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"

 

If they tell you you need a timing belt then they shouldn't be working on a rotory engine.

 

Well so far they forgot the appointment, to fix the car, I figure they will forget it is a rotory.

 

just a random note... does anyone here drive a silver or red 8, and they park occasionally at the west main st parcking deck at vcu...everytime i see it im green with envy, but then i see that weird spoiler on the silver 8 and i just laugh...god i hate that type of spoiler

 

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.

 

Got the car back, rain is keeping me from seeing if there are any swirl marks. Ticket said they flashed pcm but no code numbers.

 

In the drive from the dealer to home did you notice if your gas mileage improved?

 

lol

 

1.1 miles from Cap Mazda to office, normally takes 3 gal.

 

You gotta stop parking your car next to Tick's at the get-togethers!

 

Yeah..tick sell your car..get something diffrent...why spend more money on it when you know u have issues.

 

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

 

Doh got my airbag recall letter yesterday, thought my car was made late enuf that I was good to go. Gotta take it in next Monday. They'd better not get grease over the interior again though, or else I'm going to throw a fit!

 

Yeah, it always sux when some one else jacks up ur stuff..

But don't worry the rec-calls r nuthin..

 

mine goes in monday for the recalls also. then on wednesday i get the stoneshield installed and maybe tint : )

 

I ask you again Tick buddy...if you are haveing so many issues with that car...why haven't you gotten rid of it and why are you spending more money on it?

 

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.

 

See the benifits of a RX8 are countless!

 

yeah like killing the environment with 12mpg : )

are you meeting tonight? I think I can show up I am on vacation for a few days

 

Where and when is the meet tonight?

 

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.

Short Pump mall, behind the Comedy Club/food court. They start showing up about 7:30-8, along the concrete parking divider close to the access road that goes around the mall. Look for a bunch of really nice cars- WRXs, EVos, 8's S2000s, etc. I'm going to try and make it tonight too. If I get my car washed first.

 

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

 

Short Pump Mall 7:30-8ish... I will be there.

 

E, I am going to the Magic Touchless wash tonite..u can follow me!
