MP5 and RX-8 - Year Round/Summer?!?

[skuzbucket]

Well - Needed to get winter tires for the RX8...

NO WAY I am paying upwards of 3000 bucks to do that. I didn't want to have to live with the TPMS freaking out and beeping, flashing a light, etc... So...

My wife got an 2003 Vivid Yellow MP5 for me for Xmas (I get to pay for it though)

Cheaper to buy the MP5 than to buy tires and wheels over a 16 month period. The math was scary.

Paid 13500 for the MP5.

Whaddya all think?

that's awesome. I can't wait to be an attorney and be able to decide that I need to buy a "winter car" over buying a new set of tires... :D
I'm sure that it makes economic sense as you've said but that's just awesome... :D

they both look nice (rofl2)

yeah .. hella nice ... so what are you gonna do about snow tires?

[skuzbucket]

put them on the mp5 and store the RX-8

If you have ever driven an 8' in anything slippery - you would understand :(

[gjmoreo]

so you will store the RX-8 and drive your wife's Mp5?

2004 RX8
2003 MP5
2001 Jeep Cherokee

RX8 drives in summer and nice days only since the traction leaves something to be desired in the winter.

She drives the 4 wheel drive truck and I drive one of the cars, unless she gets to one first...

[gjmoreo]

nice ... makes sense now ... I too have to put the Mp3 away in the winter and drive a JEEP TJ ... are you into jeeps? off-road?

[skuzbucket]

on my third Cherokee

Would like to get into offroading, but...

I broke a steering rack on my 98' and the wife put a stop to the offroading...

:bs:

[gjmoreo]
