Long time admirer of the car - now just bought my first - a used 05 w/AT last week.
...actually convinced the wife it could be her car... :naughty: little does she know...

First question - what is best place for service etc. of car. I'm in Plano - is there one dealer that is better than the others...actually bought the car at Town North Mazda in Richardson

Look forward to meeting up with others and seeing what "mods" everyone has done.

Any GTG's on the horizon?

Welcome to the club Wayne! Better hope the wifey doesn't catch on..... :suspect:

welcome to the addiction woo hoo

pic's or it doesn't exist lol

I always get mine serviced at Town North Mazda, they have taken good care of me. I always talk to Mike or Victor at the service desk. What color did you get?

Sup, Wayne?

Town north, definately. I'm exclusive to Penny, but Mike & Victor are cool. Look forward to seeing you around!

got the Whitewater Pearl w/ black interior. Looking at the website thought I saw somewhere that they only had that color for 2 years 05 and 06 - is that right?

Welcome Wayne! I hope this answers some of your questions...

1st - I have personally had GREAT experience with Town North Mazda for service. Talk with Penny Zhine, she is the best!!! (I dont care what anyone else says)

2nd - I will get a meet going soon in the next week or so if someone does not beat me to it

3rd - the Whitewater Pearl was a produced in 05 & 06 only. from 07 to present the white is Crystal White Pearl

Let me know if you have any more questions about the 8, hope to see you out sometime

congrats and welcome to the club

Welcome to the club.

Looks like WTB may have a twin now.

Hey man im also in the Plano area (Murphy to be exact). What part in Plano are you in? O and for warranty work Town North has been amazing.

I'm just North of Parker off Independence.

Obvious concensus seems to be Town North for the servicing work...car had just over 26K on it so will be coming up for the 30K "check up" shortly. Wife took it in yesterday (fog lamps weren't working) - they replaced them but servicing tech mentioned some problems with the rear tires...will have to give them a call to see what they're talking about.

Hope to see you all soon...

Welcome! Glad to have more people in the community.

We are having a meet on Thursday, you can check it out here: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=186074

If you do decide to go on Thursday, let me know. I'm about 5 minutes north of you (Ohio and Spring Creek) and we can meet up and drive over there. When I'm in town, RowlettRX8er and I usually cruise over there together.

I will also jump on the Town North bandwagon. I've had nothing but great service from those guys. I've always worked with Victor, but they are all great. I just had them do my 30K service and they were great. Didn't try to sell me anything I didn't ask for.

Hopefully you can make it on Thursday!

i might also be able to make it out this Thursday and im located near spring creek and 75
