Congrats.
The first time you drive your car take the time to notice how many looks you get from the other drivers around you. I have had more people come up to me in parking lots and ask to see the car and the engine than I have ever had with any other car. Some people will argue about hp and trap times and why doesn't the ion noodleizer work properly, but the 8 is a fun car to drive, can seat four in a pinch, looks great and will cruise all day at 100+. Eventually Mazda will work out all the kinks. Until then enjoy the 95% satisfying ride.

Agreed. Lots of people get caught up in numbers, heck even I from time to time (after reading posts) get a little frustrated. But the fact of the matter is that I loved the car on the test drive and that's what matters. Would I like some extra hmph? Sure, but any time I start to second guess myself I hop in and take a ride to the video store about a mile down the street. That trip only takes me about an hour now. So many side roads to explore.

whoo hoo!

:p I am going Sat (or maybe fri) to get mine. I just hope the yellow is what i expect. (PC pictures never tell the true story). I think as long it does not look like creamed corn i will be OK.

The yellow looks sweet. Not too electric, but it certainly stands out. I opted for the tamer silver. Living in Vegas I wanted a light color and imho silver is such a classic sports car color. I haven't seen a color in the 8 I don't like.

OK just got back with my 8. i couldnt resist and after i pulled out of the dealershiop i drove it straight for 3 hours!!!!! I love the CAR!!!!!!!!!!! way better then my 2001 prelude!!!!! im going outside to take some pics..........

Very nice, congrats!

Congrats. Nice car, can't wait to be in your shoes... 30 more days!

Now honestly, do you care if it has got 238 or 220 or 249 hp? It can still get out of it's own way and it is such a blast to drive. As a matter of fact I think I need some milk and eggs, I'll be back in a couple of hours!

all the people bitching about the HP issue. I bet if u didnt hear anythign about the issue and u got in the car with the current hp of 238 and i told you it was 250 you would believe me. And whys that? cause you cant feel the difference!!!!!!! but anyways screw the HP issue, this car is a BLAST!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations. Nice pictures!

It looks like snow on the ground and stock tires on the car.

You know about those tires and snow, right?

Outstanding. I can totally relate! We've had ours less than a week, so we're still curisin' in the clouds -- prolly will be for the next couple years!

"Kewl Factor" meter is most definitely PEGGED!

Ah, you must have been a board reader before buying, I see the wheel turn in your pics!

Congratulations :)



Oh, and:
why doesn't the ion noodleizer work properly

You know, if it wasn't for this, I'd buy two more of em :mad:

Beautiful car and congratulations.

yeah... I never get tired of seeing pics of new RX8's...

congrats dude

Many of the current cameras produce images too large to view at full size. Some have options for creating images that are smaller than the array size.

Another alternative is to resize the image to make it smaller. The Microsoft Paint program has that capability:
> Start > All Programs > Accessories > Paint

Load the Image, then click
> Image > Stretch/Skew

Then enter some percent less than 100 into the Horizontal and Vertical entries, press [OK], save the file out, figure out how to get it into the forum.

If you want a very small image, like for an Avatar, that takes a bit of work to get something small that looks reasonable.

oooh im so jealous got to wait a whole 16 weeks to get my new car... sounds like forever! Yours looks just great. Enjoy!

congrats enjoy man
