just wanted to see a new thread here.looks like im the only one from alaska.should see more people from wash,oregon,etc though.where are you guys and gals?anyway i will post as soon as i the cars get up here.should be soon [3rotor spotted one at port]only takes 4 days from wash.mine is due to port 7/12/03.:D

I'm here :D - and that car is still parked there. Some movement of RX-8 just repositioning from what I can tell. They were loading a couple of trucks today with a variety of cars, but no RX-8s:(

I didn't see any RX-8's loaded on trucks either, just other Mazdas.
I did get to see a mica red RX-8 against the fence. My wife and I hopped the RR tracks and snuck a peek. It looked sweeeet! No options had been installed, but it was still nice to look at.

I drove to Milam Mazda immediately afterwards and was told they will be in this week. Let's hope for the best.

3rotor,just curious how you new the one buy the fence was bound for ak,do they right it on the windshield or something?

The back windsheild was marked with a white "AK" then a couple of numbers.

hi guys! good to hear from you all. thanks for the updates 3rotor. let me know if you are down at the port friday when the next ship comes in- my car is supposed to be on it :D

hey all, Im from central washington the tri-cities area and am in the 1st allocation as well. My rx-8 is being delivered to foothills mazda in spokane though because my dealer around here was too stupid to know what the rx-8 was when i ordered back in early feb, and judging from their inventory(lincoln mercury mazda the autoplex tri cities) i should have one of the only ones from around here for a while

welcome! what exactly are the tri-cities? i haven't lived here all that long.

the tri cities are three cities of decent size all located around the snake columbia and yakima rivers where they come together around southern central washington.....Richland, Kennewick, and Pasco

hey zoom,your car coming in on the boat due to dock on the 11th also?i sure hope they dont hold our cars up as long as the first batch.my dealer shows mine coming to tacoma on the 11th but still a delivery date of 2nd week of august.whats your excpected date?just curious if its the same as mine.just doesnt seem right to take a month to deliver,it only takes 4 days on the boat to get to anchorage.

hey gr8rx, I am from Richland. How about you???
