Hi! My name is Ian, and I've been a lurker of this board I think for over a year now...haha, why I've been reading for so long and never bothered to register beats me, but I guess I finally broke down and did. I absolutely love the Mazda RX-8 and have been drooling over it for a long time. I currently drive a Mazda Protege 5, but I hope to "upgrade" to either a 6 or 8 (<---hoping for an 8!!!), depending on how well I do in college. :-D I just wanted to say that you all are a great group of people and despite the occasional flaming, it's nice that it definitely isn't as bad as other forums, and I appreciate the kick back nature of it here.

To those who have an 8, you guys are lucky bastards *extremely jealous* ;) :D :p lol

I don't know if I'm gonna post much, but I just wanted to say "hi" and to wish everyone a happy holiday season! Merry Christmas! :D

Welcome and Happy New Year! :)

Welcome to the group, and you're right: '8 owners are just nice people!
