Just saying hi, and a greet to the rest of you. I pick up my dream baby in 2 weeks from Ohio and driving back to home in Rhode Island. I am sure I will have plenty of questions for you all. Been doing tons of research on how to treat her right, but I am sure I don't have all the answers yet.

2005 Whitewater Pearl
MT, GT, appearance package

 

Welcome

Be sure that when you ask questions, that you say you did search the forums but couldn't find anything. It'll help keep the flames down

Good thing you're driving it back, gives you and the 8 a good chance to bond

And before someone goes off and makes the maintence sound like it's rocket science and takes up a ton of time, it isn't and doesn't so don't worry

 

Welcome.. and hope to see you driving around in RI


Good luck with your new baby!!!!

welcome to the boards, congrats on new car.

 

Welcome to the club. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here as well as enjoying your new ride. And if you get flamed, just ignore it.

 

Welcome to the club!

 

OMG! -makes a rude, inflamatory remark that's actually rather shallow, puerile, and cliche!-

...but seriously, welcome aboard! ^_^

 

welcome man!! to the board to fit all your needs, and flame you for them

 

WElcome to the MaDNeSs!!!

 

congrats!

 

Whats up......

 

Congrats and welcome. Be sure to post up some pics when you get it.

 

Your already off to a great start. You picked the best color!!!

 

..and that is no accident Been looking for one that met all my criteria for several months, and Whitewater Pearl was my only choice.

Thanks for the warm welcome you all, even if half of it was flame warnings

No worries, it takes alot to offend me, and people generally find me likeable, so doubt I will be a fire-starter here.

... I would have gotten a VR if I was

 

Great colour choice. Needs black wheels right?

 

Actually no. I don't plan on doing much to the visuals. It is such a gorgeous car as it is, the only thing I have seen that actually enhances that is the MazdaSpeed kit and wing. No offense to those of you in here that disagree with me, but most of the visual modifications that people do to their cars take away from the original lines of their cars, and while some cars that is recommended, I don't want anything messing with the RX-8s lines. They are too pleasing to my eyes

As for performance mods, I already drive WAY too fast on 4 cylinders, I have enough performance to get myself into even more trouble stock. Which is why I just bought a Radar Detector. Help drop that some.

Most of my mods will be electrical in nature, though I can't get more specific till I spend some time with her to get to know her and her electrical nervous system

 

Hey CanOfWorms,

I get your point and also have lots of trouble keeping to the speed limit (although I mostly do). When you say you aren't going to do "much to the visuals", getting the MS kit and wing is ALREADY much ... a very good, muchness.

Ok so at least tint windows and clear corners. That's not much.
