me...

"Fox News legal analyst Mercedes Colwin" is just as guilty as those who whip it out in front of people expecting something in return. Hannity is scum...but what else is new.
