Ianyone here gotten their car on the east coast? or know of a dealer that has them....

I'm dying to test drive one, though I did see it at the NY auto show.

 

There are 8's all over the country. At least two seperate shipments to both sides of the country. Your best bet is to call around and see what you can find.

Hi I got my car at Mazda, Great Neck they had one other fully loaded silver rx8 but wasnt allowing any test drives.

 

i got my blue rx-8 from great neck. what color did you get? the yellow?

 

yes i got the yellow one picked up on 7/26, When did u pick up your car? we should get together!! =P

 

I'm still waiting for my Titanium Grey from Great Neck Mazda. Did they give you guys any idea as to when you were going to get your car? Or did it arrive unexpectedly?

 

I just went in one day to get my finance stuff over wit and that morning my car came in on the truck so i got a great surprise!! I doubt they really know when its coming in either I knew it would be there soon all thanks to bufar.

 

i got mine on 7/31. I have yet to see a rx-8 on the road. I could always use a partner

 

I should be getting mine this week. I did not pre-purchase it. I just walked into the Dealer and they had 1 left so i left a deposit and im going tom night to do the finance and maybe even pick it up.....

Where in NY r u people from I suppose not to far from me since a lot of you have been to Great neck I live in Hicksville..

I'm from Fresh Meadows, but i go to school at stony brook university.

 

nova did you get lifetime oil chanes from the dealer??

 

i just graduated from Stony Brook

on a side note i did convince the dealer to gimmie the spare kit free

nove ill let u know when i get my RX8 we should ride around.. except... well im not really that fluent in Stick yet.. gotta get over that learning curve..
only drove stick when i usta Valet

 

Yup and i get free gas if i get someone to buy a rx-8 . Handing out cards because this car is not the greatest on gas mileage.

 

im gettin mine from Wantagh.. think they would honor ur thing.. prob not but if u want i could give it a try... lemme know. i might actually go tonite to get it [has his fingers crossed]

 

i first ordered the blue automatic rx-8 from wantagh mazda, but i changed my mind to manual and got a blue one in great neck. wantagh mazda is a good dealership and very informative.

 

Congrats shocka I will be graduating this december, did you stay on campus?

After you get your car u me and nova should go crusing together, I just installed clear side running lights on my rx8 imo it looks much better than the amber stock ones.

 

yah i lived on Campus i was in UGA-A last year and dewey 2 years before it...

we should def go cruising once i get the whole stick thing down...
yah i will be saving for stuff but i have alot i wanna do already

I just installed my 20 gig mp3 player in my car. Im dying to see another rx-8 on the road. If you guys are near farmingdale go to jillians by the farmingdale multiplex every tuesday night. Its a car show with all muscle cars and just anyone who wants to show off their car. I'll be there almost every week showing it off, so just come and join me and we'll talk

 

got any pics of the mp3 install

what time do they meet at jillians

 

yeah i'll post some pics a little later, but its basically an all night kinda thing maybe until 1030 or 11. Its fun just hanging out with car enthusiasts and people interested in your car.

 

hey nova u got an RX-8 buddy in the Area now.. ill be pickin up my RX-8 tom nite!

i was gonna head up to jillians but
1) i cant drive stick that well.. i never owned one just leanred when i usta valet

2) my parents want me to goto Temple with them after we pick up the car so ill be home like 9:30 at nite

 

Which day do you guys usually meet? is this the jillians near roosevelt field?

 

its every tuesday night....... And regarding the person with a newly acquired manual car. Dont worry man. Im 17 and i learned on my dad's antique car and my uncles old saturn. I was definitely not a pro before i took ownership of my car. Its been in my possesion for about 2 weeks now and i feel comfortable with it now. Oh and the jillians is by farmingdale multiplex and the farmingdale airport. If you need directions i'll be more then happy to accomodate you. And hey the most you will have to do is park your car and open the hood . I would love to have more people with me showing it off to all the muscle and gadget freaks there. its really a great atmosphere.
