As much as I hate to do this (the winning blue with Spoiler and GT package is exactly the car I want), I can't buy it yet.

I just got back from Browns...the winning blue was just given up by the pre-order customer. It's available, at least as of 2 hours ago.

I am kicking myself...I got to ride in it around front. I could have had it if I was ready.

It's worth the wait to not have two car payments though. :( :cool:

you actually rode in it?????
bah!

btw I believe this is the one you're talking about:

i took the pic when i drop by the dealership after the mazda meet we had last saturday :)

The Winning Blue 8 has been sold as of 30 minutes ago!

I rode in it...probably could have driven it, but I figured someone would buy it soon, and since I wasn't ready, I will just wait until the demo shows up. No sense putting miles on someone else's car for no reason.

I was showing a friend the rx-8s, when the sales manager shows up and cranks the blue one up. I was surprised he was moving it, so I asked him if it was sold. He said no, about 30 minutes ago the person reniged. So I asked for a ride, and he took me around front. Obviously, there was no performance driving going on, but I got a feel for passenger comfort, and how smooth and quiet it is.

I then proceeded to sit in it, remove the engine cover, adjust the seat, etc. (Got scolded by a salesguy for looking at the engine...I just smiled.)

So anyway, I just drove away and left my dream RX-8 there for someone else to buy. I was heart broken. No one else had looked at it, Browns would do MSRP, I could've had it.

Sorry to go on and on...I am nearly in tears. :( Oh well, mucho motivationo to pay of the van as soon as possible. Here comes the bologna sandwiches!:)

PS...hope to see a bunch of RX-8s at the DC rev-it-up tomorrow.

That was my preorder, but due to money issues I had to give it up for now. Looking to get a 2005 RX-8.

I saw a blue one at the clocktower in herndon on Sunday on my way home from revitup.
