Got mine last Monday; still grinning ear to ear!! Quite an upgrade from my 93 Ranger w/ 200,300 miles.

 

Welcome to the fun.

 

I am also on day 8 with my 8 and LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT!!! it has been raining a ton here the last 3 days, and I didnt really want to drive it in the rain, but I couldnt help it!! I dont think I can go a day without driving it!!! it would drive me nuts!!!!

 

Welcome to the club! Make sure to break her in properly and happy Rotoring.

ender_okc: don't you love how the water beads up in the V part of your hood? Looks like it's dancing for you when it rains.

 

I know exactly what you mean!! VERY COOL!!!

 

love the water beading. had a hard time trying to shake, and it was just another item on the long, long list of reasons to smile. can't wait til i've got a few more miles on mine so i can really start to crank it a bit.

congrats to ender

 

Congrats to you too man!! What color and options did you get??

 

black 05, base model. never been a fan of leather. plus i wanted the options to be personalized. wheels should be in tomorrow, clear corners soon after. tint, fender strakes, and more to come . . .

will be getting some pics today, for some b4/after shots.

 

Nice!! what rims did you get??

 

dunlop direzzas on 18inch konig tuner II (black finish) - waiting for them to arrive at my mechanic . . .
i check the UPS tracking way too often (they were scanned in Chelmsford MA yesterday morning) which is soooo close, but yet sooooo far . . .

 

that should look sweet!! cant wait to see pictures!! I love my Enkei Evo 5's!!

 

Hey DMC, what part of Providence do you live in? I'm in Attleboro and I drive an 05 Silver

 

i live in the Mt. Pleasant hood. I'm currently at work just off 295 @exit5.

3 out of 4 wheels delivered . . .
One lonely, lonely wheel still sitting in Chelmsford. I hate chelmsford.

 

dmc:

Can't wait to see the pictures.

If you're going to get fender strakes, I highly getting them from a guy named Howard in the UK. He's the only guy out there that is making them out of Stainless Steel instead of the cheap aluminum versions that Mazda makes. (plus Howard's are still cheaper, even after foreign exchange, and international shipping)

Here's a picture of mine: (thought you'd like to see since I have tint, clear corners, and strakes)

 

excellent. exactly what i was looking for. aluminum in the northeast - can you say replace annually?

thanks. you are a true master.

 

Welcome.

 

thanks Raptor. I'm loving it.
