It only took 4 years of being compulsively obsessed about this car.. that I finally bought it last night. I went to the dealership, picked it up, got it home and hugged it and got a snapshot taken!

I hope my attempt at posting the snap works.

Thanks to the forum for making the 4yr long wait comforting!

ZOOM ZOOM!

 

Congratulations, dude.

 

What kind of daddy are you? No date of birth, no age. Harumph.

Congratulations!

 

I still cannot believe the fact that I just bought the car. Allow me a tad bit of time to get used to the idea that I no longer have to crave about buying it and then.. i can get the details. Also, I will take more snapshots later on and post it.

 

Whoa, 4 yrs.... It took 4 months for me to actually pull the trigger and each day was killing me.

Congrats man! Have fun w/the tailpipe!

 

smh

watch out for carbon

*pukes*

 

It took me 8 months only because I didn't want a 2004 and to get a good deal towards the end of the year, bought mine in nov.

 

Congratulations Abs.. Looking forward to seeing it at the next meet!!

 

Congrats man! Now get some winter tires on it right away, or park it. Those stock summer tires don't work up here in Canada.

Winter packages are at their cheapest right now.

 

LOL, it took me 6-8 months of heavy research and alot of reading here...and I even nearly gave up on it, but the day I drove off the lot I was in HIGH HEAVEN!!!

Congrats, welcome to the club and READ READ READ so you know how to treat your rotary.

 

Becareful with your new baby ... :-D

It roars ...

 

Congrats and Welcome! There is no hug like the first hug

 

Congrats man. I don't think I ever hugged my car yet.

 

good shyt, welcome to the club...

 

I've been a member of this forum since November and fell in love with the car since. I test drove one in January and bought it the next day. I just love everything about this car, I can't wait til springtime here in New England! I haven't even had the chance to wash her yet because the weather up here has been crappy.

 

Welcome to the club!

 

There really is no feeling quite like those tow doors wraping around you :P

Major congrats on getting your 8 bro, you're gunna be in heaven every commute you make.
Sooooo, when are you gunna start modding???? hehehe

 

Oh, one last thing I forgot to mention (though I'm sure you already know)

Please remember to break the engine in properly. Your car will thank you later.

 

THanks all.
Winter tires? NOT yet.. i am not going to drive it a lot till it gets warmer. Maybe on the days when sun is out and roads are dry, will take it out for a spin.

and YES>> i am very carefull about engine breakin. my dealership mechanic told me what not to do.. and i have read the forums enough to know what to do and not to do.

so, engine breakin is on its way.,

 

Congrats man. Enjoy.

 

just curious, did you get a good deal on it? nice choice of color btw, silver is definitely the most sophisticated color contrary to all the curse talk haha.

 

Im convinced that TiGrey is cursed myself... everyone Ive known thats gotten a TiGrey Mazda in the past 4 years has gotten into an accident before they even got the dealer tags off, including myself! Ive only had the car 3 weeks and some stupid 15 year old girl back into me in a parking lot on saturday.

Watch ur *** man, those cursed colors can be wicked. :P

 

O... I am very carefull with the car.. very watchful.

I think i did get a good deal. My parents did all the talking and dealing and I have 100% faith on them. Also, employee discount also helps.

 

Watch your speed man. The pope's notice our cars. They are also way to easy to drive fast.

Enjoy.
