New RX8 owner Long Island, NY (56k might take a little bit)

Hey everyone. I just picked up my 05 8 on thursday. She is the Grand Touring model with everything but the Navi. I picked her up in NJ with only 2000 miles on her. She is such a fun car to drive. This 9000rpm limit is crazy. My pervious car was an 03 Vibrant Blue Nissan Spec V that I bought new. I had exhaust, header, Suspension, mmi, Roja Formula 5 rims, and a couple of other small things. The RX is such a nicer/better car in everyway over the nissan.

This is my first Rotary engine car I have owned. Ive been reading the site for about a week now trying to learn some things. I found out about the engine flooding, and keeping on top of the oil. Any/all hints, info, recomendations, or other sites would be greatly appreciated. Ohh heres some pics
