so i figured i've been part of this forum for too long with no 8. so i got one now!

 

COngrats on the new purchase! But hey at least it's not your first rotary! Now we just need to know where abouts you are so you can join us on our monthly drives with "the-winding-road"

 

How much?
Miles?
Options?

WE NEED DETAILS MAN!!!!

 

i live in centralia about 20 minutes south of oly.

its a 2005 6-speed
$14,999
17,892 miles
not sure of the options(not sure which are standard anyway). its got bose system, HID's, heated seats, black leather, spare tire package, keyless entry, and a power moon roof.

definitly let me know when some drives meets are, i usually go to the RX-7 izzys meets and the del taco meets.


am i correct on thinking that it is sunlight silver?

 

Sunlight Silver and your paint code is 68.

Be verey careful, you know about the silver curse right?


Congrats!

 

you say its touring but touring has cloth seats. if you have heated mirrors or heated seats then it is a grand touring if not then the leather is aftermarket

good choice of color its bright and cheery here in the winter. just watch out for the water dance

 

not sure then, i have leather and heated seats.

 

Heated seats, leather, moon roof, Bose system, keyless entry...... it's a Grand Touring model.

Congrats! The 8 is a fine addition to your Rotary collection.

 

grand touring!? awesome. i always thought they came with the aero kit and navi. but i guess there just options.

 

whats the silver curse?

 

Congrats!!!!!!!!

 

Well....of course it's not really a curse, but it's been a running thing on this site for a couple of years. Silver seems to be the color in more accidents and mishaps more than any other color.

 

hmm, come to think of it. my rear tires are already gone!!! should've got the black.

 

This is just a hunch, but just mayybe.... silver is also the most common color of car on the road?

That's apparently no longer valid, because white is now king. That's for new vehicles though. I am pretty sure silver has been king for many years in the last decade or two.

Always beware of any "statistics" you hear.
