I live in north jersey and still debating between the RX-8 and the IS300. i also had thought of getting the 350z but decided it was not pratical for a first car. i post alot on the 350z websites and on the IS300 and supra forums. the rotary engine is definitely something new and different for me since i have been around 2JZ motors and the 350z's for a while. i will be reading alot of threads and may not post as much because i realitively new to the site. I look forward to the meets and further discussions on this forum. Sorry for the long post.

Be careful at Crystal Auto. I brought my MX-6 for service there a few years back and they put a huge dent in the drivers side door. I know accidents happen, but they denied any responsibilty for it and refused to fix it. I had the police come to file an accident report for my insurance but could never recover my deductible. Always have the dealer sign off on the condition of the car when you leave it for service.

if you're not going t be around to use it, then i don't see a strong reason to get it.

if you end up coming back next year, you can get a new model, or a discounted 04/05?.. that could be worth it in itself.

i do hope you don't have to goto iraq, not for the whole rx-8 deal, but rather war/occupation sucks.

Just moved here...

...from OC, CA. I've been here for about three weeks, my RX-8 (silver 6spd GT) is on its way, should be here in 10 days -- can't wait.

Bought a house in Oakland, office is in Fort Lee.

Haven't seen a single RX-8 in NJ yet. Have seen a number of 350zs and G35 Coupes though.

Also saw an ad in the Bergen Cty newspaper for RX-8s leasing for "...as low as $249 per mo..." Disappointing, sounds like distress sale.

My baby's sleeping in the garage. When the weather starts to get nicer you should see mine driving past where you are located on route 287. I know a lot of great roads to appreciate the handling of our cars in our area. Let me know if you want to meet up sometime.

i bought my rx8 in october and i was always in the fort lee area when i would go to tribeca. it was a brilliant black with red streetglow underbody kit.....she is gone now but soon to be back.
bay-thanx for the concern and advise...reasons why i still want to buy her again is because if i wouldn't have totalled her, she would have still been stored for a year in the garage. this is why i am leaning towards buying her again, thanx though

How far is 287 from Phila? - we should do a NJ meet sometime.

Hope all you guys can make it to the PA meet in Glenside on March 20th!

From where I'm at to Phila, it's about 1 1/2 drive. I'm located in the North West of NJ. If someone can arrange a meet in a central location of NJ, sure I'll go.

Blackbeard - are you of the Northern NJ sort that considers anything south of their location central jersey ? Look at it this way, you can take the side roads along the Delaware to get to Philly and have some fun.

I remeber there was a really nice park by Rutgers New Brunswick right off I-95 that I used to go to Maxima meets a long time ago when I had the max. It can hold a lot of cars. I just can't remember the name of it. It's in Central NJ though.

There's actually a bunch of parks all along the Raritan near Rutgers that would be great. I believe the most well known park around Rutgers is Johnson Park.

I hope we can arrange a meet soon but not too soon. I'm most likely getting my RX8 in about 2 weeks. Hopefully I'll have the Carbon Fiber Mazdaspeed bodykit and 19" HRE's by then. I'd still roll through even if the car stock though, just to meet other RX8 owners here in NY/NJ.

doing a meet at englishtown would be cool. the autox track is being worked on and drifting is becoming popular down there as well. so there is plenty for everyone to do. it would be cool to do a meet when there are races and shows going on down there so we can take over the track and win the shows lol haha. just a suggestion
