Glad it wasn't out when I bought mine otherwise I would have had a real hard time deciding... I bet I would still be there standing on the lot comparing the two (V-Red vs. White)...

Where the air is rare
When I was looking for a "practical car", I made the mistake of test driving the RX-8...damn saleslady. Anyway, I made a bid on a vandalized (but being repaired) 05 Evo-8 (white). They made me a reasonable offer, but I told them I would have to sleep on it. I could not get the RX out of my mind, but knew I would have to get the whitewater pearl...nothing else would do. So, I called the Mitsu dealer and said "Thanks, but no thanks", and went down to the Mazda dealer. The closest white RX was two states away, but they made me a good deal, and had the car shipped to them. When I got the call from the dealer (three days early!!), I found my car sitting in the lot (backed in) and four people were pressing their noses against it. Beth (my saleslady) said "I'm so sorry. We've been trying to 'shoo' people away from your car since we pulled it out front. I had one guy offer $1000 over sticker to sell it to him today!".
I have had some nice looking cars in my day, but nothing has quite turned heads like this car. Even "seasoned citizens" rubber-neck and give it the twice over. I've had middle-aged WOMEN almost wreck because they were paying too much attention to it.
I really couldn't be happier with this car. I know that living in Colorado, it is certainly not the most practical car, and it isn't the fastest on the road (that may change a bit when the engine is all broken in and the boost gauge mounted...heh), but I haven't regretted my decision a single moment.

lol i don't see how white can be assumed a girl's "color" or a guy's "color" for that matter, its bloody paint for cryin out loud hahaha, BUT if it were pink.... that'd be a different story... but not surprisingly i'd be willing to bet a month's pay that at least ONE guy would buy the pink one (99.9% sure that that guy that did buy it would be in the age range of 16-22) but to each his own

My first post. I've been reading the form since I got my White RX-8 December 18, it was my Christmas present from the wife. I have yet to see another one on the road here in Atlanta. I noticed a .pic of a white 8 on the form yesterday. So now that we have an official space, I can not be quite any longer. The 8 looks great in White!

I have taken only one picture......this past weekend, I drove the "Tail of the Dragon". I got out of the car so I could cool off, and remembered that I had my camera. I have yet to download it to the laptop. I love the smile I get ever time I look at MY car. I'll have pictures sooon.
