Hey everyone, just got back from Ft. Lauderdale where I picked up my Blue 6SP GT w/ Nav, broke it in down there and had an awesome trip back to Buffalo. I haven't seen any other 8's around and was just wondering if anyone else has theirs yet?

 

guess not.

 

I am in Rochester and also have a blur mt6 with Nav. I alo got the spoiler, aero kit, and rotary accent pckge. Thought I may have had the only one in upstate NY, lol. The weather up here makes these a bit less attractive. Oh well I fell in love and it is worth driving a winter beater.

 

I'm in Rochester also, and I'll be driving the car in the winter. I got a winter tire package from Tire Rack.

jkamen,
What Rochester dealer did you buy from? I went to Holtz Mazda.

 

I got mine from Holtz as well. What color, trim etc. did you get and when? I know that there are only a few around here. I have seen a red, tit grey, and yellow. I know I was the second sold out of Holtz. How about you?

 

Second sold? Is yours black?

Mine is silver / red & black, with mud guards and CD changer. It's a 6-speed, but then I don't think they have had an automatic in yet. Mine was about 5th or 6th sold. Delivery August 25.

 

hey pullin, I'm from Williamsville and havve Titanium loaded. Are you an Oral Surgeon? I'm a GP!!

 

No, I'm a GP also. Funny that two of the rare RX-8's in the area belong to dentists. I live in Williamsville also, I think I saw you driving once, because the only other one I've seen driving was titanium. That was my second choice in color. The only others I've seen were a black, red, and yellow on the Northtown Mazda lot, and a Silver one in the VW lot on Millersport. Are you going to be driving yours this winter?

 

Hey Teef, I bought Parelli snows,but really have not tested them on snow(no snow in Buffalo,yet!!) They are a nice ride on dry roads. I've seen a black and silver 8 in the last 2 weeks. Do you have Fla. plates?? A salesman at Northtown had his 8 stolen. They stripped it and torched it. He was on the west side(elmwood area) Car found ,then stolen again!! A flatbed picked it up....gone.

 

Yes, I did have Fla plates because I bought it in Ft. Lauderdale - I wasn't able to get the specs I wanted in Buffalo without waiting a very long time. I have family in Fla and they were able to keep on top of the Mazda dealer there for any preorders that fell through, so I got mine on Aug 1st and had a great drive back up here. Now I have NY plates on though. That's horrible about the car being stolen, I didn't hear about that. I got some Blizzak LM-22's on 17" wheels that handle great in the snow (the DSC works fantastic) but you still have to be careful of course.
