Talking Got It!

We picked up our new RX-8 today!

One word: Sweeeeet!

She's a titanium AT with the sport package. (The transmission equation: Wife + MT = Bad Combination.)

She's going in to Classic Soft Trim during the week for de-clothing and leathering.

Anyone have any advice on having the leather done (cool color combinations, things to watch out for, or whatever)?

We have a few weeks until we have to decide whether to install the front plate or keep the front end pure. Another tough decision...

We bought it at Jay Marks Mazda in Houston. Everything went really smooth: The sales guy did a great job finding the car and offered an excellent price with no BS at all. The business guy tried pretty hard to talk us into buying , well, pretty much every kind of add - on you can imagine, but once we made it clear that we weren't interested, he dropped the matter. He was able to match the financing we had pre-arranged, which was nice.

OK, two words: Extremely Sweeeet!!

Welcome! Congrats!

My wife doesn't drive MT either, but I told her it wasn't negotiable. This is my gift to myself for my promotion to E-6 and I wasn't going to settle for AT. She is the greatest!! (I was actually speaking of my wife, but the 8 runs right at the top of the list with her!)

Hi, AF. You know there's a guy named JSTARS around here. Isn't that at Robbins, too?

Congrats!
This was my wife & my first MT. She won't drive it (after many attempts) and I love it...
