hi

this is my first post here. ive snooped around for a while but just got around to registering. ive had my black rx-8 for about a month. unfotunately, its in the shop right now becasue i ran over a ginormous pothole over the weekend and bent both rims on the passenger side .

i traded in my '02 protege5 (which i absolutely loved) for the rx-8, but i guess i cant complain. i am also a member of the protege5.com forums where i have about 7400 posts and i look forward to posting here frequently aswell

ill post a few pics later once i resize them becasue apparently this board has a 200kb limit on attached files which is kind of lame but i guess ill deal with it.

Awesome! Owning a black RX8 means you’re a true enthusiast. Meaning, you always be out washing that 8 to make it shine… :D

I own a Titanium Gray, and I cannot keep from washing it :o Welcome to our little slice of Heaven....

i got my car back yesterday after i bent 2 rims last week.

i ended up just buying 2 stock wheels out of pocket (since one of my very good friends is the owner of www.mazdarx8online.com i got an awesome deal) and paying for wheel balancing/alignment rather than filing a claim and having my insurance premium go up.
