Howdy All. New RX-8 Owner
Howdy. Long time Mazda fan... First time RX-8 owner. In the DFW area.

Just picked up an '05 Alpine Green Touring from Prestige Ford. Has yellow RX-8Club.com stickers on the sides & "Zoom-Freakin-Zoom" on the sunroof deflector. Greddy exhaust & 5Zigen wheels. Figured a club member had it (excellent detective skills, right). Thought I might be able to find the former owner, or someone who knew them or the car. Seems to be a nice car, well taken care of (hopefully I'm not wrong).

Anywho... peace-ish... or somesuch.

Anyways, welcome to the forum. And you're not wrong...the car was exceptionally taken care of.

Joe, you had the Greddy exhaust?! Oh wait, yes, we discussed that at BJ's at your bday...such a short memory with things like that...

Yes, I have washed and waxed that car with love, it is a beauty! I also burned the clutch once, my bad. :/

Awesome! Take good care of Fiona for me! She was a great car. Also, she's Nordic Green Mica. Her maintenance was always done at Town North Mazda, ask for Penny if you take her there. Fiona's picture still hangs in my garage. Welcome to the club!

Welcome!

Sounds like you picked a good one. It's always nice to know an enthusiast owned the car.
