Whatcha think?

looking good... your navi display has icons on the top left that mine doesn't.

also time to invest in a clear bra and get rid of the unsightly black one.. that'll increase your red :)

The bra is just for trips. I just installed it and want to let it stretch for a couple of days.

^Raptor is basically saying "Dont post pix of your AT because Ill make fun of you."

Not everyone is in a situation where they can own a MT car buddy, you dont have to flame for it. What if the dood only has 1 leg? :P

If he's physically unable to drive the MT, then fine, whatever -_-

Some people are unabled by means other than physical limitations as well.

Its an RX8, you own one too, yes? Than whats the problem?
If you dont have anything nice to say...

Anyways, Kay I think the shift knob and Ebrake look real nice with the rest of the interior, and of course the splash gaurds fit in like they should have been on at the factory. Very tastfull mods all around, I give it a thumbs up.

Looks good man. Personally, I prefer an all black interior, but that does look nice.

Don't worry what some dick might say, if you enjoy the automatic then that's all that matters.

How sad it is that someone feels this way.
Why you ask? Cause some people have to be JERKS. :nono:

The red AT is looking GREAT.
Keep up the good work.

Raptor, your'e such a freakin' NOOB!!! Leave this guy alone for cryin' out loud. If you have a problem with people buying automatics then that's YOUR PROBLEM!! (stay out of their threads)

Grats on the new mods, they look quite nice. I've got the same interior as you on my BB and it sure is sweeet lookin'.

Great looking interior. Normally I don't care for red but yours looks really good. You obviously take good care of it.

Looks like it ought to be a factory choice -
Anything red inside the trunk?

If you enjoy the automatic then that's all that matters.

When you can outpreform, and out show Chevys, Fords, Hondas, etc. that have sticks, with an automatic 8, then it just adds a secret joy to your gloat!
Rock on!!!!

Looks good Kay. The extras help the looks even more. :)

Some folks like AT's for different reasons, especially if they have to sit in stop & go traffic a lot. And some are just secure enough to let their gears be shifted automatically. :)

The icon is the North Up icon. It is the default mode and I was in that mode to look for a pizza place on the other side of the country.

Normally I am not in north up. It took me quite a while to figure out from the manual how to get it into normal mode. The icons in the owners manual are all just little black blobs that you can hardly see.

Nothing red in the trunk. The optional spare time comes on a puke yellow rim.
I gotta paint that black one of these days as I can't stand seeing the thing when I open the back seat divider/storage unit.

WOah is that 06 rx8? No keys huh? I wonder how much it would be to install on 05, keyless entry and start..

Tanned seats are nasty...? What are you two smoking? They look classy, I wanted red at first but I couldn't find a used one with the red interior, but found a great deal with tanned seats. I'm happy I went with the tan, I can't imagine living (or not going blind) with red seats and a red steering wheel.

Anyway, you AT butt-buddies can enjoy yourselves.

'05 M/T Brilliant Black Grand Touring Package, Black & Red leather interior, Navigation System,
Authentic MS Wing, Appearance Package, Racing Beat Revi with Ram Air Duct, Racing Beat Exhaust,
Racing Beat AC /Oil Screens, Rotary Accents, Front Splash Guards, Clear Corners, Rotary Center Caps,

Revi and racing beat exhaust, so about $1000, purely for the sake of sound. Bwuhaha, way to use those greens.

Man, you are funny. Actually, the tan/black combo is nice... just not on a red car. And, I have a manual, so to say that I'm an AT butt-buddy is wrong. Also to say that I would go blind with the red interior is wrong too... I have all black leather. So, congrats on being wrong twice in one post.

I think that all of 5 people on this forum have the tan leather with the VR. About 70% have the red/black. You should probably keep your mouth shut about the red/black. For future reference, I like the red/black.

but found a great deal with tanned seats.
I don't think that because it looked good, but because no one else wanted it. Maybe.

For the long-term test in Car and Driver, they had a red with the tan/black combo. One of the editor's remarks about it was "...and whoever came up with this color combo should be flogged..." So, I don't think it's just me.

Just not a red car, what makes you say that? Have you seen a red rx8 with a tanned interior? Would you like to go in a car show contest? I never said you had an AT, and by red interior I was talking about the thread author and Jedi. Way to be wrong thrice in one post, OH SNAP!!!

UFGator12
06-04-2006, 07:52 PM
Honestly, I do not want to get into it with another person on this forum that I will never see in person. It's just pointless. So, congrats on your car and I hope that you continue to like the combo. And, if it's what you want, then by all means I am glad that you have it.

But, please don't come into someone's thread about one of their mods and criticize them for something that they cannot change... especially when the person did nothing to provoke this action out of you.

Look at RX-8 sales nationally. Then here in the metroplex, where they are a rarity to begin with. Then look at the number of used RX-8s sold. Then get back to me.

I've posted pics of my interior before, and got compliments, even people telling me I should stick with the tan (I considered getting another aftermarket color). So I don't think I need to listen to your trolling.

An Evo owner can come up to me and tell me 'how's that 15 second quarter mile'. I wouldn't be offended. It's funny how everyone in this thread is ass-hurt about me not liking the AT. But yeah, I'll try to be on-topic next time. About the redness :Eyecrazy:

Sorry, I honestly forgot what I put. I know it was something offensive though. I'm trying to drop this whole thing and get back to the redness.
