Got my RX-8 Friday!

Just picked up on Friday. One owner, only 11K miles, immaculate condition, already love this car.

Any suggestions on how to it in the best shape possible? I will mostly be driving in the city, live in the Northeast.

Nice! Just make sure to remote start it in the winter and wait until the engine is warm so when you turn it off the engine doesn't flood...but I am possitive you already know of that.

Dunlop M3's are good snow tires.

Just remember to check the oil regularly, and change it. Just the small the maintaince stuff can make a huge difference in how long the car will last.

Congrats. Nice color combo. As far as keeping it in shape read the manual front to back and stay tuned to this forum.

The dealer's tires are really nice and make for a soft ride but start putting money away for new tires - find out about weather tires otherwise you get slip and slide - dealers tires don't like water and they hate snow.

Congrats.....

Clear corners and a Clear Bra!
Two great additions. The corners are probably the simplest change in making a positive visual impact and the bra provides the necessary protection for the easy to chip paint.

That is quite a long location description but I still don't know where that is.

Sounds like some fine wine comes from those parts.
