Jeph - I'll probably get rid of the amber someday. I don't really mind it to be honest.
The RX-8 is OK, but I agree that it will have a pretty dated look in a few years. Few cars can pull off looking stylish for a long time. The old Nissan Zs still look good, and I still rubberneck anytime I see a later model Toyota Supra. Those are cool cars
