Hello from happy new owner
1 Attachment(s)
Just wanted to say hello and thank everyone for helping me decide to get an RX-8!! Especially the "little things" thread... that's what really did it :-).
I picked her up yesterday: '06 GT with all options except nav sunlight silver mica brand new Proxes 4 43,000 Km I have included the only pic I took so far when I test drove it (taken on my BB so it's pretty bad, sorry for that). I am in Ottawa, and we just got a dump of snow yesterday - so I haven't been able to drive it other than the test drive a few days ago... and it's killing me. I spent about two hours just sitting in it yesterday reading the OM and getting familiar with the car. Anyway - cheers for now! Ben |

Good purchase!
And, looks like you've been doing your own research. Good on ya! Read this thread and make sure that you nail down at least the first few of the mods! (or, the ones that are more relevant to you and your location) Welcome to the Club! |
sweeet car. congrats and welcome.
|
Thank you Soldier for the link - I am heading over there now. And thanks for the good words everyone, this seems like a pretty cool place to hang out with fellow enthusiasts. :beer05:
EDIT: really great info in the mods under $100 thread - all I have to do now is wait for the temperature to rise from -15C so I can get started. |
I just bought a 2005 Shinka RX8, 54,000 miles. Superb condition. I love it! We were looking for a cheaper luxury/family sedan....but one look and drive and it was mine:) Any advice to a newbie??

Well well... I had some time to do a proper forum search using google tonight, and remembered Kaiser mentioning a "silver curse". I looked it up.
lol - looks like I picked a car that somehow attracts accidents caused by others! There seem to be a few theories out there, some try to explain it scientifically, others point to witchcraft or voodoo... Either way, that's kinda weird - but I won't let this keep me up at night. ...or will I? :scared: |
dun dun DUN...... :eek:
|
Welcome and enjoy the car!
|
Welcome man.
Don't worry about the SS curse, I think Phrenetik has the curse all to himself and isn't SS. It's so refreshing to see someone doing their own research. :icon_tup: |
