Wow this is strange! I've been a BMW owner for the past 6 years. Before that I owned two 84 Rx7's (one auto, one 5 spd) and a b2200. Last year we purchased a mazda 3 for the wife. This year I traded in the 540 for a rx8 (last saturday). So far I'm loving the car and since the email activation wasn't working i've had plenty of time to poke around the site and read up on a lot of useful information.

What's the strangest part is that i was on bimmerforums.com for 4 years and it's weird to not be there as a bmw owner. I hope my new home will entertain me as much as my last one!

Anyhoo, my car:

2004 Titanium Gray
Gt package
Navi
6spd

So far i'm loving it, here's a few pics i took the other day.

Sorry bout the lighting, I was so excited that I didn't want to wait for the sun to cooperate!

Thanks! been reading a lot around here, found out some good info. Owned a couple rx7's and played with them quite a bit. My 84 5spd had 4 barrel built carb, RB intake, full exhaust (headers back sounded so nice), sport clutch, lightened flywheel, it was a hoot!

I miss that car...

It seems that right now bringing out the potential is an oxy moron.... hopefully in a years time there will be more aftermarket support... until then i'll drive it and enjoy it like this :D

No wonder why they look so good Leo! How much do one of those cost?

I'd like to think that part of the reason they look so good is me too :D

The camera costs (use to cost) 1k, then 400 for one lense and about 110 for the other...

Few more i took today, can you tell i'm in love with this car? :D

Here's the thread on that topic: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=59066

where in san jose is that? Im pretty familiar with the area, that hill looks awfuly familiar, is that the hills by almaden expressway?

Think about putting a clear bra on your car... I got the same color and never got a chance to put a clear bra... I know it helps alot and you can hardly see it... I think 3M and LLumar makes them.. After owning the car for couple months I had the film put on the HID so that it wouldn't get pitted as much.. I wish I had the opportunity to put it on rhe rest of the car when I first bought it... Too late now but it does help ...

u picked the right color!! :)

very nice pictures.......change to clear conners....

What is up with the headlights on these cars? Mine are all pitted and yucky! I just tried some meguiars plastic polish and cleaner and it didn't even make a dent!

Hopefully someone will come out with glass ones.

Dookie- Clear corners on the list. Didn't know they existed till mid-wekk.
