new owner here saying hi yall
hey all, looking for a forum for my new toy =) and stumbled upon this one.
live in pottsville pa, im 30
and just scored myself a hell of a deal on a new leftover 2010 RX-8 R3 in velocity red. and so far i am in f'in heaven, so will probably have questions etc. i have always been a rotary fan. always loved Rx-7's used to love going for rides in my buddies 81 Rx-7 and just amazed at that 1.1 ltr engines performance, and have drooled over Rx-8's since they came out. and now
well now I OWN ONE.
first questions. any first things i should do? 250 miles on it atm. do i have to baby it for a certain amount of time. and know any cheap 16-17" rims i can throw some snowies on for winter time.
thanks all
lars

Hey have you guys dealt with Scott a lot? I just bought my 8 from a dealership in Ardmore and wanted to know what you thought of their service. Since I'm in Allentown, and I would love to be able to take it to a place near by.
On a side note, Heeroguy, that's a sweet car. My gf and I went on a test driving spree and saw that one on the lot and it was love at first sight. Didn't get to drive that one, but sure as hell wanted to. It was one of the reasons I bought the 8
