it always seems as though when you tell people "i'm 21" they go "aw, you're still a baby" but as soon as you tell people "i'm 22" suddenly, you no longer get that.

Well, the time has comes that I no longer get called a baby..lol. Point is-I miss my rx8 terribly, and the stupid benz is just too dang small for me and i HATE driving Auto--so it's back to square 2..I'm going Mazda again

Sure it will be no RX8, but at least i'll still somewhat be part of the family again! I'm going tomrrow to look at an 08 Mazda 3. I should hopefully be picking it up next week. I know they don't have in one that I want, so I'm going to have to wait nicely for them to find one.

I'll let you all know how it goes.

 

Welcome "back" and check out the MS3 if you haven't already.

 

lol, thanks. I like the MS3 a lot, but I really don't want the hatch and sadly, i need the better gas mi from the boring 3. I drive alost 70 miles round trip to school

 

or you could just quit school and buy an rx8 again
do it!

 

hahaha. I wish But nooo, i have all this schooling for Deaf kids. SHEESH! lol

 

Mazda is the best!

 

 

i drive 60 miles to school and back. <3 rx8.

why not trade the mbz for the same model just a manual?

what about getting a used 330ci with a manual?

its just that i wouldnt get a company flagship car and then go with a car lower down on their ladder.

 

aw, you're gonna get a baby mazda!

 

I dont think you will be all that happy with a normal 3. Get the MS3, the gas mileage is pretty good considering. The 3 and the RX-8 are TOTALLY different, just because they are both Mazdas doesnt mean ur gonna get any of that excitement back from when u had the 8.

 

how about a Miata? Shares some same compnents as the 8. Plus they're pretty fun to drive.
But then you said your c230 is too small...

 

i'm not worried about it being a 'fun' car...any mazda will be more fun than the benz...lol

 

not this benz..

 

Get a used Mazda 6 or the sexy new one
My friend has the same benz. It sucks and not much you can do with it. They look ok with wheels.

 

Well it's now on it's way to Lexington. i signed all the papers on it yesterday. Unfortunatly, the Sunlight Silver was sold (there were only 3 MT's available for like, 600mi) so i'm now getting a white one, which is okie by me!

I'm driving a base 3 loaner right now--and it's fun and cute, but I want mine dangit! lol

 

Congrats Morgan! Don't leave us even though you have a 3 :D

 

My new baby! Picked it up today!!! yay!!

 

very nice morgan, welcome back to mazdaland

 

It's nice to be back! I couldn't stay away very long!!

 

at least the steering wheel looks like an 8's

nice car

 

Pics of you in the bow?

 

Good thinking Ajax!

 

sadly, they kept my bow =(

 

You should've said "Give me the bow or it's no deal."

I just picked up a 3 of my own today, but mine's an used 2006 hatch in pristine condition.

 

gah, I am SO in love with my car!!
