^also great advice. Don't get the platic glitter though, the paint won't absorb it. It has to be the tungsten glitter. Your Mazda dealer should have it, along with turnsignal fluid.

ALL very hilarious responses. Thanks guys, I needed a good laugh today.

The 'glitter' on your car will not fade over time as long as you wax and wash it regularly. Make sure to wax AT LEAST every 3 months. Definitely check out the Show & Shine section...

This has to be in the top 10 for "Threads that make you shake your head".

It makes you wonder how he will handle the "adding the oil issue">

I thought the RX8 was a two-stroke, and you added the oil to the petrol...
