oh yes I might as well comment on the fact that I got to sit in SO many different cars... and coming back to my RX8 in the parking lot made me appreciate my car even MORE. For example the Pontiac Solstice... you have NO rear or side visiblity really. Sitting in mustangs (even the pimped out ones) made me feel cheap, the retro stuff from the 50s and 60's style fonts and motif's suck.

It wasnt funny at the time but i was about top hop in the dodge viper they had on the floor but some little punk bitch kid was in the car, and somehow managed to LOCK the car (it was a convertible though so his dad just picked him up and left, but there was NO way to get it unlocked, it had power locked and no physical switch that me or several other people could find. Since there was no battery in the car bascially i couldnt get to sit in it :( and i wasnt about to just hop over the door onto the leather seats with my boots. I couldnt do that to an 80,000 dollar car. But hope that little kid trips and falls or something. hah

No Kabura I guess? I'd love to see one in person, especially to check out the 3 seat interior.

yeah no Kabura -- they just had a galaxy grey 06 RX8 along with the standard other offerings from Mazda. Even though the RX8 was an 06, I didn't much care for it in terms of being any different then my 05.

I didn't care for the white looking leather in the 06, and other then the fact the key system was different. I preferred my all black leather interior :-D and the fact that the MSRP on the 06 was something like 34K *EEK*

yeah the pics i posted came out great -- i have a few more but didn't feel like putting them up (took a while to resize those pics down and upload them as it was) but I love my Sony Cybershot H1 12X optical zoom camera. mmm 5.1 Megapixels (the ones I posted were resized down to 50%)
