    Between Mia and flying it is time to cut back to one race car. This is one of the nicest T3 RX8 race cars out there. One of the only 2005 and newer cars that came straight from the dealer instead of flood or wreck recovery. RX8 is still the car to have in Touring 3 as RX8's have finished 1st and 2nd at 2006 and 2007 National Runoff Championships.

    Alrighty, I saw those pics of the interior and thought it might need a good one over before you sold it, glad it's getting taken care of.

    Good luck with the sale. Looks like a fun car for someone.

    Yep, qualifying during the week was dusty and race Saturday was pouring rain, a little dirty inside. I don't think Jano is doing interior work, so if you want to do the inside that would be great. I should have it back in a couple weeks. Thanks.
