Well, after many months of researching and waiting my car has arrived. Nordic Green GT 6mt and more. It came in on friday and I picked it up yesterday. I have already broken the break in procedures I set for myself. The revs climb so fast, at least I only went up to 6500. I can't wait till 600 miles, only 545 more to go. :)

Some things I have noticed: No matter how many threads you read about the nav system, its still confusing as hell when you first use it. However, you do learn quick. This car is fast. For me it is plenty quick. I know other cars are faster, but there will always be faster cars. No pictures can tell you what the green looks like. They are all wrong. You have to see it in person, in different types of light, at different angles.

I would just like to thank everyone who has participated on this board, without it I would be clueless to this car. I would like to thank all the mods and Ryan(BOOSTED7) too. This is starting to sound like an academy award speech so I am gonna wrap it up. This is an awsome car. Well worth the wait.

Congrats!

I just saw the nordic green color yesterday on the dealer lot. Nice!

ConGRATS!

Oh, and how many people have recieved thier debit cards who are entitled to them? I still havent recieved mine.

Just called Mazda today checking on mine. They said it can take 8 weeks to process, and my request was received 9/23/03. A couple more weeks yet.

If I was to buy again, the Nordic Green might be the top choice. Beautiful in person. And I still love my Winning Blue too. Enjoy your RX-8!

Yes!! Nordic Green! It's super!

(I don't have a sig: never bothered. But I love my NG GT.)

Congratulations.

Congratulations Jim!!!
And especially on your choice of color, the green is amazing!
It has been over a month for me and no debit card.
Enjoy!
Pam

congrats :)

And the first 600 are definatly the hardest, but worth the wait! I just hit 700 and the last 100 were a blast.

thanks everyone. Well, Im a little over 100 miles now. My first day driving it and it was rainy. :( Oh well, it was still a great day in my book. I'm allready getting better at the nav system and I am gettin used to the clutch. I have also allready fit 4 people inside too. Including my 6 foot plus roomate in the back. Here are a couple of pics I managed to grab between work and class.
