Smile Best Xmas Present Ever!!

Hi everyone,

Well, I'm on top of the world tonite. This is my first day of owning a new 2005 Winning Blue 6sp RX-8. Just got it as a Christmas present from my wife!!!

Got home from work tonite and my wife had the car waiting in the driveway with a red bow on the top - just like that corny Lexus commercial, except it didn't feel so corny as it was happening to me. It was pretty cool, actually.

Anyway just wanted to share my happy story with my fellow RX-8 owners - glad to be part of the club.

My first few rides have been awesome - I love this car and my wife (but not in that order...I think ).

Here's a big public thanks to my wonderful wife - Wendy, you are the best!!

Welcome to the club and a big welcome to the WINNING team. Good choice in color!! Your wife is VERY thoughtful... you owe her big time. Does she know that you'll be spending LESS time with her now that your own an 8??

You're a lucky man - to have Wendy! The car's great. But a wife who'll buy you that car - that's something. Give her a big kiss and tell her it's from every car guy who's glad there are a few cool women out there... I've got one too

Merry Christmas and welcome to the club.

Oh, please tell me you got her something big! I notice that she left you three days to reciprocate. Damn. She's smart too.

Congrats! I'm hoping for the same Christmas morning. If not, I'm ordering after the New Year. I hope you are getting her something nice.

Well what the hell is wrong with my wife....

With 2 kids I'm having difficulty even getting permission to buy one much less having it delivered and wrapped in a bow.

Congrats!
