Finally getting the 8, pick it up tonight

Well, we're finally picking up the RX8 tonight to make my dream all rotary garage come true. We found a Silver 05 6MT with MT Touring package for $24,4K after a rebate for financing through Mazda. Been holding out for a while hoping for a deal and I think this is it. I'll post some pictures tonight with my RX7 after we get it home.

Damn, I'm excited. We've already picked out the plate, since it will be my wife's car: ROTR GRL

:D

Wow, an anti-piston garage! Nice!

Would love to see the two cars side-by-side.

i'm not sure how many mile exactly, but the wife drove it quite a bit today Hope to catch up with you next season at autox when I'll be instructing my wife too! She'll also become my new tire caddy since I can't get my track tires in the FD :o

"Honey, can I use your car today. The Tacoma won't start and the FD is at the shop." - joe says while hiding the fact he cut the wires on the Tacoma and parked the FD WAAAAAAAAAAY down the street.

HAHA, this sounds like my girlfriend and I only I've got the RX-8 and she's got the Tacoma.

It's times like this I am REALLY grateful she can't drive a M/T.

Congrats again on the car
