sorry dude, but to my pleasant surprise, i had a little package waiting at my door today...it was a great way to come home from work after a nice long holiday weekend...

the book is nice, i haven't read it yet but i did learn that the Audiopilot mic is on the center console and not in the steering column like the 350Z which gave innacurate readings due to road vibrations...so that's a nice plus...

was it the hard cover book? looks like the $50.00 rx-7 book? or was it just a small book about 100 or so pages?

it definitely is a VERY nice book, something you'd see at the book stores selling for $50+...it's around 200 pages, full color, hardcover...if you take the sleeve off, the cover has an RX-8 engraved with a sillouette of the car...if i wasn't a collector, i'd sell it on eBay and make a few extra bucks to cover partial payment the car!

EDIT: well maybe not partial payment...maybe a gas fill up... =)

Just got my book today! And even though I ordered Jan 9, rx8orders said I wasnt a preorder! That is, until I pestered my dealer enough to get my email on the order. Looks like it took! I got the book!

I have not received mine yet. I moved after placing my order and figure that it will take a couple of days for the mail forwarding process. Hope to have it by Friday but we shall see.

not yet. My original preorder had an old address. I later had it corrected. Seems that should have gotten the correct address for the book. Waiting to see.

I got my book today. It was the lone bright spot on my truly sh**ty day. Got a last-minute 'request' to go to Detroit (Hamtramck) tomorrow.

Haven't gotten my VIN or any emails from Mazda yet.

I received mine today, you'll need to give the pony express an extra day to cross the desert (It's hot, 109 today!)

"This is so cool..."

I think my wife said I said that at least 10 times in the first 45 minutes of poring over the book that showed up in the mailbox today.

Received mine today. Mazda is certainly a passionate car company though I have never driven one before! I hope their quality will match their passion on its product, then it will worth my decision to switch and order one of this RX-8.

I received my book yesterday. Very nice indeed! I didn't get to read much of it, but it's in the same format as the Yamaguchi authored 2nd Gen book I was given long ago. Quality stuff!

I suspect, many of those who should be getting it, will soon. I guess it wouldn't hurt to politely follow up on it though.

No word on v.i.n. yet, but the folks at Mazda seem to be communicating with me anyway.

Got my book Yesterday. I'm surprised considering I ordered the RX8 late March. I also received the Wankel Rotary Engine book that someone recommended in an earlier thread. Great book so far. They suplement each other very well. The Mazda RX8 book is awesome. I'd rather have the book than any other dinky toy. Peace.
