Finally got my 8!!
Hey all, Been following the site for a little while now. Finally got my 8. She's a 2005 Shinka. Drove her home from New York just before new years. Most fun I have had in a car in a long long time.
Pics will be up after we get some better weather.
Just wanted to say Hi to everyone and get any tips you guys may have about ownership......
Thanks!
Hump

The weather here sucks, so the pics are going to have to wait. Sorry. Yeah, I guess asking for tips was kinda stupid. I have been paying attention to the threads. I am near Altoona, PA. Small town called Bellwood.

I actually did take a couple pics of her when I got her home, but they aren't very good ones. I just qadded them to my profile. Not sure how to post them here.

I'll keep that in mind. There are very few in my area as well. It's really one of the reasons I got the 8 instead of a few other cars I was looking at. That and the fact that once I drove one I fell in love with the high revving, go cart handling, pure fun nature of the 8.

Here is my proof...
Ok, here are the pics from the day I got her home. Not great pics at all, but should be proof enough.......
Better pics will come in the spring and summer when I can get her all cleaned up.

Thanks! I am dying to polish her up and take some good pics, maybe even get my wife to shoot with her. The snow around here is killing me too.... I WANT TO DRIVE MY NEW TOY!!!
Looking forward to talking to everyone and learning more and more.

I got her from a dealership in Waterloo, NY. She's an 05 Shinka, 35,000 miles, 6 speed manual. She's not perfect, but I think for the money I spent I got a good car.
My hopes are to do a wheel and tire package on it, some window tint, iPod connect kit. Not looking to go extreme, I am a little old to be Speed Racer....lol. But I want to have some fun with her.
Not sure what other details you may be looking for, knowing that the Shinka gives you the idea of what accessories are in it.
Very, very happy with my decision so far.
