Get off your high horse, beaner. The guy's paying for it himself.

You probably don't want PoLaK telling you to put down the bottle once in a while, to quit wasting your life at such a pathetic job, or even to put your Rx8 money into your kids' college funds.

Don't think you know how a person should run his life.

I've presented my side of the story you can formulate your own opinions of me I don't feel an urgency to defend my situation. If you want to comment, comment on the drive

Edit: Crystal Mazda just got a 6sp in tit grey going to see it now ill take a camera this time

P00Man

yeah, pretty much...

hes obviously trying to be helpful, but you can clearly see the secretive attempts at corruption....

anyway, ignore him polak.

yeah im getting the car, yes mommy is paying for it, but ive earned, i wasnt alowed to work i had to focus on school, straigh a's for four years plus at 98-99%ile in the country on every big nationwide test taken in that time except SAT pre-tests which i either didnt take or simply filled in circles.
oh, and im 18 and have been driving a kia sephia that smells like **** for the past year, either that or riding a bike to get wherever i want to go.

i also have a business (still planning/designing prtotypes though...), and plan to open another as soon as i can find a small place to cheaply rent, and in 3 years im going to have another much more lucrative business, and next year im going to Columbia. so i know where i am going, and i also know exactly how im going to get there.

times have changed, you cant drive a good car for much less than 20k, and those arent even worth the money

polak how old are you? 16 or 17, if 16 you still have a year to wait to get some more $$ (of course you know that lol)

Ask for Bruse, he is a great guy to work with. They have three AT and they are all available.

Hi ACRX8,

I sent you a private message the other day, but I don't think you've seen it yet. Just wondering if you've heard any ETA from Brandywine.

Look, I apologize for riling all of you up, but not for giving out advice.

Get a life, this is the internet, there are all kinds of opinions whatsoever out there, and no body really know anybody else.

In no way, shape or form was I giving out my opinion of Polak as a person, I don't know him from Jack. I was just giving out advice as an older person, advice that I was glad I listened to when I was his age. He is the one who chose to give out all the details of his life.

I'm sure he has many older people in his life who really do know him that are giving him advice, so some nameless guy on the internet doesn't mean squat.

But, we all have opinions, I gave mine. If I wrote that I am boozing it out, I hate my job, and I am spending my kids college money on an RX-8, I hope somebody would post that I am being a stupid, selfish *****.

I am sorry that anyone thought I was being disrespectful...Lensman it's patronization...:D

I have taken the hint though, and from now on, I will post about what we all are passionate about...the RX-8.

I truly apologize for the trip to personal opinion and advice land.

Lensman

HaHa! Not in the land where we actually invented english before giving it to you to mutate! You say 'Tomato', we say 'patronise'.

the Internet wouldn't lie! :p :p :p

beaner

Lensman and Brx8...thanks for adding some levity to this thread that I unfortunately steered into a serious direction.

I forget the "internationality" of the audience in this forum...

I will take care to not correct anyone's spelling, even in jest:D

Take care guys and gals...thanks for the chuckle.

Boozehound

What are you saying?

Lensman

RATS!!! OK, I admit it: I'm an illegal immigrant to england and I can barely speak the language let alone spell it... Either that or I'm just plain wrong! DOH! Apologies Beaner, you got me big time. I suspect that's what they mean over here by 'hoisted by his own petard'.

Can we please get away from all the whining and crying about 16 year olds getting $30K cars from their parents. Some parents are rich, some are maybe not wise, who cares. There are tons of people out with with tons of money. Get over it and stop the hatred.. jeez.. We had a 19 yr old kid in our club that was paying $15,000 for insurance due to various infractions.. Then he was "good" for a year so the parents bought him a Z06. Do I think they're idiots? Yes. Am I "hating" their financial status and crying that I could never afford such vehicle when I was 19 and had to drive a ford Escort? NO. Enough. These kids should not be constantly subjected to these barrages from supposedly older, mature people.

beaner

Ooops....there I go again...can't stop offending people...

My apologies...I should have said "responsible" boozing (which is up to everyone's definition, which could cause considerable wasted time in argument, oh just shut me up...)

To anyone else that I offended...my apologies ahead of time...

:D :D :D

Quick_lude

Actually Beaner you did not offend me.. takes a lot more than that. :D This is spillover from an older thread.. many people were crying and complaining.. GET OVER IT. :p

beaner

Quick_lude...I think I admitted that in slightly different wording.

