Just as the title says I am new to the world of rotary engine vechicles however I have been the proud owner of 2 Proteges. One sold and the last lost in a violent accident on the 17th of December. The only thing lost in the accident was the car however so the old metal was replaced with a 2005 Winning Blue RX-8 GT fully loaded without the navi. I only have dealer photos because I am in the military and currently in Korea. I have never even driven the car or a RX-8 period. I will return home in Vegas within the next month in a half. I can't wait to drive this car I am so excited I have been reading threads on this for a week and a half. I still haven't even seen the car in person yet, I bought it on the phone with a dealer. Price prior to tax tag and title was 23,900. I was very pleased with the deal, the car only has 4000 miles on it. I am currently associated with AutoRnD. I am not sure if I will do anything for them here but I am a AV on www.protege5.com and have over 2000 posts. Anyways on to the pictures, I will include accident shot of my Protege5 which was hit by a 1994 Chevy Suburban at 50 MPH.

Welcome, Dave, and thanks for serving in the military. You will indeed love this car. Not only does it have great looks and performance, but it is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever driven.

Welcome to the forum Dave! Your car is beautiful - it looks just like mine. :)

Thank you for your service. Browse away on the threads here - you'll pick up a lot of things the RX-8-specific nuances of the car here before you get home to experience it in person.

Thanks for the welcome guys, I have been reading alot and trying to get a feel for what to do to my car. I am sure the mod bug will hit as soon as I drive it.

Welcome welcome welcome!!
