Well its 8:30am and Cap Mazda still is not done with my car, so far no phone calls, when I called them I was told that he had a choice of two cars to let tn=he mechanic look at, mine was not the one he chose. This morning they said the computer for flashing the chip was down yesterday. Not a very pretty picture of customer care. I can not wait to see what the bill is. " We changed the timing belt, you have 850 miles on it"

Not an 8 hater! I just feel that Mazda Corp and Cap Mazda have terrible customer service. I pray every day that my transmission will fall out of my car so I can finally lemon law it and move on to a more reliable source of transportation. I would probably get a G35 in case you were curious : ) You can only get beat down and esecentially called a liar so many times before you give up. Personally I still love the car but I would not reccomend any mazda vehicle to anyone due to the fact that Mazda has ZERO customer service! Anyway I am going to get my clear guard installed this coming up week and probably get the windows tinted.

He is only in his second tank..so I don't think he has a basis for comparison...

My RX8 just saved my life. I was driving on 95 and a rock the size of a softball fall off the truck in front of me. It head straight for my windshield but passed just over the roof. If I had been in a taller car, it would have taken my head off.

BTW, have you seen the cool TSB that Mazda put out on the flooding issue? I don't think we are going to see a fix any time soon.

Tick, bring your CD player if you come in case I can stop by (working that out now). Please post if you can't make it, it's a long drive to "Shot Pump".
Thanks
Thanks