You are correct...we are all RX-8 enthusiasts, no matter what age, race, color,creed, whatever. How we manage to acquire our rx-8 is our business.

I was wrong for giving out my opinion on anyone's financial matters. This is not the place for it, nor am I qualified unless I know the person, and even then, I can just go to them.

I have seen the error of my ways...and this is my last post concerning it.

Lensman

Quality recovery. Respect due.

DannyA

As much as you all like talking about 16 year old boys, Umpuck asked a question about the cloth seats - does anyone have an answer. Pics would be great.

Also I've got a question: BLACK or TITANIUM GREY?????
I LOVE the black but as soon as it gets dirty (and black dirties very quickly) it's going to look dull osn't it?

beaner

Quicklude...sorry, dang this cross posting...the offending remark was partially in jest concerning Boozehound...(boozing and *****).

Lensman...thank you.

Over and out. Thanks for the thorough lesson in netiquette.

beaner

Danny...no answer on the cloth, I have seen the all black leather in a production model and it looks great to me. Quality is a subjective thing, but it looks very high quality to me.

I will never own another black car...it looks great for 24 hours after being washed and waxed, but after that...ugh!

I have seen the Nordic green and Titgray, and though they are excellent colors, for me I need a little more flashiness in a sports car. Just me though...

BRx8

ok, apology accepted :p

but don't go around spelling "elevator" as "lift", that is just plain wrong! :p :D

but sorry to be so off-topic...these kinds of threads "i just drove one today" or "i just got mine" are so plentiful these days that there's really nothing more to say...

[denial]i'm very jealous that mine isn't here yet and i refuse to believe that ANY of you have actually gotten yours let alone driven one...i MUST be the first![/denial]

What I find amusing is Webster's definition:Excuse me? The original English spelling is a variant of the American bastardisation?!?

My dealer finally took delivery of the first couple of RX-8s. I didn't have time to test drive but I sat in a yellow GT today and had the sales guy start the engine for me so I could finally hear that rotary.

My first impression was that the car truly looked better in person than on the Internet, the brochure or in magazines. The interior materials seemed to be of high quality. I was thoroughly impressed.

I had nearly given up and decided to go with the RSX Type-S, which is available now and much easier on the pocketbook. Seeing the RX-8 in person today has made me reconsider that. This is definitely unlike any car on the road today, though that will surely change since this is going to be a high-production vehicle.

I checked out a Velocity Red one yesterday - the red does not have much 'depth' to it. It was in the evening so the quality of light might be the cause of that. I was a bit disappointed, though.
So before you go for black one make sure to check one out first.

I'm Home, my experience with Crystal Mazda is well..... Less then what was with Falkner, They had 2 cars, one black automatic fully loaded whole nine yards, full spare tire etc.., that was just for show, and in fact I was quite happy to show them that the engine cover does in fact come off. The General Manager went out for a joyride on the titanium grey car. So I waited till he came back, my dad had to pull out of the dealership because our attendant would get fired if the GM saw a 16 year old on a permit kid driving a 35k manual rx-8. We were the first people to test drive that car it’s an honor. Once I got behind the wheel it was the first time I was scared by the car like OMG scared. This comes of course from I haven't ever driven a stick in over a year let alone a rotary. Because of this im cannot comment on the smoothness of the tranny, but I can say it is a very forgiving clutch. I didn't stall, but I bogged down first gear pretty well, anyway the cabin noise is much more evident in the manual which put more then a grin on my face Got to rev it to all 8500rpms, it gets there quicker than you'd think. It sounded like poetry in motion. I felt the power somewhere between 3x and 4x better then with the automatic. Handling was the same as with the automatic far as I could tell both had the sport-tuned suspension so I wouldn't expect a difference till the weight starts to play a factor. I was very glad the rules were bent for me, but when they came back with my dad’s 750 fico score, and the MSRP for the black car with touring pkg at 31,100 asking to put down a 2000k deposit. I kindly tried to explain their policy about not sell over MSRP was being broken. They fed me some bullshit about how the internet prices aren't correct then when I mention Falkner's price the fed me more bullshit about how the car may have less options... yada yada yada I left.

P00Man

what were the specs of that grey!?!?!!
