Due to recent requests for more green pictures, I took a few yesterday. Still don't do justice to the car, but here they are anyway!

First, here is a close-up of the paint, and it shows the different colored flecks in the paint pretty well.

A neat reflection (yes, that's a distorted me with the camera- gotta love the Zaino!)

And just in case you wondered what cat prints look like on a green 8...

Great pics. I thought I was looking at a snow storm when I saw the first pic :) Looks like you could use some Zaino tire conditioner there :p

get that cat away

love the pics and flakes in the paint

Hopefully that is a declawed cat :p

The cat prints are why I don't take it to my mom's very often. Last time, they were all over the spoiler. This time, the cat just jumped up on the hood, wandered around, walked up the windshield, wandered around on the moonroof, and walked down the back. Argh.

And yeah, I need some tire cleaner. But I'm lazy. The leather conditioner works really nicely, though- my car smells like a new saddle atm.

Elara - What leather product do you use on your car? I'm looking for something for the interior. BTW, I have Nordic Green too. Good pictures showing the color. :D

I use spray-on saddle soap to clean it, then put the Zaino leather conditioner on to protect :)

I am getting my apt complex to do something about the damn stray cats that live there. They harass my house cats, walk all over my car, and to top it off, some moron in my building keeps feeding them so they aint ever going away. They chase the wild ducks and Herons that stop by the place for a rest, and in general piss me off.

Hope ya didnt get any scratches Elara, like I tend to pick up from them.

Here's a solution and a great first post to the board.

Rat Poisoning + cat food=no more kitties.

Hey don't take me wrong I love animals just not stray ones that hurt rx-8s.

My names Patrick btw I just got my 8 last week.

I think you'd have some animal rights activists in an uprage.

I like Black Magic wipes....no over spray no drip 1 wipe works for all 4 tires...

Have to say, I may be the loan Zaino skeptic..

Elara,

The nerve of that cat! :)

Looks good. Thanks for sharing. Like the self potrait as well. Although you are looking a little green ...

I thought with zaino the cat was supposed to slide off??

:)

Nice pics. Nordic green is now 2nd on my list. After yellow, of course!

Elara, the moment I saw one in N Green I had to have that color. I know what you mean about how hard it is to capture. Looks black at night, dark green on cloudy days and the sparkle comes out when the sun shines on it. I used a closeup pic for the background on my page. See my pics at

gingersrus,

Your pictures do a nice job of capturing and showing off green..

Nordic Green rocks. Love the color. Best of the lot. Nice pictures. Will post mine soon.

Great pics, Elara! And funny you should take ones of the cat prints... back when we had a cat, I useta HATE it when he'd leave prints all over my car. I had forgotten about it until your pics reminded me. :)

I want to see the cat responsbile for those paw marks. :D

Stop Feeding Cats To Your Rx8!

Stop Feeding Cats To Your Rx8!

...looks like the paw prints stop right around the middle of the hood. That must be the trap and then the '8' engulfs it in the engine bay. :D

Great car!...was the cat playing in a bag of cocaine before going on your 8?

haha..still have no idea what cat it was that got all over it. And she now lives in a garage, so she doesn't have to worry about the little bas^$#$# anyway anymore!

you should find that cat and teach it a lesson.
