It's only about 11,000 miles for 2005. But there's the matter of not having enough room in the car for everything. Even with a tire trailer there's still not enough room...particularly if the person in the shotgun seat would like to recline his/her seat slightly instead of sitting bolt upright hours on end and/or we want to bring rain tires. There are two other practical reasons why towing is a better idea. 1) You have something else to drive while the car sits at the event site and 2) If you break something, it doesn't get in the way of you getting back home on time.

Plus, of course, this all assumes that the RX-8 will outlast a tow vehicle, which it almost definitely won't. Having a tow vehicle available opens up future possibilities that will be impossible without a tow vehicle (a 7 or Miata in DM or a Cobra)
SVT or Factory Five?
