View Full Version : Finally getting the 8, pick it up tonight
Section 8 11-07-2005, 01:03 PM Well, we're finally picking up the RX8 tonight to make my dream all rotary garage come true. We found a Silver 05 6MT with MT Touring package for $24,4K after a rebate for financing through Mazda. Been holding out for a while hoping for a deal and I think this is it. I'll post some pictures tonight with my RX7 after we get it home.
Damn, I'm excited. We've already picked out the plate, since it will be my wife's car: ROTR GRL
:D

You and I got a good price. Is that with or without tax?
StewC625 11-07-2005, 05:10 PM Wow, an anti-piston garage! Nice!
Would love to see the two cars side-by-side.

Section 8 11-07-2005, 08:56 PM wtf is the curse of silver?
Im_DANomite 11-07-2005, 09:02 PM haha...just seems like all the silver 8s are turning into scrap metal. try a search on curse of the silvers. you'll be surprised how many silver 8s turn up wrecked.
bad coincidence. either way...congrats!!!!
ZoomZoomH 11-07-2005, 09:26 PM an all-rotary garage... such beautiful sight *sniff*
crimson-rain 11-08-2005, 01:37 PM YEEEEAAAAAH BABY, YEAH!!!
Nice man. So you just picked it up eh? How many miles you put on it already, 800? LOL Love what you've done with the garage. Not a piston in sight.
SayNoToPistons 11-08-2005, 04:20 PM 8 as a daily driver? FD as a track car? dayum nice.

i'm not sure how many mile exactly, but the wife drove it quite a bit today :) Hope to catch up with you next season at autox when I'll be instructing my wife too! She'll also become my new tire caddy since I can't get my track tires in the FD :o
Section 8 11-08-2005, 07:37 PM 8 as a daily driver? FD as a track car? dayum nice.
HAHA, i wish the 8 was my DD, I've got a 99 Tacoma for that, this is the wife's car
SayNoToPistons 11-08-2005, 07:42 PM oh yeah. you posted in 7club. you still get to drive it ehhhh? lol
crimson-rain 11-09-2005, 11:00 AM HAHA, i wish the 8 was my DD, I've got a 99 Tacoma for that, this is the wife's car
"Honey, can I use your car today. The Tacoma won't start and the FD is at the shop." - joe says while hiding the fact he cut the wires on the Tacoma and parked the FD WAAAAAAAAAAY down the street.
SayNoToPistons 11-09-2005, 04:27 PM he'll never park a FD in the streets unless there are other rotaries in a caravan LOL.

HAHA, this sounds like my girlfriend and I only I've got the RX-8 and she's got the Tacoma.
It's times like this I am REALLY grateful she can't drive a M/T. :)
Congrats again on the car
Section 8 11-10-2005, 07:59 AM oh yeah. you posted in 7club. you still get to drive it ehhhh? lol
I hope so! i've still only put about 15 miles on the thing, and now she's going to NJ this weekend to visit her mom, so I won't get to drive it at all this weekend. I was hoping to wash/wax it and shoot some pics with my car, but I guess that'll have to wait.

park my FD anywhere but the garage? BLASPHEMY! Calm your tongue!

HAHA, i'm just glad that she has it now, so she'll stop bugging me to drive MY car ;)

NICE!
I would love to see my wife drive my silver 8 (curse does not apply) but she hasn't told me she wants to learn yet. I've asked her numerous times and have almost given up.
I would love to see the look on her face when she gets to 70mph in one third the time it takes her in her 96 neon. She hasn't decided on which new car she wants yet.
Foz'sRX8 11-10-2005, 08:55 AM Congrats on your NOPISTON household!
I finally got an '04 8 this week; Brilliant Black GT w/6MT, Red/Black Interior, rear spoiler.
I park it in the driveway just behind my '93 VR RX7, cause nuthin'll fit in our garage.
So, for awhile, I'll have 2 Rotaries; until somebody buys my 7 (click the link in my sig to see her).
A couple years ago, I had an '87 NA RX7 for a DD, to replace my '91 Miata that my stepson totaled.
Hope to get pixs this weekend.
Section 8 11-12-2005, 09:45 PM few more pics. I was gonna wash/wax it this weekend but the wife had to take a trip to NJ to see her mom

Stupid Virginia requires us to have a county sticker and state inspection sticker on the damn windshield. No way to get around it without a hefty fine.
4 years to Supercharge 11-13-2005, 03:29 PM That's too bad.
Speedrx8er is moving there soon I'm sure he will be happy about that.
SayNoToPistons 11-13-2005, 09:32 PM wow the 3rd pics makes the rx8 look a hell lot bigger than the FD. yeah i know it is but...WOW!
Speedrx8er 11-13-2005, 10:01 PM That's too bad.
