My new Winning Blue 8!
Me and my brand new RX8 with ALL the options including NAV system!
And to make it even better, I'd just set a new personal record in a 10k Road Race! (on foot, not in the 8 <g>).

Yours might have been the first 8 I saw in the Wild! I saw one in Fishers on 116th about 2 or 3 months ago. It was blue also.
And then saw one (Blue 8) just last week by Cardinal Fitness just south of Costco on Michigan Road.
I actualy live in Westfield/Noblesville and work at 96th & Michigan.
Got 723 miles on the 8 and LOVING it! Think this is going to be an even better car than my Renisance Red 1980 Aneversiry Edition RX7!

Stuck in a love triangle
I wishthe blue Rx8s could actually stay that bright and shiny. They only seemto look like that for the first two weeks and thenafterwards they become dull. All the blue Rx8s Ive seen around here have become dull and not very pleasing to the eye. I guess that color has to be waxed often to keep it that shiny. Another reason why I got the Titanium.

JeRKy 8 Owner:
I have seen studies showing that certain colours do not require as much cleaning as other - Greys and Light Colours being the easiest to maintain - Others in the middle - and Black the most difficult - so I can see your point BUT I must there is nothing more appealing to my eye as a just cleaned and waxed Black car - my E320 and XJ6 in particular.
From a maintence point of view I wash my cars every week or two - about 20 minutes to rinse, hand wash and dry. I wax twice a year or so - about one to 1 1/2 hours then - just finished my blue RX-8 first wax job.
For me this is not a pain but a pleasure.
My 2 cents
