Hey Guys. I'm the proud new owner of a blue 2010 R3. Picked it up from Chicago area on the 6th and I haven't been able to stop smiling. I thought I'd introduce myself. This is my second Mazda, the first being a NB Miata that is currently fighting for project car money with my old Jeep CJ.
Other then maybe some lighting I plan on leaving her pretty stock. This is my first car with actual Bumper to Bumper, anyone have thoughts on dealers in the Macomb/Oakland County area?
This seems to be a great community and I hope to contribute to it.

I happy I found it, the only other Blue R3 for sale recently around here was that one in Ann Arbor that had front end damage. It is in great shape. there is a small blemish in the paint above the drivers door, but I took that as a wash when I noticed the never mentioned the Racing Beat exhaust.

I saw it in a dealer post on auto trader. The carfax on it listed front end damage. The sales guy knew about it, but had no doc on who fixed it and total extent of the damage. Even at 20k I walked away right there.

Just an FYI, the 1st Detroit Cars, Coffee, & Karts is this Saturday March 31st at Kart2Kart in Sterling Heights. It runs from 8:30am-12pm roughly. All kinds of cool cars show up and you can also have some fun on Kart2Kart's awesome go-kart track.
Here's a link to the Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/333991937331/ and Kart2Kart is located at:
42705 Van Dyke
Sterling Heights, MI 48314
I hope to be there and I think it would be cool if some other 8's made it.

I'd love to go, but I'll be tinkering with the rx8 for the first time that morning.. (damned tail light condensation!!!) If I can wrap everything up by 10:30, I'll head out there (bit of a drive for me)

Hey Everyone,
I've had my 8 for three years, but I can't remember if I ever posted in the Michigan forum. Anywho, I'm usually driving around the Wayne/Westland/Canton/Ann Arbor area on any given day of the week. I've got a titanium gray '04 with tinted windows and a single exit HKS exhaust. I'm usually on stock rims unless it's an autocross weekend and I've swapped rims. If you see me, give me a wave or something and I'll know you're from the board.
I saw a sunlight silver near Canton Center and Michigan Ave yesterday. Looked like it got punched in the nose. Is that anybody here?
I'm glad to see a fair number of 8 owners in this general area. Will definitely have to attend any get-togethers.
Here's a fairly crappy pic I took with my phone while waiting to get an alignment.

Well there were 3 RX8's at Car and Coffee this morning. My RX8, a Blue R3 with a Chips Motorsports window banner, and then one more Blue R3 showed up.
It was chilly out but plenty of cool cars showed up!
